alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1587 At 32, with 5 years of experience, there appears to be a gap, here. Did you pursue a PhD? Just trying to better understand your pathway. Generally for older candidates, you’ll need to do a great job of explaining “why now”, how it all ties to your post MBA goals, and show “fit”. Show that you will fully engage with the whole MBA experience. (0)
