Hi JWMIT123,

Your profile is quite unique. Thus, your chance to get into top Business schools is not so dim.

Moreover, I think that age and GMAT essay are not disadvantages. Adcoms seldom care about GMAT AWA score as long as your admission essay is well writen. And age? "It's never too late to learn"

The turning points for your application, in my opinion, are you answers to adcom of questions: "Why do you want to get an MBA?" and "Why Harvard, or Wharton?".

NONPROFIT background is also a strong point; and if you know how to ultilize it, you'll be paid off.

Good luck with your application.
