The top schools want students to have four years experience. They will occasionally accept students with one or two years of experience -- but only when there is something unusual about them (like working in a foreign country or in an unusual profession).
There are MBA programs that will accept lots of students with two years of experience. I am of the opinion that a full time MBA program is not worth it unless you go to a top program. The top 15 programs will allow students to get a large pay increase and give them access to jobs in new areas. Once you get past the top 20 or 30 programs, the benefits of going full time wane fairly quickly.
If you believe that you can get into a top school (e.g., 700 GMAT, 3.5 GPA, went to a good undergraduate school, etc) -- then it will probably pay to wait. You can try to apply now. One or two may let you in if you have outstanding qualifications. Others may tell you to reapply when you have more experience.
My opinions are biased -- but they are informed. I have an MBA from Duke's Fuqua School, a PhD in Finance from the Haas School at Berkeley and have taught at MIT's Sloan School and at Wharton.
