Hi gautam_sunil,

Financial aid is granted to everyone who is accepted to an MBA program in the form of loans. Scholarships can be granted based on academic achievement, need or other personal achievements. Each school has different policies and scholarships, so it would be useful to investigate specifics with the schools themselves.

Your academic profile is a bit weak for a top 10. Academics is only part of the equation, so if you have excellent work experience, stellar essays and wonderful volunteer/extracurricular work the academic profile may be fine. I would definitely suggest broadening your pool of potential schools if you feel that you need an MBA this year.

Good luck!

Hi Sunil,

I would get involved in a volunteer opportunity immediately. The best extracurricular/volunteer activity is one that allows you to demonstrate teamwork and leadership, but if you're applying for this year you may need to settle on some one-off community service (soup kitchen, building houses for the homeless, etc.)

Good luck!
