I am 36 yrs electrical engineer aiming for admission in fall 2018. So by the time i graduate from whichever b school i get into i would b around 40.i am working in a state government power company in north india for past 13 years and that way by fall 2018 i would have around 14 years work experience. I aim to get into a Canadian b school but i am not sure about the age factor....hope 2 get help from this forum[WHITE SMILING FACE]

I do think for top programs that there is a middle band of age- between 25-31 that is probably the ideal age but definitely there are always a few on either side of the bell curve. So it it impossible? No? Is it a positive? not necessarily! But if you can counter with your strong work experience and hopefully strong GMAT you may still rise to the top. I think that for Canadian B schools there may be less rigidity here- so I think it is worth doing your research and asking questions. The schools mentioned above all good - I have clients who were very impressed with Schulich and Rotman during their application process. We have some excellent counselors that can help you turn your advanced age into a positive and who also have experience with Canadian B schools. Here is an article we wrote about older MBA candidates: https://stratusadmissionscounseling.com ... tive-mbas/
