I am an IT professional - 37 years of age . Wanted to know the opinion of the members here that is it too late to do an MBA .
Highlights of my profile :
I did my BTech from a tier 3 college in India with a poor 6. 8 GPA ( no excuses - just didn't study )
Started my own company got some angel funding - but then had to move out for a regular 9 - 5 job ( financial constraints) after a stint of 2 years . Convinced 2 of my friends to join the company
Single handedly took the revenue of the company to - 1/2 million $ runrate ( but was a loss making entity)
Worked for top startups in India - for 8 out of 10 years of professional career as software engineer / architect . Have experience in building products from scratch
Spent one year trying to build an ecommerce aggregator product - but this was a failure too
Also worked in Cisco for a couple of years as an architect / sr developer
GMAT score - 710
Currently working as an Architect in a small startup ( after failed ventures)
Questions:
Is it too late to do a MBA now ?
Is my profile suitable for any particular kind of schools ?
Is it tool late ( profile evaluation)

Hey there - a full time MBA might be a bit out of reach - have you considered an EMBA or even a PT program friendly to older applicants?

Though true in general, but not necessarily Gmat4tanu.
It really depends on your expectations from the course and whether you are realistic about it. That is important to convince both the adcoms, but more importantly, your future recruiters.
You will find the links here and here useful for starters. Finally, if you see the IIM-A page here, you would realize that it is NOT unheard of folks in your age bracket to go for those courses.
So theoretically speaking, without saying whether it is right for you or not, the IIM one year courses would fall in the range for an age perspective.
Cheers,
