To old for a top MBA program?

by Scott1969 » Wed Dec 23, 2009 11:30 am
I will be 42 when I graduate university with honors. My goal to attend a top B-School such as Harvard, London School of Business, etc. Am I too old? Recently I have been reading the student statics and no one seems to be over the age of 38?

You are older than the typical full time MBA student. However, you could still be considered if you have strong work experience and a clear reason for pursuing an MBA at this point in your career. You should also look into EMBA programs which tend to cater to older, more experienced candidates.
