Anyone submitted the scholarship request already? The need-based one

Wonder what to write in the last section. Question is the following: "Please explain your plans to fund your MBA and any special circumstances if applicable. Provide details as needed on any resources listed in the application, or not captured in the resources section. Limit your responses to 250 words or less. (optional)"

Shoul I just say that I plan to take a huge loan? Or it should be more essay-like?

I am wondering about the same thing. Would be helpful if a current student or admissions consultant could guide on the same. Yet to fill out the other scholarship forms as well. I do not know the protocol to ask someone to answer here though. Would be helpful the moderator could tag someone appropriate.

Thanks.

I am tagging swbluedevil since he was kind enough to participate in an alumni chat a few months ago. I am not sure whether he is active on the forum though. I see that the last time he logged in was on Aug 26th.

If you see a current student that you think might have better insights on this topic, you can go ahead and tag them using '@ 'before the username.

"hey guys, yeah I'm gonna take the biggest loan possibly of my life"... I'm in the same boat, it is crazy expensive, can't see how I will finance it without huge loans, I'm not sure what more I could really say in it

I wrote this:
Plan to fund my MBA by taking out a private loan available to international students (to cover tuition, insurance, accommodation etc), and use saving to cover remaining living costs. Aiming to secure a summer internship to bring in additional funds

I wrote something similar to that too. Let's hope it is enough.

We have the following chat room reserved for HaaS decisions so that applicants can stay in touch and exchange information/update during decision period. All chat rooms are equipped with decision tracker so that decision updates can be seen in the chat room itself.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/mchat7.php?fl=menu

Estimated Decision Release Date/Time: Likely from Dec 11. Some international admits are likely to hear even before.

For more information on chat rooms for other schools, see https://gmatclub.com/forum/round-1-admi ... 82269.html

Hi Guys,

Any Indian applicant invited to interview?
With 10 days to go for decisions, will invitations still be sent?
