Considering Fall 2027 MBA | Will I have enough work experience to show AdComs?

Admissions

Hi everyone. I'm thinking about applying to M7 later this year (start in Fall 2027). I am not super familiar with how AdComs view # of years of work experience and whether an advanced degree counts in that, so looking for any advice really. Stats:

25M
Background: Biochemical Engineer

Education: BS from a UC (Graduated 2023, 3.7 GPA) + MS from an Ivy (Graduated 2024, 3.6 GPA)
Experience: Work as a senior process engineer at a large pharmaceutical company. At the time of applications (say R1 September 2026) I will have >2 years at this company.

I want to eventually get into Life Sciences Strategy Consulting or Biopharma Commercial Strategy. Was thinking of switching into consulting right now and interviewed at some firms, but realized I would be starting off at a significantly junior level and it may be better to get my MBA first and then enter at a more senior level. Do I have enough work experience to have a shot at M7??
