Hi Brian,

Thanks. What is an older candidate. Is the cut off usually at 30 or 31?

Regards.

Thanks Cindy. How about Part-time MBA programs from a top program like Haas etc. Are they helpful to break into management consulting from engineering? Or would a full-time MBA in a top 30 school that is receptive to older applicants or an European FT MBA help more for me?

Thanks again.
