Hi i have been using GMATCLUB since quite some time and this is the 1st time i have started a thread, actually
my question is really age is just a number or people who are above 30 face real issue after MBA in getting job?
i am an indian applicant working with an nationalised bank since 2013 as manager.
i have been preparing for GMAT since quite some time now and my best attempt remain at dismal 640 i will be turning 29 by this year end which means even if i apply for MBA this year i will be in my 30's by the time i complete my MBA.
recently i have seen a trend(kindly correct me if i am wrong) that ISB and many other US B-schools are more open towards younger candidates which makes me feel a bit nervous because certainly neither my age nor my score are gonna switch sides.
i feel time is running out for me and with 640 i wont get the kind of B-school i want, because leaving a govt. job to do something is still a big stigma in indian society esp for a married man like me
kindly guide me

shubham2312 I'll turn 31 this August. US b Schools, yes- if I look at their class profile it's difficult for me to crack. But let's look at European B Schools and ISB where people go to accelerate their career not change industry/function (like IT to Investment Banking types). Having said that one can also shift their industry/function post ISB but that depends on a lot of parameters. I think we should be thinking more on why MBA and why now?
