Is it too old to do an MBA at 27/28? Currently just turned 25 and have a BSc from top uni (high GPA average), did MSc in Finance Math and currently doing part time MSc in international Real Estate and Investment - will be 26/27 when I finish this. Then wanted to do 1 year MBA to finish all my education at 27 or 28 so would finish at 28 or 29. Opinions? If at first you don't succeed then skydiving is not for you! |

don't most mba students have an average of 4-5 years experience anyways, making them around 26-27...i think wharton's average is closer to 5-6 years isn't it? i think most ppl in mba programs would be around 27-28 |

What gives you the idea that you're too old at 27/28? Give me a break! There is something to be said for having "life experience" (not to mention work experience) and, personally, I would rather have someone with a little bit of "seasoning" than straight out of university into MBA school. In your case, it seems to be university...grad school...and then MBA? |

I know - perfectly agree about the pointless aspect of someone who starts at 22/23 since I gained so many other personal skills outside of university in travel. sport, networking, business, work - things you don't learn at university - just thought I should be 25/26 when starting and then starting MBA position at 26/27! The Masters in real estate and investment is part time to give me direction - MBA would just be the management so I could go my own way, explore new options and that finishing of a personal education..Personally, I'm going to try and apply for 2015 and will be 28 when finishing - think this is a prime age.. Just read somewhere that best age to start was 25/26...but most top 10 MBA schools average around 27-29 (especially as you get military applicants who say have served 4-6 years after undergrad). Personaly the MBA would do little for me now as I havn't specialised in my niche market - but I guess if you have the experience at 25 then shouldn't be a bad thing.. If at first you don't succeed then skydiving is not for you! |

yeah right - 27/28 is a perfect time to do an MBA. |

Nonsense, those are just averages and 27/28 is smack in the middle for MBA. |
