Schools for younger applicants?

by hmgp22 » Thu Dec 06, 2012 8:20 pm
By the time I plan to apply for schools, I will be 24 with 2.5 years of "work" experience (I'm an entrepreneur). I graduated from college 2 quarters early and cofounded a company.

Will I be at a disadvantage for most business schools because of my age?

What schools besides Stanford and Harvard might be a good fit for my background?

Thanks.

I had a pretty similar background and ended up at Duke. Best thing to do is to look at the average age of admitted students from the class profile. That will give you a good idea.
