you need at least a couple years in the US getting practical business experience before you can expect to be accepted in any decent program in the us. \n\nsee below for specifics on schools and don't bother getting a mba if is not from one of the top 200 or so schools.

I got my MBA just before my xxth birthday.  As Dear Abby used to say, "And how old would you be in three years if you don't get that degree?" She was right.  You can be three years older without the degree, or with it. \nI am very glad I did it - I basically started a whole new (and more lucrative) career in finance, but my electical engineering background helps immensely.  \nTwo recommendations: 1) pick the absolutely best school you can - don't go to the community college or you'll be wasting your valuable time, 2) consider strongly leaving your current job/company when you get your degree - that's the only way to capture your new value.

1. Download the application packages at some of the b-school websites. Take a look at the admission essay questions. You'll need to do well in this area to distinguish yourself from others especially if you are weak in any other areas.\n\n2. I would also talk to as many current students and MBA graduates from the schools you're interested as possible. In your application or essay, you can mention that you've talked to John Doe (Class of 199X) of their business school, it shows your sincere interest in their school. Business is about your network and b-school is no different. The more people you know from these top schools that are willing to speak positively for you, the better your chances of getting in. I would even write to the admissions officers.\n\n3. Keep current with b-school trends. Understand what kind of students they are looking for. Business Week is a good source. Also check out princeton review, kaplan, wetfeet.com, and vault.com.\n\nGood luck!

I agree that you probably want some real world experience before getting the MBA, but you probably should take the test soon, if only because your mind is primed for taking stupid tests.  And it is a stupid test.  More than any other test I've ever taken, it is a test you study for, then completely forget everything you learned once the test is over.  It is an exercise on how not to solve problems.\n\nHowever, you should probably wait until your finals are over and you can fully concentrate on the GMAT study material.  It will be detrimental to both the GMAT and your schoolwork if you try to cram them in at the same time.  Actually, thinking about it, you may want to wait until summer, or even the summer after you graduate.  Remember, you really should have at least 2-5 years under your belt before applying - top B-schools are looking for candidates with proven potential to be business leaders, and until you've worked and succeeded in leadership positions, you have not yet earned that distinction.

MBA would absolutely give you almost all the opportunities in all kinds of corporation to be hired easily esp. when you have taken it from some famous business schools like Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, MIT:Sloan, UCBerkely-Haas,etc. Literally speaking, it would be your "golden key" to open a "golden box". That's why the competition tobe admitted in that course is also a challenge one.

It helps. But in some areas like business, employers would employ some one with a bachelor's degree straight from college at an entry level. To do an MBA well you need to have some business experience to leverage on.

You could try a professional certificate in Management / Business Administration, or if time and money permit, a MBA.\nI would personally opt for a MBA program, as this will give you a very good insight on Business and Management, and will certainly open many doors for you career-wise. I have no idea where you live, but most serious, accredited universities offer flexible schedule MBAs so you can keep on working while studying. Just make sure you check out the university's accreditations, there are way too many scams nowadays especially from online-based universities.

I'm not sure it helps with no experience.  I'm in the process of getting into an MBA program because I think at mid-career it will be a great deal of help.  Two small businesses I was involved in a few years ago both failed because we didn't see things we should have seen and I think an MBA would have allowed us to see what was coming and better prepare for it.

If you have had strong training in accounting, economics, and stats you should be good.  Good MBA programs are very quantitatively intensive.

I would suggest you first find a few universities that have the program of study that you want, and then contact their financial aid departments to ask them about their options. If you type "MBA program" into yahoo search, a lot of different universities come up. Here's a couple website that might be of use: \n\nhttp://www.fundingusstudy.org/dol/keyword_search_prod.asp?Type=Any

I would highly recommend that you work for a few years before pursuing a graduate degree like an MBA.  You'll get a much better feel for the areas in which you'd like to work, plus the real world experience is invaluable when you're studying theory in school.  In the financial areas, such as investment and banking, an MBA would be almost mandatory to obtain a good career position.
