Yes, you should have GMAT, GRE or EA score before applying.
There is no any upper or lower age limit, but definitely, there is a requirement of minimum 8 years of work experience which you already have.
From your post it seems you haven't explored the program much, I would advise you to go through MSx program page & also attend few online webinars before you even dig deep into the application process so that you are able to know if the program is a right fit for you.
Also as you already have an MBA degree, you need to explain in your application why you need to have another similar degree and why now, you must also be able to explain how is MSx going to help you accomplish your future goals & how is it aligned to your career aspirations etc.

Your next step should be to go through the details of the program on their website & attend any upcoming "MSx Admissions Event", the next online admission webinars are on 5-Oct-21 and then on 7-Oct-21.

Hello everyone;
I'm planning to apply for this program on its second round!
I should take care of my GMAT exam first!
I have about 8years of local entrepreneurial experiences in Iran's startup ecosystem; 6 years as a founder and 2 years as a product designer and startup founders' mentor!
I hold a traditional MBA in strategy which did not seem to be useful in my job career as an entrepreneur.
However, I'm 28 which is 4years younger than average class of 2021.

Does anyone have any advices for me?
What are the most important factors for admissions?
How do they evaluate your profile? Does age matter or its only about years of experience so that they can manage to enjoy a relatively more matured Msx's classroom comparing to that of MBA?

Thank you for sharing your information; This GMAT thing sucks :)) I was living a happy life until I figured out I should take some extra exams before applying for MBA's :)
I have read their website but, as I'm not very familiar with the admission processes, I was wondering if there is anything about the program that I have missed or that is not represented on the program's web page. I should also thank you for the webinars, I signed up for them both.
Do you know if anyone from this GMATclub has got admitted to Msx before?
Sorry if my questions are so NOOBie :)) By the way, I am a newbie here.

Hi Folks. Any idea when the Adcom will respond back to applicants who applied for both the MBA and the MSX programs? Are the Adcoms different for both the programs?

Interview invites will be sent out from Oct 20. It was part of the email sent by the Adcom in Oct 1.
The adcoms are separate for MBA ans MSx.

Hi All,

Do you have any insight into the difference between these two Stanford questions. Both questions are mandatory essays.

Essay B:
Why Stanford MSx, and why now? Please describe your aspirations and how your Stanford MSx experience will help you realize them. Why is this the right time for you to pursue your master’s degree at Stanford GSB?

The Short Answer -- to be typed directly into the application.

Please tell us about what you aspire to do in your career. Because the Stanford MSx program is for mid-career managers, it is valuable to have clear career goals. How will the Stanford MSx Program, combined with your experience, education or background, help you achieve your career goals? Be specific. * (1200 characters remaining)

Hello all R1 applicants,

Hope you are taking some time off today to get some rest, now that you successfully submitted the application.
The application process was a soul searching experience which I have benefited immensely from.

The post-submission auto email indicates that one can expect to hear in a week's about the next steps. Any idea what this next step would be? They reach out for additional information etc. or they send out the interview invitations?

Thanks,
Amit
