Is age a factor for Mba Admission boards

[mel3686]

i am a 27 year old from India.
i plan to apply to mba programs in the us next year (for class of 2017).
At time of application i will be 28 years of age with 6 years of work experience & will be 29 years old at the start of the program, if admitted.
Will my age be a negative factor for admissions at best ranked schools for operations management such as MIT Sloan, HBS , Wharton and others? - Please resolve this doubt

I plan to give the GMAT and TOEFL this august and can apply for round 2 this year itself (for class of 2016)
However i feel i need some more time to set up a solid application and add some more points to my application to convince the admissions board. Hence i have postponed my applications to next year.

i have 4.5 years of work ex as a product development engr. as of now i am now working on a startup of my own. What are my chances of getting into a top mba program?

Age can matter sometimes, but the difference between applying at 27 and applying at 28 is non-existent. So don't worry!!!!


As for evaluating you, I am missing a whole bunch of specific information to give you a precise evaluation, and for that I'd suggest you fill out our form (which asks all the right questions) for a free consultation:
