Graduate school/teaching = WE for NU?

I think the title says it all, but, to what extent is graduate school/teaching while in graduate school considered solid WE for an NU app?

Thanks for any input.

Also, I'm sure this topic has come up before, so if anyone could direct me to older threads if they feel the topic has been exhausted...

I was admitted last year and this was part of my WE, not all of it, but a substantial portion.

Bump... just looking for some more input... anyone apply to NU straight from graduate school (which they went to straight from undergrad)?

NU only counts full-time post-graduate WE, so TA doesn't count.

I certainly hope it counts for MBA school (if I decide to go that route).

Right on the app: How many years of full-time work experience (excluding summer employment/internships) will you have at entrance?

People finding out that top MBA programs want impressive business-related WE is a part of why too many people fall back on LS
