Hello,

Your work experience seems appropriate for EMBA programs, and your stats make you competitive for these top EMBA programs. I agree that they would be a better fit for your needs, in terms of classmate peers ad other factors.

On the other hand you are young for such programs. Your strategy therefore should be to highlight your scope of decision making responsibility, high level of impact, and responsibility for professional direct reports in your essays and application. I have worked with people who have your situation of being quite qualified for top EMBA programs but relatively young, and so I know from experience that it's possible to overcome that one issue with a compelling application.
