I wrote to them about the missing "second email" after being asked to do so on the phone. I haven't heard back - how much time does it take to forward an email again ?

so much for the "we'll get back to you by the end of the day"

hahahaha that was yesterday and i still haven't heard a thing... doesnt look like they're interested in matching... doh!

I don't remember her mentioning her name. She just said "MBA admissions".

What was the outcome? Did Darden ever match your scholarship?

gmatclubbers, i need your advice. i was awarded a small scholarship from Darden ($20k total, $10k per year). on first thought, this is probably not enough to persuade me- Anderson is my top choice at the moment and my heart is pretty much set on it for several reasons, including important personal preferences.

how should i go about asking Anderson to consider matching the scholarship offer? in my opinion, it doesnt hurt to ask, especially if it is done the right way. the worst thing that can happen is they say sorry, wish we could help. best case scenario, i'll have less money to repay post MBA.

thanks in advance!

Hi There,

In case you have certain financial constraints you can drop a request email to the university scholarship chances and why you need them. Mentioning the amount given by other university will be a bad option.
