Dear All
I am 39 years old , targeting top BSchools form Canada.
Replies from two admission cells after preliminary evaluation : both suggested that i am too old for full time MBA as average age is around 28-32 years. Further, according to them, even recruiters want to have students at around 28-32 years old . They are suggesting me to go for EMBA. To best of my knowledge EMBA make sense only if i am working there and also i have no clue how EMBAs are perceived in global markets
any help /suggestion on this will be welcome.![Smile :)]()
