Is there an age cut off for INSEAD? Im 34 years with 7+ years of experience.

If you have an interesting profile and story, 34 is still doable. We have several colleagues in that range as far as I know

There's no age limit for education. As long as you have a good story, schools will be unwise to reject a candidate on any grounds. Having said that, you might want to evaluate your own fit and goals. There are Exec programs out there as well for more experienced people.

Hi Faith09 , just to build on what the others have said, INSEAD always stresses that quality is more important than length. So, there is no age cut-off per se. That being said, in my experience, 35-36 at the time the program starts seems to be usually the limit of the class. You can take a look at the INSEAD MBA'22D Class Profile here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/insead-mba-2 ... 79477.html You'll see that, while in terms of age you'd be outside the range, in terms of years of work experience you could still be within the range. I guess the mismatch between your age and number of years of work experience is due to a Master's degree of some kind or Ph.D.? Anyway, in cases like yours, the key is to convince the AdCom that: a. This is the right time for you to get an MBA b. You have achieved more (career-wise) than the average 27-28-29-year-old applicant c. An EMBA does not suit your career aspirations Luckily, the INSEAD app is quite comprehensive (with 7 required essays and 2 optional), so there is plenty of room to tell your story and accomplish the above. Otherwise, you'll probably be encouraged to apply to the Executive MBA program (GEMBA) instead. I hope this helps. Warm regards Alex
