How important is work experience for admission to M. Arch II?

litic

I'm currently in my fourth year of architecture school in India ( 5 year professional B. Arch degree). I will graduate in spring 2012 and want to apply for an M. Arch II in the USA for the fall 2012 session.

As I want to pursue the M. Arch right after my bachelors, I will not have substantial work experience barring the 18 week internship which I undertook last year.

How important is work experience when you apply for the M. Arch II as compared to the quality of your portfolio/ test scores/ recommendations ?

It isn't. Not at all. Spend your free time strengthening your portfolio, that is the most important thing.

Thank you! That clears up some of the confusion.
