First, http://www.MBAvolunteers.org/ provides essay feedback and donates proceeds to charity. Second, http://www.AppMentor.com is a website where you can choose a student ...


Over here at Wharton, I definitely have some classmates in their upper 30s. As the comment above stated, you want to be sure to have a focussed story, as this is the key component of every application.

One other thing to keep in mind: do you think you could pull up your GMAT score if you worked hard studying for a few months? If you're at 650+ right now, you might be a few hard months of studying away from a 700. If you can hit the 700 mark, you'll be in a better position to try to describe your p...
