I am a 31 year old woman. Can I still apply for a Full-time or has the opportunity closed? I have 8 years of experience as an engineer. I am a programmer. I am an Indian Citizen. My undergrad is from Princeton University in Computer Science and Engineering with a very low GPA of 2.85/4.0. I am preparing for my GMAT now. Considering I have been out of school for so long, getting back to studying has been a bit difficult. I hope to crack a 700+ on the test. I do not have any management experience as I stayed on the technical side of projects. I do have vast technical lead and customer experience that may compensate for the lack of management experience.
I have heard of Exec MBAs and Part-Time MBAs as well. But, I would like to break into consulting post MBA since salaries in tech aren't as high post-MBA in roles such as product management, corporate development etc (Is this true??). In reality, what are my odds at my age?
Would you recommend an exec/PT MBA? Or should I shoot for a FT MBA first?
