At the age of 39, you are surely a nontypical MBA applicant, particularly for a Top 25 full-time, residential program. But you do have a powerful story to tell and Kelley could be a great place for you to help make a transition. Given your low GMAT score, particularly for a math major, I really do think you should either retake the exam or not submit it (Kelley is waiving test scores), and do everything you can to meet with admission folks and give them every reason to accept you.

At the age of 39, you are surely a nontypical MBA applicant, particularly for a Top 25 full-time, residential program. But you do have a powerful story to tell and Kelley could be a great place for you to help make a transition.

Since you are outside the sweet spot for full-time MBA admissions, you might want to consider an Online MBA option in which case Kelley has one of the best in the world or an Executive MBA. If you go the online route, you want to make sure that there is strong career development support. Kelley has that in spades. My odds are for the full-time MBA program because of your age and your GMAT score. Neither would be a problem in an online option.
