问题一：
35岁被一流MBA录取的可能性有多大？商学院真的非常在意年龄吗？
看到有些商学院好像对大龄青年比 ...

前辈，看到您的G可以考到770，十分佩服。
在下先迈出第一步，把G考到770以上，到时才有资格来和您对话。

我觉得年龄可能会有一点点吃亏，但更多的是经历。恕我直言，你的整体背景感觉不算是特别出彩的，具体在新加坡不太清楚干啥工作，但是世界一流的看你怎么定义了，如果是哈佛斯坦福这种，坦白说可能希望不大，如果是S16后半段，可以试试，您别介意。而且我觉得申请是一个综合，不过我觉得你35还能有这个想法，挺佩服的

Hello there!
Sp let me answer your questions one by one:

First of all, for a regular full-time MBA in the US 35 will be a bit old. Especially if you have not by now developed into a managerial position. You will however have other good options - like an E-MBA or European MBAs (where the candidates tend to be older)

Question 1:
A top-20 US MBA will be unlikely because of your age. But this will depend on lots of other things too - your GMAT, your schooling, your GPA, what you do at work, your volunteer work, etc. etc.

Question 2:
Yes, leadership experience is very helpful and very advantageous. But no you don’t HAVE TO have it already. But still it’s good to show whatever you do have.

Question 3:
It’s not necessary (even if I am a consultant), but it can be very helpful, especially since you are overseas. From China, it can be very difficult to get an idea of what really goes on. My personal recommendation is to find yourself one based overseas.

Question 4: An EMBA is usually shorter. The students are usually older. And many will already have some management experience. Basically for you, an EMBA is the more appropriate program, even though you don’t have much management experience yet.

I hope this helps!!!

Hi Jon,

I am currently considering to hire a MBA consultants to help my application this year. So, do you have any recommended MBA consultant firms or organizations, either in China or overseas?

For MBA consultant, I recommend veritasprep.
For your age, it could be a bit of a disadvantage, but not an absolute determinant. Maybe you could consider some special programs like Stanford MSx program or European MBAs.

关键是要做出超过年龄的成就

比如24的人做到People Manager那算是好， 35岁做到Manager就不算好

对于35岁来说，如果要申请非常靠前的学校，你需要有比其他35岁人强得多的成就

每个学校都有大龄录取的人，非常同意bigjoe说的，看你怎么展现自己比同龄人更优秀了

leadership不一定要是leader，可以是非leader但做了leader的事，如果你能在课外活动有leadership experience，也是可以的

看你自己想要什么东西。年龄不是很大问题，但是你的目的和自己的状况是否match就是很大的问题。我比你大多了也有top20的offer，我自己没感觉学校对这方面有什么限制，倒是蛮看重你的背景。
另外GMAT不是说说。。。这个我不知道怎么说了，祝你考出高分吧。很多路自己走了才知道好不好走，走过了才知道自己到底要什么。
