Hi all. My name is Zach and I am worried that I am too young to apply for business school. Well I do know I am too young since the median age of top 15 business schools, where I feel my credentials land me, is 27-28. I am trying to go to Business school so I can switch industries and pursue private equity. Having an MBA would give me better options moving forward on switching careers. Should I apply to a handful of the top schools and hope I get it, I do only need one to say yes. Will it affect me negatively if I reapply at 26? I will be 24 in the Fall of 2014, what should I do? My gut is telling me to roll the dice on a few schools even though the odds are against me.

Zach,
How much full-time, post-college work experience will you have in Fall 2014? When did you graduate?
Thanks,
Linda
