4. Most top schools target 3-5 for regular mba.

I think it just has to do with how you manage time. I was working 80+ weeks in CDDs a lot but still had weekends and 30 mins in the mornjng in uber to do a couple questions or sth. I was always a good test taker. Had good SAT score and prepped for LSAT for a bit back in college. A lot of these standardized tests are similr in a sense that you can learn tricks to maximize probabiluty if choosing "right answer" even when you dont know whats the right one

Technically 2.5 but in terms of hours actually doing work, maybe like 120. I don’t know why or how but I literally did not have a job that required actual work until I joined a F50 at 30.
3 YOE, skipped the GMAT given I qualified for the waiver. Completed the program in 2 years.
4yoe

For those who went at 3 YOE, did you feel prepared/ready
Yea, the initial transition of mindset can be a lot. Focus on your ambitions and your path, leverage those around you.
