Admissions Success Stories

Hi,
Can you tell me which business schools will be best for me to apply to get admission as well as funding with 610 gmat score and 3.77 cgpa? I need funding badly. That's why i'm ok with mid level business schools. Please suggest

Your career will play into this as well... What type of work and social work have you done?

One other thing... Your GPA is strong, have you thought of retaking the GMAT? This will help your chances for a scholarship.

Hi darkPassenger - unfortunately it's near impossible to gauge whether you'd have any chance of getting scholarship money without seeing a lot more on your profile. Generally speaking, the lower-ranked schools have less money available to hand out, and in most cases they'll want to use it to attract a high-value candidate. Usually that comes down to the strong achievers (high GMAT score is one metric they use to evaluate that - we echo Jim's comment, you may want to retake the GMAT), along with those with a unique background that will add a lot to the class. If you're coming from an oversubscribed candidate pool such as India then it's much more challenging to get funds. Many schools also offer need-based funds, and they tend to be particularly generous for those coming from disadvantaged situations, so if that's you, then there may be more options available.

Regardless, the MBA has a very high ROI. You wouldn't want to be short-sighted in how you approach this. Most people increase their earnings potential significantly with this degree. Maybe you wouldn't need as much financial help as you think?

Hope that helps.
