Don't think 32 is old enough an age not to pursue an MBA. With an objective in mind, no age restrictions apply as far as pursuing the dreams is concerned.

Data about the class profile possibly on the university website may provide some helpful insight.

Hi Sourav04,

I agree that 32 years old is not too old to pursue an MBA. As long as you are a solid candidate and have a compelling story, there is no reason why you can't attend a great program.

Hi. I think a similar post of us posted a few days ago about someone who is 33 or 34.

I would say at that stage of your career, your work experience, and you were professional achievements, would be more important, and have a greater weight to determine your admission.

There is obviously a difference between the US business schools, European, and Indian and Asian. The US business schools struggle what to do with people with extensive work experience. At the same time, European and some of the Asian schools seem to be pretty open.

The reason US business calls struggle with older candidates is that the recruiting is optimized for a certain experience group. Most companies look to hire people with about six years of work experience to join in their mid management team. Getting someone with 10 years or more, they would not fit into the ideal candidate profile. Extra work experience is actually not helpful. As the result, more experienced candidates, have to resort to off-campus recruiting, and have to recruit on their own, often missing out on a lot of the value provided by the on-campus opportunities.

Here is a post to set your expectations a bit

I hope not. If so I'm way too old, 42 and in the middle of a pt program. It's a lot of work and a big adjustment to going back to school. Doing well on the GMAT was big for me partly as a confidence boost that it was feasible. While not the majority, a sizable chunk of people are in their 30's and 40's. I only know one student in their 50's. Some roles look for younger people coming out of an MBA. But don't dwell on that. You are responsible for charting your own path and finding the doors that DO open.
