questions about scholarships

[mbaapp]

Which of the top business schools are known to give the most scholarships to admitted applicants? Is there any ranking of this out there?

Also, I was wondering if there would be a disadvantage (scholarship-wise) to apply Early Decision to Columbia, for example? I would think that because it's binding, they don't need to use money to entice applicants to commit to the school?

Dear mbaapp,

There is no public information on scholarship awards. Schools view that information as a competitive advantage and the amount of money available can change from year to year. As for any disadvantage to applying early decision, it is hard to know. I would not think so as Columbia does not really need to award large scholarships to attract students, but I don't think there is any way to really know.

Regards,
Lisa
