Is 30 too old for an MBA?

Dear 30+ somethings,

A common question that comes up from our clients at Fortuna Admissions is 'Are my chances of being admitted to a top business school lower because I'm over the age of 30?'.

My colleagues Judith and Caroline just published this great article on "Getting into Business School when you're 30+' in Poets and Quants.

If you are challenged by the question if 30 is too old, this might provide you with further insight.

It is on the older side no question and might be better to start looking at executive type programs.
