This is a great forum with excellent people. I have been planning for an MBA for a while but wasn't able to work on in till now. Here are some details:
Age:
Will be 30 when applying for 2013 admissions
Education:
Undergrad in a Computer-related Engineering field (outside North America and Europe), GPA 4/4
Master's Degree in a Computer-related engineering field from a top Canadian university, GPA 4/4
Work Experience:
~3 years engineering in a leading semiconductor company (doing software)
~4 years (by round 1) in a small and fast growing american software company
started in tech position but currently hold a management position in one of departments at the company
GMAT: 760+
Extra-curricular: very good.. both in university but mainly in an NGO.
Planning for R1/R2 for 2013 admissions..
I understand my profile is not weak, but should I be concerned about age? I do have some top schools in mind, but I have been reading that age may be an issue. Any feedback is welcome.

I have the same concern. My GMAT is not as strong as yours but I have an overall strong profile. I chose to take a shot at the April deadlines as I would be 29 at entry this fall if accepted. The other consideration I made was waiting is another year later I would get out. Several people I have spoken with for advice on this gave me the general idea that 30 and 8 years of good WE was the cap before your starting to be more of a fit for EMBA or solid night programs.

I'll be 32 with 11 years of work experience, and I received good news from many full-time MBA programs. There's no problem being 30+. People will tell you that you need a good rationale, but everyone needs a good rationale, regardless of age.
