Hi there-
Greatly appreciate a quick review of my profile. My primary concern is around my work experience, given I changed fields 3 years into my career and the fact I'd be 28 at matriculation. My target schools are: HBS, Wharton, Tuck
American, 3.8 from top US regional. 720 GMAT, Good EC at uni, President of an on campus charity and we did some great things. Was also President of a different org and involved with a few others, including student government.
Out of college, spent three years in a management development program with some good responsibilities and led a few high profile projects. In my last year I was sent overseas to work in the UK. After my last year, decided the experience was great but the industry wasn't for me, and moved into a support staff role for a management consultancy. Developed a strategy and system for them, and moved on doing consultancy support for one of the elite consultancies (bear in mind I've been in the UK since I was sent over for my first employer). Also am a director of a local charity and have been for 1.5 years.
Main questions are, as I mentioned about my age at matriculation, my interesting work history, and in particular the support staff role I've had for the past few years. While I feel its been great, do you think these programs would look down on positions that didnt have direct reports and supported rather than were involved in consultancy?

I don't think the schools are going to look "down" on your job(s). I think more importantly is how you shape your essays to support your goals and abilities to succeed. If done correctly, you can spin your stories into a Harry Potter-tale and still get the AdComs to believe you (of course, don't shape it to the actual Harry Potter, but think about the heroics tale that shaped the English literature - from Harry Potter to the Odyssey). Anway, as you probably know, the three schools of your choice are extremely competitive and that even the best of the crop will get rejected simply due to bad luck. As long as you have realistic expectations, go for it and apply.
