Without a lot of context, I would say that you should look into Owen, Rice, Notre Dame, and Olin... further down the list is Warrington, which has traditionally been a full ride for all students

There area executive programmes that require minimum 5 years of work experience. The average age of the batch is around 31 years. It is not late Sir.

Interesting profile - it can go 1 of two ways - I do think that schools will count your years during the article ship as work experience, if that is the reason for only 5 years of experience by age 32.

MBA programs are typically accepting candidates by years of work experience, not age. However, some schools higher up like M7/T10 are a bit more stringent in wanting to keep their average age 25-27.

So you can apply to traditional 2 year programs, but you may have better luck applying to senior MBA programs, like the Foster Global EMBA, USC IBEAR... maybe Stanford MSx .... or the 1 year programs at Kellogg, CBS, Emory..

We don’t work with these programs, as we typically focus on US/EU/UK programs, so I cannot answer these questions. Maybe find a recent grad to chat with.

Yes! This isn’t an application for a job, so there is no worry that you may be "moonlighting" for another company. It is great to show you can balance both jobs and excel (hopefully that is the case) and maybe have experience in a different sector or function.

This can be a case-by-case situation, but generally any work gap over 3 months should be shared. So if the work was less than 3 months, then maybe you can share something else you were doing during this time.
