Your website is quite informative and really has a non nonsense approach which is refreshing... Now, can you shed some light on my case-
Education PhD (4/4), Purdue
Bachelors India (9.2/10)
Work ex: Technical lead at oil and gas major
GMAT 710 50q 37v
Interested in Sloan Haas Chicago Wharton
Age 34
ExCurr Theatre, Acting, Plays
Now I am new to this and have started researching programs, but I cam see that I am on the older side an with a PhD need to make an even stronger case for FT MBA.
Why MBA after PhD? I am looking to switch careers, you may have hard this before, I would like to leverage the technical expertise I have with business acumen. I understand the EMBA is an option but I am not sure if that would allow for a career switch? Moreover I am in the South right now and am looking to move up northeast or to the west an also feel that a committed 2 yr effort may benefit me more than a part time MBA. Do people with my profiles stand a chance? I am still researching exactly what kind of positions one may obtain post MBA and a phd, but just wanted to ask you. Thanks

You're going to be a stretch because of the fact that you have a PhD (in something other than life sciences, which is what most MBAs with PhDs tend to have) and your age.
Also, keep in mind that adcoms have seen many folks like yourself (not necessarily PhDs but those with a very strong academic/quant/analytical/technical background) who completely misunderstand what an MBA and what business is all about - that an MBA is simply an extension of their technical education to date, and that business is just like their technical jobs, except it pays more.
And that couldn't be further from the truth.
Business is ultimately about your ability to manage and lead people, to supervise people, to be able to build relationships with customers and clients and investors and partners, to be a great team member, to understand group dynamics. It's about one's interpersonal skills, leadership ability and communication skills - basically the kinds of skills and experience that many people with technical/academic backgrounds are weak in.
So your challenge is to convince the adcoms that your interpersonal/leadership skills are as strong if not stronger than your already exceptional analytical/technical abilities. If you can't, you'll have a tough time getting into a top program because there's enough applicants who will be able to show that they have these skills (even if they aren't as analytically/technically brilliant as you are).

Alex, thanks for the reply.I understand your well made point about what business really means. I have confidence in my leadership abilities exemplified by examples of managing teams even though I dud not have formal authority over them. However your point brings up a question. So is 'learning how to manage' then not a reason that the adcom buys? For people who would like that as a reason to go to bskool? I mean if people already have all the skills you mentioned why do they need to ho to business school? Is it that a formal degree establishes that fact?
Thanks for your input. I understand the age issue, though I think I also bring to table valuable insights and experience... But I also understand the adcom arguments for younger applicants. Thanks
