Recommendation for Older Applicant

Hi Paul,

I have been working as Derivatives Trader for large banks and most recently independently. I have known for some time that trading was not a permanent career for me. I have saved up enough now to be financially secure and want to pursue my "Dream Career" which lies under the operations mgmt/supply chain umbrella. I have done extensive research (including two professionally administered aptitude tests) and have planned on a switch for several years. I did not know that age was such an important factor until recently. I am currently 36. I am very focused on the position/companies I will target. Please give me your view on the schools I have chosen if I use a professional admissions consultant.

I want to avoid and EMBA because I will be making a complete career switch.

Here is my profile:

Undergrad - NYU/Stern Magna Cum Laude - Economics with honors/Finance

I have completed some postgraduate work in Calc (1-3) and 1 MBA level stats course.

GMAT completed today 1st try 720 w/ 45Q/44V

Here are my proposed choices:

Tepper, Duke, Virginia, UNC, Penn State, Arizona State, Purdue and Indiana University.

If you have any recommendations for additional schools I have overlooked, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Brian
