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.

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

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?
