Age literally has nothing to do with acceptance...

if you’ve been waitlisted, you have a chance

You really think so? All I’ve been hearing is that candidates over 30 are “too old” and have to work to convince the adcom as to why they’re pursuing a full time MBA and instead of an EMBA.

This gives me hope as an older applicant!

I’m 32 and was waitlisted. My buddy last year was 32 and got into Fuqua

I have multiple people at my place of work who are nearing 40 and applying and have met current students at other programs who are 35+

If you’re 40 or 20, why would any program care about age as long a you’re competitive, meet the standard, and are a fit for the program? you’re there for 2 years for an education and that’s all. there’s no

reason why they wouldn’t take someone based on age. programs brag about test scores, gpa, etc. not how old their students are

Did you receive an invite for a 1 on 1 session? I haven’t received anything from the adcom other than the status update on the portal.

Thanks for this. I’ve been hearing otherwise so happy to hear that applicants over 30 are welcomed.

Congratulations to everyone who got admitted! To the one’s waitlisted - hang in there. Waitlists will move. I’ve declined my offer at Darden, and there will be others who might do the same.

For anyone worried about waitlist, that’s how a majority of us will probably come off before the next round. Someone declining their acceptance

I got in at Fuqua. I dropped an email on 16th to withdraw my application. I was asked to wait untill decision date. I am committed towards Fuqua and want to matriculate there.
