What's the next step...?

<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>Some advice needed here please. </p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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? </p>

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

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.</p>
