Most MBA programs expect candidates to have at least 2–3 years of professional work experience.

Globally, only about 1% of business schools have triple accreditation.

Triple accreditation means the school is accredited by the three major international accreditation bodies:  
-  AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business – U.S.)
-  AMBA (Association of MBAs – U.K.)
-  EQUIS (EFMD Quality Improvement System – Europe)

There are approximately 120-140 triple-accredited business schools worldwide out of over 13,000 institutions offering business programs.

This status is commonly referred to as the "Triple Crown" accreditation and is a strong indicator of a business school’s quality and global standing..

It depends on the university and program.

Some programs accept either the GMAT or GRE, while others waive the requirement based on work experience or undergraduate performance.
