as someone who is 25 and has already been married for 1.5 yrs I looked into this issue and the overwhelming response was that it doesnt really matter as far as your chances of admissions are concerned. Obviously some schools seem to attract older students and hence the ratio of married people goes up.
Hmmm, so being married can hurt your chances of entering MC? I will be 27 at matriculation and married for 1.5 years already.
Plus, doesnt being married make people WANT to work like slaves????
Does being married help/hurt chances of getting into b-school? Anybody have good info on that?

i think there are two differences between a 25 yo and a 28-30 yo:
- the "slightly" older person may have gotten married or have kids by 28-30, which would limit their desire to work like slaves
- for someone like me, I worked like a slave from 24-28 yo and got burned out, which is why I highly doubt I would apply to MC/IB jobs just because I don't want those slave like work hours again.
Just my 2 cents, might not apply to most "slightly" older people, but that's simply my observation.
