<p>SMU</a> - Cox : Full Time MBA - Admissions - Cox MBA Direct</p>
<p>Found this program quite interesting, Cox MBA Direct lets you apply for admission into their MBA program right after you receive your undergrad degree, no work experience required. </p>
<p>Do any other schools offer programs like this?</p>
<p>Although that sounds appealing, I would stay away from getting MBA without WE unless you get in an elite school.
The reason being, it’s very difficult to get a good job post-MBA if you do not have solid WE. Elite schools graduates can use leverage their school’s brand in getting a good offer, even then it’s more difficult than with WE.
Elite programs on paper all take undergraduates with no WE; however, the percentage is small, and those accepted are superstars.
Cox, although a good MBA school, does not have that kind of leverage. I think it’s a risky endeavor Cox is taking on to improve its rankings by attracting fresh graduate with high stats (GPA/GMAT).</p>
