Default Am I Too Old?

I am what's called a "non-traditionally aged" applicant for business school, but I think I've got some good qualities for an applicant. I just took my GMAT and I did WELL... I have worked in finance for a *while* and done well for myself... I went to a good college (I think people still like Brown, right?)... but will my age get in the way of being accepted into more competitive MBA programs? I'm really aiming high!

Just based on my own research into this sensitive topic, I think that for full-time MBA programs at the top schools, there is an expectation that you'll be younger than 40. If you're older than 40, they assume that you're a big shot and should go for an Executive MBA. But who knows? Good luck!

Hey there is no limit as well as no combination with study to age..
I think every one can study, whatever them age.. Knowledge never
depends on age..

the executive MBA is probably your best bet. you'll also be in a class with more experienced
students and benefit more/have more in common professionally
