Why an MBA at 40? Not trying to be condescending but your ROI will be severely diminished compared to newly minted MBAs at 28/29 years old.

Kellogg’s EMBA avg. age is 38 with a range 31-46. It depends on the program. There are top programs that can waive test scores if your background proves you can handle the quantitative part of their curriculum.
