Top MBA without "typical" work experience???

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I was in the same shoes as you were brother.
I would say do what your heart tells you.
I graduated as Valedictorian of my University and then I chose to serve my mission.
All my classmates were getting corporate world experiences while I was away on my mission earning nothing, except things of the spirit and things which have helped me on things which matter most in life.
I was District Leader then Assistant to the President.
My mission was the best experience I have had. After my mission, I worked at a consulting firm for 1 1/2 years and then now I am doing a Master’s Program in Finance at the University of Cambridge. Their requirement is 3 years of experience and a first class.
I only have 1 1/2 experience and I have a second class and still I got in with a full scholarship. Just show them how passionate you are about your dreams in life. And they will feel your sincerity.</p>

<p>I know U.S. schools are considered more prestigious but my experience here have just confirmed to me that the Lord’s work is more important than any degree. There are things in life more worthwhile.^^,</p>

<p>My classmates are now in Wharton, Harvard, and so forth. But, I am in Cambridge.^^,
These are all brands and names. Enjoy life brother and live the gospel as I know you do.
“Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.”</p>
