Hi there! Yes, your high level of work experience is the main challenge I see. Otherwise your profile looks really strong. I would lean towards more accelerated MBA programs, like INSEAD, where you can get high bang for your buck quickly. Kellogg has one too. I would also look into Stanford MSx and Sloan Fellows, which are full-time one year MBAs for more experienced applicants. They may be great fits for you.
Whether you go forward now or opt to wait for an EMBA, I think depends a lot on your goals for the program. The traditional MBA is typically used to make shifts in one's career (industry, function), whereas the EMBA is more of a career enhancement and gives you some credibility for higher-level roles at many companies.
If you go with the traditional MBA, I would cast a wider net in terms of schools, as Harvard/Stanford are extremely competitive.
Good luck, and keep us posted with other questions!

Hi
MBA Mission team,
I seek your feedback on my profile if I have to get into INSEAD, Harvard, Stanford, and Sloan in that order.
GMAT - 740
Work ex - Total 8 years: 2 years in FMCG, 5+ years as an entrepreneur, 1 + year in FMCG again
CGPA - 8.5/10
Education - Engineering + Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Management ( From Best Schools in India )

My query is that I will be 34 years old in the month of Sep 2018 this year. I had put in all my savings in my startup ( could not scale up ) and now I am working in corporate world again
Considering my age, what will be your view from ROI point of view. Will you consider it a nice move or shall I wait for few more years for executive MBA ?
Regards,
SR.
