Is age a factor for Mba Admissions

i am a 27 year old from India.
i plan to apply to mba programs in the us next year (for class of 2017).
At time of application i will be 28 years of age with 6 years of work experience & will be 29 years old at the start of the program, if admitted.
Will my age be a negative factor for admissions at best ranked schools for operations management such as MIT Sloan, HBS , Wharton and others? - Please resolve this doubt

I plan to give the GMAT and TOEFL this august and can apply for round 2 this year itself (for class of 2016)
However i feel i need some more time to set up a solid application and add some more points to my application to convince the admissions board. Hence i have postponed my applications to next year.

i have 4.5 years of work ex as a product development engr. as of now i am now working on a startup of my own. What are my chances of getting into a top mba program?

I have read your book, The MBA application roadmap. I am structuring my application as per your advice in the book.

Graduate schools will consider not only your GMAT score, but also your undergraduate GPA, the quality of your recommendations, etc. When I attended a two year Babson College MBA program, I found that there was a diverse mix of students. This is a large part of what made the experience so beneficial.
