Any reason I cannot get into a Top 15 program (with excellent scores) applying at age 31?

Career changer - trained to be in the clergy but have since gone the business route. An MBA makes great sense for me at this stage of life and would not have made as much sense earlier.

At 31, you are just fine for top 15 B-schools:)If you feel an MBA makes sense to you now and not earlier,go ahead and apply for it.
Good luck on your application!!!

You are not too old, although your are older than the average age of students in top 15 programs.
Are you considering US schools only? because I heard that European programs are more open to older candidates.

And no, you aren't too old!
