To be frank, this will be a tough proposition. Full-time MBA programs in the US are not keen on applicants who are 35 years old, give or take. The Executive MBA or part-time MBA programs are more geared for people with your professional experience. Even the average age for one-year MBA programs are in the high 20s.
Of course, you are by all means welcome to apply and won't be disqualified outright, but the hurdle is much higher than for applicants with similar credentials but on the younger side. If you have a legitimate and unique reason why you are much older and need a full-time MBA, you should make that loud and clear. That's your best shot.
Good luck,
Admissionado If not full time MBA , what are the other options you suggest for people with similar experience. IS this like a block that once you have spent 12 years in an industry , you can not change . OR probably jump from technical to management.
I personally fell after 12 years one feels a mid life crisis state and wants to explore options for him/her.
What are your suggestions for people who want to learn management skills and grow in their field.
