Hi,

No, there is no certain age limit to apply for the HEC Paris program. The average age is 29. Also your work experience for applying to the program is great. The ideal person applying needs to have 2-10 years of professional working experience. The average class of 2020 is 6 years.

All the best for your applications. Hope this helps you!

Thanks for the response !

Hello Faith09,

Hope this finds you well.

You might be a bit above the average age of the applicant pool but your years of work experience are perfect. So, you must go ahead and apply.

All the best!

Faith09:

One more opinion - you are in good shape here. You can't change your age, obviously, so don't fixate on it. Instead, focus on why your tenure/work experience can be an added benefit to your classmates and how the MBA is the right fit at this time. Also, when you write your post-MBA goals, make sure they are appropriate for someone at your age and not someone on the younger side.

Also, if there's a reason for the gap in your age and work experience (advanced degrees, military service, time off, etc.) you should explain that if it's not obvious.

Good luck!
