Hello all,
I have admits from UCLA and NYU - dinged after interview at Booth and Kellogg. No interviews from Tuck and Ross. All this was ROUND 2 - so I believe I may have a better chance in round 1.
but I have a potential offer as MD/Country Manager for a Oil and Gas company - I would be setting up operations in India.
Obviously its a really big opportunity but I will be 30 this year (2017). if i re-apply, i will 31 at Matriculation. The new job would be huge interms of the impact i can create and potentially strengthen my candidacy - but would be age work significantly against me?
Any and all opinions welcome!!

Hi bb10
Interesting dilemma! It would be helpful to know your goals in getting the MBA and why perhaps you're considering turning down Stern and UCLA. These are two great programs with lots of fantastic career options! I agree with your assessment about possibly aging out. Once you are 7 or more years out of undergrad, this process just gets tougher and tougher...
There is a slight advantage in R1 vs R2 but it really can depend on so many factors and the unfortunate part is that we can't predict the future. Maybe for example apps will increase significantly in R1 this year, which negates the lift of R1 this year over R2 last year. (And note that the MBA applicant numbers do tend to trend upwards.)
My advice would be to visit the admit weekends at both programs if you haven't already and then make your decision...
I hope that helps!

Thanks mbaMissionKrista.
My long term desire is to build my own consulting firm with a focus on engineering services in a variety of industry verticals (energy, fintech and digital) - short term I wanted to get into one of MBB.
Given the new job offer and my advancing age, I may not be a good fit for MBB anymore - so probably reconsider a general management role in a multinational - with exposure to energy industry? The long term vision remaining the same.
i will be 30 in september this year, 31 at matriculation in 2018. So def on the higher end of the age spectrum. But some other reputed consultancies (on par wth MBAMISSION) have indicated that my chances at Kellogg and Booth are high given the prospect of impact in the new job. But again, its all speculation.
Maybe we can do a short profile evaluation with my resume and past strategy? Please let me know if you can condcut a 15-20 minute call for the same.
