Hi there everyone!
I'm 34 years of age, soon to be 35 come September!. I am currently consulting as a Luxury & Special Events Consultant.
With total work experience spanning 15 years, I have spent the past 12 years in the events industry in India. Having worked on both the agency as well as brand side, my collective experiences across event and brand marketing along with producing events luxury and experiential events has been an enriching experience. My last permanent role and as part of a large marketing team was with a publishing company as their Head-Events.
Moving forward, I have decided to up the ante and expand my skill set. After a lot of research I decided to pursue an MBA. There is so many conflicting opinions though, on a full time one year MBA or an executive mba and I am thoroughly confused! I ideally would prefer a one year full time. A elective in luxury brand management/marketing will be a plus.
Any thoughts on what schools may work best for this and of course given that I'm a much older candidate?
Thanks in advance,
Neha

Hi Neha
- Generally, an Executive MBA is more useful in moving up within your company/industry, and a full-time MBA is more useful in switching functions/moving to more business-facing roles within your company or industry.
- As you wish to stay in your own industry, an Executive MBA could very well be useful. Besides, at your level of experience, most full-time MBA programs may consider you too experienced for their classes. Exceptions are the Sloan Fellows MBA programs (MIT Sloan, LBS, and Stanford MSx) that look at mid-career applicants.
You might want to go through this link and this link to get more insight on these topics.
Hope this helps. Feel free to come back with more queries as needed.

While you will see different view, I advise to take your chance but with good planning. You need to show to adcom clear vision that they expect from someone in your age. Your vision should fit with what the school offers. You can pursue 1 Year MBA too either in Europe or in the US (CBS -J term, Cornell, Kellogg, Emory....others in lower ranking)
P.S. take a look into Vanderbilt class profile. You will find someone with 47 years old. I confirmed the info with current school in Vandy. He told me that they have some older ages but 47 was the most strange
