Ask Veritas Prep Admissions Consulting

Hi Sir,

I hope you could advise on an important matter.

What age would you ideally recommend an MBA aspirant as the desirable age for an MBA application?
Also how much does age play a role during our post MBA career placement? Do IB recruiters pay much attention to this.. as what i saw in some blogs..or do they look more into our talents and skills ( apart from our academic scores)?

Supposedly an aspirant were to take up the MBA application at the age of 30, would this have a negative impact during his post MBA career placement assuming that he reaches 32 years of age by the time his course gets over?

My question is how much does the recruiters look into age while employing suitable candidates?

In such cases what could be remedial strategies for the same?

Hope you could help me out.

Thanks

Age is not a huge factor, but what it does is to tilt the focus of both admissions committees and employers on achievement. If you are 30 but without much career acheivement, you will not impress either party. The older you are, the more they will scrutinize what you have done with your time. The average age of an MBA student will be in the 26-28 range, but there are people younger and older who get in. The key is impressing both the adcom and potential recruiters with your ability to make good things happen and have an impact.

Thank you Sir for your valuable advise:)

you know what they say about free advice, right? It's worth every penny you paid.
