Would you characterize Kellogg as "older applicant friendly" relative to other top 5 programs, particularly HBS and Stanford? Please share your firm's experience in regards to its success rate in assisting older applicants gain admission to Kellogg.

Dear comebackkid,

Most schools are open to older candidates for the full-time program. However, the schools will want to feel confident that program is the best fit for the applicant. So, it will be important for you to explicitly address why a full-time program versus an executive/part-time program. As for Stacy Blackman Consulting, you will need to funnel your firm-specific questions through our website. We offer a free consultation, if you are interested, where we can discuss your background and business school aspirations in greater detail.

Good luck,
Lisa
