Which schools for younger candidates?

by Cheese12 » Sun Nov 28, 2010 8:05 pm
I need help to find out what are the right schools for me to apply to as a younger candidate ?
Although i have the required number of work experience (3 years), my age is only 22 as I had graduated from university at a very young age and now have international work experience in a good multinational company, good acads and few extra curricular activities . However, I am not sure whether B-schools will look at my age as an advantage or disadvantage. Which schools tend to appreciate younger candidates more?
I have talked to some universities in the UK and they some seem to see my young age as a disadvantage... I am really disappointed and not sure where to apply.


Please advice.

Thanks!

Hi Cheese12,

Harvard and Stanford are just two of several top MBA programs that are welcoming to younger applicants.

Here's an MBAPodcaster episode that will be helpful to you: https://www.mbapodcaster.com/MBA_MoreInf ... Episode=34

Furthermore, you can visit my website https://theartofapplying.com and download the recording of my free webinar (submit your name and email address in the yellow box on the right side of the page) where I tell my story of being accepted to Harvard Business School when I was 22.

Good luck and stay encouraged!
