What's the next step...?

Hey Guys,

Some advice needed here please.

I’m a senior at a Midwestern State University (maybe you’ve heard of it… MAYBE NOT!). By December I’ll have a BBA with a Finance major/Economics minor. I have a 3.8 cumulative GPA and a profound interest in the Finance industry.

However, I am an international student, originally from the Caribbean islands. I don’t know how that fact will play out for me in the future. I have two years experience at an indigenous commercial bank from back home, and would desperately like to get a foot into the investment/finance/financial engineering field here in the US.

A lot of the Business school research I have done so far lists work experience as a definite plus. One of my questions is, would my “work experience” count toward an easier acceptance into an MBA program?

Another question is, does one want to jump into an MBA program soon after getting their undergraduate degree?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
