Ultimately, the entire package matters (GMAT, work experience, application essays, interviews, recommendations, and undergraduate GPA). Since you are applying for business school, work experience is extremely important. Upon enrollment, the average amount of work experience for each student is approximately 4 years, which is fairly substantial.
You should also consider the brand of the school. Cox offers a challenging program, exceptional faculty, and excellent exposure to Dallas-based companies. You should be prepared to articulate (both in your essays and during your interview) how you will fit into this culture and community of the MBA program.
