My aim is to move higher up the career ladder in the next 3 to 5 years.
I do have some questions before getting enrolled and invest my time to GMAT preparation:
1. Can you suggest if MBA is a good fit for me?
2. Do I need to appear for the GMAT exam? If yes , then what score in GMAT is required?
3. What colleges/universities are best fit as per my age group, experience and ROI?
Your earlier response will be highly appreciated. Please let me know if any other information is required.
Thanks & Regards

There are couple of programs that are designed for professionals who are in their mid career or upper mid careers. The minimum work experience required in these programs is around 10 years. IMO, such programs will fit in better considering your work experience than traditional 2 year MBA programs.
Here are few programs that you may want to consider -
1) MIT Sloan Fellows
2) Standford MsX
2) USC IBear MBA
4) Foster GEMBA
5) LBS Sloan Fellows
6) Nanyang Fellows MBA
7) ISB PGP Pro (not full time program)
If you're not looking for a full time MBA program, then executive MBA from top colleges is definitely an add-on to your CV.

P.S.- IMO, age is just a number and its never too late to start a new beginning.
