Scholarships based solely on gmat?

Hey A,
I would urge you to contact the school directly, as most schools have many scholarship programs, with different criteria.

I've never heard of a scholarship solely based on your GMAT score (the schools probably look at other factors as well). Scholarships are often given out to those who are at risk not accepting a school's offer because they can go to a better school. So ironically, those who get the scholarships are often the most competitive applicants who need financial help the least (because they were already very successful in their pre-MBA careers).

Another reason to consider beating the GMAT: Recruiting. Some companies (McK, Goldman, Google, etc.) look at your GMAT score when you apply for summer internships / full-time positions. A very low score could prevent you from receiving even a 1st round interview.

However, having said that, the large majority of companies out there doesn't ask for your GMAT score.
