Hi,

I am a Chartered Accountant from India, CPA & CISA from USA. I am working as Manager in World's largest applications software company in India. I have about 9 years of experience. My age is 31 years.

Just want to check whether I have a chance to get in MBA-Finance at HBS, Wharton, Stanford, kellogs. What score do I need to have in GMAT to get a chance in above business schools.

Thanks
SV

SV,

You should aim for 710 or 720 at a minimum. Your age will be a negative at Stanford and HBS.

Good luck!

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply. Just one more question, when you say that my age will be a negative at Stanford and HBS, only option left is wharton or kellog. Do you think now I should give a try at this age.


Regards
SV

SV,

I wouldn't discourage you from applying just because of your age. But once you get beyond about 32 years old you begin to fall out of most schools' middle 80% age range. If you're willing to look beyond Stanford, HBS, Wharton, and Kellogg the following schools have a higher middle 80% age range of 33 to 34 years old: Tuck, Duke, Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame, Georgetown, Babson, Western Ontario, Rochester, Vanderbilt, Queen's, and HEC Paris (among others). All good schools.

Good luck!
