I recently spoke with the Admissions Director at ESCP, and she mentioned that age could be a concern in the full-time MBA class. She suggested I consider the Executive MBA instead. I explained that I am still relatively new to the field and believe that a full-time MBA would be a better fit for me at this stage.
Should I take her advice as a sign not to apply, or would it still be worth submitting my application? I'd love to hear thoughts from anyone who has been in a similar situation or has insight into how strictly age is considered in the admissions process.

Hi Aim4gmat2024 ! Your conversation with the ESCP Admissions Director raises an important consideration about fit and career outcomes too. As per the class profile of ESCP’s (MBA in International Management) the average age is 30 years and average work experience is 6 years, so the adcom might be concerned about post-MBA placement if you are significantly above this range. The suggestion to consider the Executive MBA likely stems from a belief that your experience aligns more with senior professionals who benefit from a flexible format while continuing to work. However, if your career goals require a full-time MBA, especially for a major career switch you can still give it a shot, but you’ll need to make a strong case for why this is the right path for you. Before that, it would be great to connect with ESCP alumni who were on the higher end of the age spectrum to understand their job placement experiences. If you decide to move forward, be prepared to address recruiter concerns and highlight how your background adds value to the cohort. Alternatively, you could explore full-time MBA programs such as IE, Cambridge, Warwick, or ESSEC. Ultimately, your decision should align with both your professional goals and the job market realities for post-MBA opportunities. If you'd like, we would be happy to learn more about your overall profile and gauge your chances for the best-fit schools. Please feel free to book a profile evaluation call.

How much above the ESCP average age (about 29-30 I think) would you be? Since ESCP is usually a small class (typically less than 100 students), they wouldn't want an extreme outlier who they feel will be out of place in the class. If the Admissions Director says something, I would usually take it seriously.
