As a matter of fact I do. I recently did an upgrade to my batmobile. It is now capable of travelling with speed of light. All the money went into that. There is not much for my MBA now. :D

Nobody is getting any part of Wayne Enterprise's. I know what the Joker wants, and he is not getting that. :P
I will have to want the scholarship. :D

Got mine a few hours ago. My scholarship is not as I expected, and not enough for me to make the decision right now.
Any one else got the package?

Hello nice people,
I am in a dilemma I wanted some suggestions on.
I have gotten a Deans Tuition scholarship (full ride) from Olin in R2. I am to accept the offer by 4th March. On the other hand, I got my Booth R2 interview invite. And the final decisions for R2 will be out by 17th March.
So, I dont really know if I should be accepting the offer and later on reject it if Booth makes me an offer I can not refuse (:P). I should not be the first one with this situation. What is the norm in this case?

N:B: I do not want to do something unprofessional or give a bad vibe about students from Bangladesh in general.

Regards,
JW

I wish I were in your dilemma. j/k

As to your concern, I think B-Schools in general will not make any judgement on students from a country if one rejects the offer after paying the deposit. This is a fact in applying season that all B-Schools understand, and that is why the deposit is there. If you are in this situation, I think you only need to give the school a polite excuse.

A solution to your case could be that you tell Booth about the offer at Olin and ask them to release the decision on your application sooner, if possible. I doubt that this action could deteriorate your chance of getting admission from Booth.

I agree with the comment above. Talk to both schools and see what you can arrange. Worst comes to worst.. pay the deposit and do what you gotta do right? Bicaly becomes free money for Olin lol

My two cents would be to pay the Olin deposit ($1,500) and consider as a sunk cost (A bird in hand).

If you get the Booth Admit and you choose to go for it, $1,500 wouldn't matter in the context of your overall spend and in the long haul.

In making your choice also consider outcomes... (depending on how you plan to fund your education though). If you are thinking entrepreneurship post MBA you don't want to have significant debt stressing you out.

But if you are looking at Finance or Consulting roles, aggressively go for Booth regardless of their offer.

Thanks for some great suggestions. I will try to work i out with the schools.

Meanwhile, if I may ask- what are the factors that influenced you to accept Olin ( besides the financial aspects) ? So far I hear that Olin is a good school but with strong reputations in regional aspect. Any heads up about the tech Entrepreneurship scene ? I am hoping from some perspective from the locals, cause it's tough all the way here in Bangladesh.

Cheers !

I personally find this season weird in terms of scholarships. Olin is a good school but it is in Missouri....and St. Louis....I would imagine it would need to be extra generous to attract more talent - which it was in the past, not sure what happened this time.

Maybe we will have a class of 14 instead of the usual 140 LOLOLOL

Maybe this accidentally happens to only GMATClub members. I am going to ask for a better package with an optional essay (which I did not have in the application). I am looking forward to good news :).

Also, could you share more about life in St. Louis. I read some posts in Calling all applicants thread, but the more information the better. I plan to bring my family together, so quality of life is also an important factor.

I emailed and asked Mark to let me know whether he has received my official GMAT score report and undergrad transcripts, but he has been very quiet.....ugh, I was hoping for better communication.

Anyone else tried to talk to them and got timely responses?

Not had any issues with getting responses from Ashley... typically get responses by the next day (I'm about 5hrs ahead of ET though)
