Experience in admissions

Even Recent Graduates Can Show 'Experience'

Although this brief CollegeJournal article refers to  job hunting, the point is equally valid in admissions. You need to show relevant experience whether you are applying to business schoool, medical school, law school, or an academic graduate program.  If you don't have directly relevant experience, you need to draw upon those aspects of your past experience that are transferable to your desired goal.
