Hello, have heard a few things about age being a determining factor for admissions. Essentially, that anyone over 30 has a lower chance of being admitted. Now, I understand that the data shows most mba grads in the m7 have an age range of 24-28, but is there a “ding” for being over 30?

really depends on your experience and background - career growth/path, did you get a masters degree... are you only considering M7?

I have received an admit a couple of good schools, but i’m in a bit dilemma what should i choose- mcdonough( no scholarship ) or WashU Olin ( 80K ). So to brief it up I need to spend an extra 80k ( including the Living expense and tuition fees ) to attend Mcdonough. I am a career switcher who is interested to get into Management consulting or strategy consulting and also an International candidate. Any help will be good. Thanks.

Making a jump to IB is a big move from sw engineer - are you in the finance industry? With limited work experience and pitching move to IB, I would say it is a slim chance. I’d recommend either pitching moving to product or taking more time to gain experience and move into finance before pitching IB

Hi maverick_cs 15 years of WE puts you in the category of EMBA or Mid-Career full-time MBA like Stanford MSx, MIT Sloan Fellows, USC IBEAR or Foster GEMBA.

Hi 99percentile - these programs offer a wide range of career options, almost like a determine your-own path. With the network of Columbia, you will have lots of connections. What drew you to apply to the program? You can also ask the admiss team for more information/data.

Yes - MFin will provide strong academics and career outcomes that will be either a step toward IB or directly to IB

with 14 years of experience, you can opt for the Executive Assessment, getting above 155. If you decide to go the GMAT route, still aim for 700+

Can you please suggest me which route to follow-either work for 3 years as work experience and do MBA or pursue MFin for next year intake with gmat around 740?

If IB is the direction you want to go, then MSFin will get you there much faster. If you prefer general finance, then MBA is an option.
