I wonder as well if it's not more valuable for somebody who's been in business for at least a few years and has some context to put the lessons into.

I assume it is still the case that most of the top programs strongly favor candidates with full-time work experience. (Both because they have more context and can share those experiences and context.)

I've often wondered this too. how can one be a master at something they have never actually done? and running a small online or mom and pop shop doesn't really count in most cases. MBA right after a bachelors seems silly to me.
