There is a deferred mba bowl. MBA programs have 2+2 or early admit programs that college students apply to and then defer 2-4 years before attending.

Do you have any full time work experience to include in your application?

No legit mba program will accept you with less then 2 (and is usually 3-4) years of work experience.

7 years of Management experience. 3-4 Years in Politics back home.

Besides the fact you should wait several years. You likely wouldn’t get into a top program (not counting the delayed programs) which is where the main benefits of an MBA come from

Should have written it in OP. Have 7 YOE in Ops Management.

If I’m understanding correctly, you worked for several years and then went back to school to complete your bachelors degree? Is your degree online? Was your work experience in professional roles?

Yes my degree is online.

Have 7-8 YOE management experience in Operations. That includes big companies/startups. Have led big teams , worked on important projects ( expansion into new cities etc)

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

I wanted to use this to strengthen my app to BCG as an experienced hire and possibly for an MBA in the future.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
