GMAT - 730/5.5/Verbal-39/Quant-50 (This was my 3rd attempt. Prior Scores were 620 and 660)
Academics - Indian percentage system; Does not follow US GPA. Excellent record. Always been in top 10% of class. Completed graduation with Honors.
Degree - Electrical Engineering
Extra Curricular- not impressive
Work Ex - 10 Years, First 6 Years in IT Consulting. For last 4 years, working with a large US insurance company in IT support as a Project Manager. Working in US for more than 6 years.
Age - 32
MBA Aspirations - Secured admission in India's Top most MBA program. Want to go for a top tier school in US.
Question - I want to move on to business consulting and to secure this kind of profile, I want to leverage my experience as an IT consultant( 6+ years) and my excellent insurance industry knowledge.
1) Given that most of the top tier US schools have an average age of 27-28 years for their MBA programs; does it make sense at this stage in life to go for a 2 year MBA program?
2) Also, Do I stand a chance for top-10 MBA programs?
3) Do people in my age group stand equal chance in the palcements?

Being 32 does not mean you can't apply and have good hopes of getting in. but it CAN make things harder So you have to make sure of two things: 1. That everything else is in order, including GMAt, leadership etc. 2. That you explicitly address why it is so important that you do the GMAT now even at this relatively late stage in your professional life, SHOWING the Adcom how EXACTLY this will help you with your proposed goals.
A few of the Top 10 schools (esp Harvard and Stanford) don't take too well to relatively older students, many of the others seem to be more open about the question, as are Euro programs.
