is 30 too old to try to pursue an MBA? i have 7 years of software development experience. i'm not interested in EMBA. i want to go into finance/investment banking.

thanks.

No, 30 isn't too old. Some older threads in this board about this.

Hello,

30 is just about the right age for an MBA. With 7 yrs of work experience you must have already learnt a lot about management and that would help you immensely in class once you are in a program.

If you research some good MBA programs worldwide, you will find that the average age of students is between 28 and 35. I would highly recommend you to apply for a full time MBA program rather than an EMBA.

Hope this info was of help to you. Furthermore, I am coming up with a web portal which will help MBA aspirants like you to be better informed and be equipped with all the relevant info so that they can make it to their dream B-Schools. For that I am conducting a small survey which takes just 2 mins to complete. Can you please go to the following link and take the survey? This will help me design the portal for the benefit of fellow MBA aspirants.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Cheers
