I hate how unsupported my MBA aspirations are in MC. Compared to my colleagues at different firms, I feel like I still have so much to learn, which is too late with round 1 around the corner

I currently work at a big 4 firm as Management Consultant (largely Oil and Energy SL) and have around 1.5 YOE. How long should I wait to apply into MBBK? C CTC: 15LPA

PhD in Chemistry w/ 8 YOE. Now pursuing a part-time MBA while working as an R&D manager is a chemical company. I don't enjoy chemistry research anymore and want to try something else. I'm interested in consulting and think it could open doors for me to do something different after a few years. My main struggle is that I think I'm pretty old to make such a change (if I can get into consulting) ...not sure if anyone has a similar background that can share the insights.

I'm planning on going into consulting afterwards and am not sure what school to attend. I know Tuck's group oriented teaching is slightly more geared towards consulting.

What has been making me hesitate is the global presence of what Yale has in its name.

Would you say Yale has almost equal chance of getting into MBB as Tuck?
