Hi and thanks for posting...
Overall you are fairly correct in your points about your perceived 'weaknesses', or at least they are challenges... over 30 doesn't have to be the worst thing BUT no matter what your age-- you need to be sure to justify WHY you need/want this MBA and how it will help you with your career goals. I'm not sure based on what you said about your goals, if you've fully flushed that out in a way so as to make the best case for NEEDing that MBA.
Overall just based on the info you provided here, I'd suggest programs outside the top 20 for better chance... so maybe Kelley, Olin, Carroll... but there are so many variables about schools (geographical region, actual setting, class profile, class size, curriculum, teaching philosophy, etc) that it's tougher to just pick random programs for ya, depends on what you are looking for!
Let us know some more details or how else we can help.
