MBA at the age of 30 [#permalink] New post   13 Feb 2019, 07:00
Hi,

I am 28 years now. Planning to apply to B schools next year. Seriously looking at B schools in Europe, Singapore and Canada. So by the time I finish my MbA, I will be 30 years old. When giving the average age, do schools give average age when the course commences or after the completion of the course.

Thanks,
Mohan V

Schools give average age when the course commences. They use the data in class profile from the commencement date of the course.
For example if you are age 28 when you join the school your age in the incoming class profile will be considered 28 not 30.

I hope this clears your doubt.

The age which school considers is age you're at when the course commences . Have you taken your GMAT yet? Goodluck for the process ahead

Hello mohanv,

Thanks for writing in.

Schools consider your age at the time when the course commences :-)

All the best!

Thank you for clarifications.

I am planning to give my GRE instead of GMAT as I feel more comfortable with GRE.

Gave GMAT in 2012: Q47/V27
GRE in 2015: Q161/V153
Trying for a score of 325 to 330 in GRE (Q168-170/V156-160) and am a bit confidend about getting this score then getting 700 on GMAT.

Thanks.
