Re: Admitted with $$$/scholarship [#permalink]
One other thing to keep in mind is need-based versus merit-based scholarships. I know some schools use need-based almost exclusively (I think HBS only has 1 merit-based scholarship and it's for healthcare people) while others are almost only merit-based (I think Yale is 100% merit-based).

Re: Admitted with $$$/scholarship [#permalink]
Like other have said, it's a way for schools to shape their classes. Since most schools have their own "typical" applicant pools, often the $$$ goes to the people who don't normally attend their school.

A highly desirable candidate to HBS isn't necessarily a highly desirable candidate for Stanford.
