Hello,
I am hoping to gain a scholarship to one of the top B-schools in the USA and would appreciate an assessment if my goals are realistic.
Profile snapshot:
- I am 29, have 4 solid work experience in a top tier accounting firm working on some high profile engagements, and prior to that 3 years in a successful IT development firm.
- Wide range of extra curricular activites including community work with Indigenous communities, over 30 full seasons of team sports, Yoga teacher, avid traveller, student elite sports academy during college.
- Graduated with a combined Bachelor Commerce / IT in 2002 from one of Australia's top universities.
Ok, here is my question. Assuming I was able achieve a GMAT of 750 (I realise that is a bold assumption) - do you think I would have a good chance of obtaining a scholarship at on of the top 15 B-schools in the US?
When considering scholarships, in general what are the key factors the schools will consider? Is age a factor? Is the financial position of the applicant a factor? How much emphasis is placed on the GMAT?
Thanks in advance,
Julian
