Tyler,
I can say with a certainty that the range for UCLA Anderson is incorrect.
https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/x27471.xmlAnd as far as the question of whether age 30+ will affect your chances, I am confident that it WILL affect your chances but in a much more subtle way.
Business schools try to pick candidates that will be successful academically as well as professionally.
If you are an older candidate, how can the school be sure that you can handle the academic load given that you have been out of school for such a long time? Furthermore, the school will also ask the question, "has this candidate been stagnant in his current career and want to use MBA as a springboard?" Ironically, business schools look for candidate who will be just as successful with an MBA as without an MBA.
As an older candidate, you really need to do well on your GMAT and paint a clear picture of what you want to do after your MBA to mitigate your employment risk after graduation.
Good luck.

I was shocked too. I double checked to see if you might be right. The pages
simply say "Age Range of Students." Of course, I have no access to the source data and cannot vouch for its accuracy; however, The Economist is a reputable sources.
Here is a link to one of the pages so you can check it out for yourself:
