Here are the basics:

1. 38 years old
2. GMAT - 710 – 92% (47 on quantitative (76%), 41 on Verbal (92%), and 6 on essays (91%))
3. GPA 3.7 (Undergraduate degree in Literature from a top 10 National Liberal Arts College) Transferred in after two years of community college (3.92 GPA) because I had to work fulltime while studding.
4. 3 years of military service in Israel
5. 10 Years of experience as a manager in commercial real estate brokerage – large firm.
6. Currently doing the same in a small boutique firm.

The problem is my age and background is not ideal. Do you think they will take an older candidate from a real estate sales/management background?

Thanks,
Mike

Real estate management is totally okay, even good, as is military experience. It's a great place for leadership. The age however is an issue. Most schools regular MBA programs are gonna be wary of taking someone your age, just as much for reasons of fit (Imagine yourself in a class of 900 where the average age is 26), as for of what you should have already done. This is more true for top schools than other schools. That having been said, if you are interested in part-time programs or EMBAs then these can fit you MUCH better and you will likely have far better chances there.
