What is the issue? It sounds like you are a great candidate from an experience standpoint. While that's far from the entire picture, an Executive MBA at age 40 is more than appropriate.

Why are your colleagues discouraging you?

Hi

Iam currently working in psu.

I wanted to do executive mba from iim/isb and have been planning to write GMAT this year

The concern that i want to discuss is iam 40 years old and have 14 years of extensive experience in various domains

I discussed my desire with my colleagues and friends and they somehow discouraged me


I want you all to share your kind insights for me to decide further

Warm regards

One of you

Hello kamalsharmam21,

Thanks for writing in.

An Executive MBA is designed for mid to late-career professionals; hence, we feel you are completely suited for it. It is true that your experience will be on the higher side for most of these programs; however, with a fine GMAT score and a story that demonstrates your intent for an MBA at this point in your career, we feel you will have a good chance.

To cut a long story short, we would encourage you to pursue your MBA dream.

All the best!
