Hi Stacy ,
I read your post which explained what information you require in order to make an initial assessment .
Here I go
GPA, major, school - Engineering from Mumbai University India ( 3.4 GPA)
GMAT - 710 (Math's - 50 Verbal -35)
Resume Highlights - TCS (Tata consultancy services ) nasdaq listed company
work ex - 37 months .
Worked as a software developer and now working as a SAP consultant
Extracurricular involvements -
Was part of the college soccer team.
Was an active member of the placement committee in college.
I have short listed a few colleges (TUTION FEE WAIVER IS A MAJOR CRITERIA AS I CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY HIGH TUTION FEES)
Northeastern University
Case western university
Isenberg School of Management
Brigham Young University (Marriott)
Temple University (Fox)

Is there a chance I get a full waiver at any of these schools?

Dear adimoron,

Perhaps. Scholarship awards are highly competitive, and full tuition scholarships are rare in the business school world. Based on your post, you have identified schools where you will be competitive and have a good chance at a scholarship. However, your essays, recommendations and interview will also play a role in both your admission and scholarship decisions. So use these parts of your application to your advantage. You should not expect a full tuition scholarship, but you can certainly give yourself the best chance at one.

Best of luck,
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for your reply . I know expecting a full scholarship is a bit too much but I have no other option but to hope for one.
Thanks,
Aditya
