Questions for experts:
- - Based on the profile, is the age a real disadvantage for a FT MBA?
- In what programs (top 10 US), do I stand a good chance? (Financing not a constraint)
- I guess EMBA is not an option for me (since my company very rarely sponsors for EMBA and since most of the EMBA programs requires several Fridays off in addition to weekends
