I'm a recent graduate with 10 months of work experience in a consulting company. I want to quit my job and work in my family business in the manufacturing sector. I want to know how the top MBA colleges look at family business as work experience? Will that reduce my chances of getting into an MBA school?

Someone pls help

If you look yourself in your family business long time, what drives you towards an MBA?

Also the scale of impact is an important factor.

I'd like to meet and network with like-minded people and create future beneficial business synergies with them. Talking of the scale of impact, my family business is in the manufacturing sector and there's a good scope to scale the business by 40% if I take active part in it and expand the business.
