Please help my friend...because I can't!!

<p>One of my close friends was rejected from the University of Michigan Ross b-school (for their BBA program). However, he still really wants to do business and is still thinking about getting a MBA, obviously in the future. He wanted to know if he did a non-business major and worked in non-profit for a few years (which he wanted to do after graduation), could he then go back to school, get a MBA and then get a job in consulting? Or should he bite the bullet, and spend an extra semester/year to reapply and hopefully get in?</p>

<p>Any help would be appreciated because I had no idea what to tell him! Thanks!</p>

<p>Both options work but he will have a better chance after gaining a few years of work experience before applying.</p>
