Hi,

Thanks for your post. You are a bit above the average in terms of age and experience of those at top full time US programs. Are you looking for advice on EMBA programs? It doesn't look like you are necessarily looking to change your career, thus an EMBA might be the best fit for you. I would suggest looking into programs that are near you geographically speaking. There are great programs on both coasts in the US such as Wharton (and Wharton West)and Haas.

Best,

Stacey
