That’s how old most of the military folks are
I’d say a majority of students start at ages 26-30 but there are certainly people older and younger than that! A lot of my friends are in their 30s

I’m 34 in full time - it’s fine
Completely ok - you’d be in the top 5-10% of your class in terms of age. May be taxing to party with classmates in their mid 20s, but you can always do so in moderation.
Idk man I’m in the best shape of my life I think I can hang 🤣

Age is just one factor in a holistic evaluation. What have you been doing since graduating from college? Is going into IB a complete career change or a pivot?
There are plenty of students who matriculate at 31.
What is more important is that you share why NOW is the right time for you to go to business school, what transferrable skills and knowledge you have from whatever you have been doing to date and what gaps only an MBA can fill to put you on the path you intend to take post-MBA.
What are your goals beyond IB? What is your plan B if you aren't able to secure a role in IB?
Big four deals 3 years. Now 3 years of being an acct fp@a manager at a PE portco going from family business to IPO
Just not very satisfied with the accounting or corp finance career at this point
I started at 38 but I was a career advancer not changer. One recommendation is to put in the hours you'd put in to get your MBA and use that time on the GMAT and see how going to school fits in your life. This assumes you're going part time.
I’d be going full time
To switch to IB/PE
Yall are using the term mid 20s generously. Most people are in their late 20s so 31 is fine. Dont know many 24/25 year olds in full time
Don’t compare yourself to others. Comparison is the thief of joy. You finish when it’s best for you
