Is 29 too old to apply to a mim?

Question

Is 29 too old to apply for a mim if i don´t have sufficient work experience to apply to an MBA due to a late bachelor degree?

TheIvyLeagueEdge · Answer

ALL else EQUAL, 29 is too old for MiM,
But ALL else is NEVER equal.

What may be "normal and expected" from those in your shoes (to want to read and excel in your high school), got Malala Yousofzai a Nobel (at least that's what the world thinks; it is therefore important for you to bring out the Malala in you)

Hope that helps...

It's never too old to realise the dreams...The zeal in you will carry you through, and those hiring will see it, for sure.

You can really achieve pretty much anything if you put your mind to it and set it as a goal. If you want something more than anything else, you can get it. I’ve seen proof of it over and over.

Well, usually masters programs tend to cater to the recent graduates, There are programs that take all types and ages of candidates.

I would mention that you should keep an eye out for how you’re planning to recruit afterwards. are you willing to take a low level analyst position like the other 22-year-old graduates? Would you be hired for that kind of a position? getting in is one consideration, but recruiting is more serious since that is the payback and ROI for your degree.… I know many feel that being more experienced and older and more mature is a positive, but it actually isn’t. There’s a certain pattern of recruiting that employers do and all of their recruits are under 25 for specific positions. Someone in their 30s or 40s would be an outlier and wouldn’t fit the typical mold and they would really really really need a strong reason to break the pattern and take a risk. So not impossible but don’t expect your age queations to disappear any time soon 😇

try connecting with adcom and alumni of your target school to get better clarity ...
most importantly get a good gmat score , all these factors of age etc are not that relevant then if you have reasons why and why now..

andpad93 :

How much work experience do you currently have?

If you can accrue another year or two of full-time work experience (I assume you have some now), you are better off waiting and applying for the MBA. Yes, you would be on the older side of the curve, but 30/31 isn't too bad especially if you earned your bachelors degree later than normal.

The MBA at that point in your career, I believe, would be a lot more valuable even without presently being aware of your career ambitions.

29 is a bit too old, but although MiMs are popular among fresh graduates, they are also becoming more popular among mid-career professionals who want to take on management responsibilities in the future or switch to a more management oriented role. The structure of the typical MiM program is very similar to that of a typical MBA program and provides students with a general knowledge in management, making it easier and faster for graduates of the programs to find a management job right after graduation.
