I had an intern from HBS who was in his mid 30s last summer. 29 is not too late at all.

I wasn’t my intern’s interviewer so not sure about that initial bar but he was a great intern and got a full time offer for whatever that’s worth

You might literally be the most average-aged person in your class

Im strongly considering an MBA. Only thing that deters me is cost. I’ve heard of some tier 1 firms that will offer tuition reimbursement for returning interns post-MBA, how common is that? Also considering pivoting to a firm that offers scholarships. Any tips/insight on this? Thank you!
