I finally decided to embark on getting a second MBA degree. I would prefer it to be an International one, and Rotterdam is at the top of my list because of its affordability and overall positive feedback I have collated.

Though I am still a little torn -

Number 1: I am 30, will be 31 in the next 4 months. Will age be an inhibitor?

Number 2: Is it too late for me to start preparing for GMAT and work for the 2021 intake? If I try for 2022, will age again be a factor?

Also your input on my chances will be appreciated

Profile:

4+ years of advisory and consulting experience with global companies and global stakeholders (firm called Everest Group). Little international travel to speak of. I have been at a managerial position for almost a year now.

MBA from a Top-5 B-school in India

2 years - Software Engineer, Infosys

Engineering degree - nondescript university

Hi, Welcome to GMAT Club.

1. Your age is not at all an inhibitor. RMS MBA class average age itself 31. Pl go through the below link.

2. When are you planning to give GMAT? You still have time to apply for 2021 intake. For an international applicant, you still have time to submit an application. See the deadline

All the best.

These links, covering a decade, might be useful:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-age-of-3 ... 59579.html
https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-at-107224.html
https://gmatclub.com/forum/mba-at-269435.html
If possible get in touch with people who responded in the links.

I would vouch positively and only concern that i see is that you have to have a solid reason for doing another MBA. :thumbsup:

Definitely not a inhubitor.

Early 30s is fine. Just peoceed for 2021 intake. By then, world situation in 2021 is expected to be much better than in 2020
