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 ?

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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
