Hi,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think an EMBA will be the best option for you. May I ask why you don't like EMBA programs? The mean and median ages for the schools you've listed are:

Wharton - Median = 27, Mean = 28
Columbia - 28, 28
... you get the idea.

Thanks so much for your inputs! I understand my age is a huge disadvantage. I also know EMBA is not for me. So still want to try. Just no idea what the possibility of admission would be.
