I worked with two applicants last year who were over 35 and were admitted to T25 two-year mba programs.

What schools accepted them?

is age of 35(as of today ) appropriate for a full time MBA in usa
do B schools accept candidate of this age bracket can anyone throw a light on this it will be really helpful
thanks

Rohan_12345 - it'd be difficult to answer your question without knowing further details of your profile e.g. work-ex, scores, post-MBA goals, motivations etc. While age is one factor, all these aspects help determine the overall fit. There are candidates around your age in the top US B-schools. European schools are more open to experienced candidates though.

Another crucial aspect is to have a strong narrative on 'why MBA' and 'why now', as schools would like to see how adaptable and "learnable" you are around classmates younger than you.

For reference, the average age and work-ex at top B-schools can be found here
