Entering consulting at 32

Hello,

I am currently 31 and I am likely to be admitted to a highly ranked european MBA program soon. I will be 32 by the time of graduation and then I would like to try myself in the field of management consulting. Is it true that my age would be considered a negative factor by top consulting companies?

Thanks for your comments..
