Hello!

I will be graduating from university when I will 24/25 years old.

It's going to be at the University of Sydney, my bachelor's degree is commerce.

My idea is to do an MFE in Oxford.
I know the average age of the class is 22 y/o

Do you think that age is an impediment?

Thanks a lot

­Hi Tfra123,

Age is generally not a significant barrier to MFE programs. While the average age might be around 22, many programs value diverse backgrounds and experiences. Your undergraduate degree in commerce provides a solid foundation, and your relatively young age could be seen as an advantage, demonstrating a long-term commitment to the field.

You need to focus on several key factors for admission such as a strong quantitative background, relevant work experience, exceptional GMAT/GRE score, compelling essays and recommendations, and more.

To provide more specific guidance, we recommend a detailed discussion of your profile. Would you like to schedule a free consultation with one of our MBA experts? We can help you craft a winning application strategy. Our contact number is +91 9769092456.
