Congrats. Great scholarship too.

thanks...

I got in too....I am still trying to understand why BW ranks SMU 32 while its ranked 54 in US news and 98 in FT....I know the methodologies are different for these rankings but still there should be some parity right?

Also, have an admit from Notre Dame and Tippie and waiting for Georgetown and Scheller.

Would love to hear from you guys on the reputation and overall experience of being in SMU.

Also the website mentions that the Empl stats are 92% after 3 months but a lot of magazines have it mentioned close to 75%. Dallas is a big city and I think that's definitely an advantage in SMU's favor.

Whats this India Scholar's program and how do you apply for GAs? I am from India.

Shall we make an FB/https://gmatclub.com/chat group to start discussing??

Got a scholarship of $60,000.. What will the personal expenses ?

Although Dallas is a big city, Texas as such is below in terms of living expenses in comparison to other big cities.
I reckon 800-1000 $ per month.

Congrats on such a generous scholarship offer. Mind sharing your profile and admits from any other colleges.

I am heavily leaning towards accepting the SMU offer for now.

Thanks. My only worry is the finance part. Not sure how will I be able to manage it. How much can we earn through the internships ? and residential facilities are in-campus ?

I think the internship amount depends of where you go. But on average students ear anything between 4k-5k per month.

Also, I heard there are GA available starting second year in SMU. It being a university might open up a number of positions.

Total fee I think would be close to 100,000 $. So you have 40k fee left + the living expenses. to pay at max.

50 lakhs from my own pocket !!! Got headaches Will any bank help me with so much loan ?

How did you come up with 50 lakhs dude??

40k = 26 lakhs.
25 k = 15 lakhs

Thats like maximum. Plus you have internship thats like everyone gets them. And GA if you can manage. Something like 10-15$ per hour.

I feel it will be somewhere in the region of 25-30 lakhs.

You pay that figure for an MBA in India.

Ek Kudos to banta hai yaro :D
