Keen to know how many people in their 30s have been directed to apply to the EMBA instead.
In their website it mentions that people who have >10 yrs work experience will be more suited to the EMBA program but so far I have seen 2 people here who have been directed to apply to the EMBA program upon MBA application (I think one of them is 35 yrs old and has 9 yrs work experience?)
This is quite contradictory and scary as I can imagine someone prepping for their applications (GMAT, essays etc.) for a long time, and upon submission only to be told to go for a another program instead.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
There are tons of people in 30s in INSEAD MBA class. I myself am 31 and have been admitted for the January 2022 MBA batch. It mostly depends on what kind of experience/overall profile do you have and what can you add to the classroom. Make yourself standout as much as possible and you should be fine.

I guess you can think about it as a soft ding. On one hand, another program may have rejected that applicant but in this case basically saying this applicant is rejected from the full-time program but they would be a fit for the executive program… Insead is a very competitive program…
and 10+ years of experience is tricky. Either you demonstrate a lot of career mobility and upward movement to the point that you are in the upper management or your trajectory looks a bit shallow. This is especially tricky for people in fields that don’t lend them selves to steep trajectories such as academia or military service or government work.

Thanks bb for clarifying
I guess I am just thinking that it would have been MUCH CLEARER if the admissions committee explains the reason for rejection instead of a vague response to head towards the EMBA\
Does this imply that the EMBA does not have as stringent admission requirements as the MBA?
Thanks altairahmad- do you see many mid to late 30s (=>35 yrs) in your cohort currently? I’m still guessing that there are prolly more early 30s
