Many people believe that once they hit 30, a Top MBA is an unrealistic or impractical goal. While some top business schools may be a bit more selective when it comes to age, or have definite age bias and try to encourage 30+ candidates to pursue a part-time or executive option, this concern tends to be blown out of proportion. It’s true that you are never too old for more education, but there are several things to consider when preparing an MBA application for senior candidates. Consider how much work experience you have had thus far. Have there been any noteworthy achievements that will serve as a foundation for your future career? Schools like Harvard, Stanford, Wharton or Booth look for applicants who stand out in their fields and have proven track records of excellence. As an applicant over 30 years old, you likely have an impressive background that will support you as a candidate.
If you feel that top-10 full-time MBA programs are not right for you at this point, there are several other options to consider. Part time and Full time EMBA programs and Global EMBA programs are more suitable for older and more experienced professionals.

For more tips for older applicants, and for a suggested list of full time programs that are specifically designed for senior, executives and older candidates, please visit: https://www.aringo.com/mba-over-30/
