What do you guys think ? (my goal is to have an international career in tech: switch from engineer to more general management role)

Congratulations!!

Nothing for me yet - should be any minute now. OMG!!

2 out of 2!! In at LBS and Booth!! YAY

IN! With scholarship

Yes - if you click the link provided in the email, it says you'll get a package in the mail to the address at the top of the acceptance email. See point "C"


"What you should receive from us next:

hmmm, based on the post I just shared, I thought they said scholarship notification wouldn't arrive until next week.

From the LBS Acceptance Portal:

Did they mention something specifically in the acceptance email?

Booth and Tuck both explicitly stated the scholarship, and amount over the phone, but LBS communicated the acceptance via email, so I figured that was why there was no mention of anything.

Yes. The email did mention the scholarship in red and stated the exact amount too.

I take it that no one else had this mentioned in their email?. I am so excited to see you all soon!

Yep, just spoke with them and they said it would be in email now and another round in June. Congratulations!

Just realised that we seem to have a very similar application profile . Except that you got WL at HBS.

What do they mean by "another round in June"? did they explain?

me too!! in and first one! got the email during a meeting and was going nuts waiting for it to be over so i could check!! congrats to everyone!

Would be interested in what they meant by that too. I am guessing it's after the deposit deadline so there will be potential reshuffling of scholarships?

True PM me your background, I wonder if it also matches )

Didn't offer too much detail really. She said there would be another round of scholarships determined in June. Many schools offer merit scholarships upon admission and then fellowships at a later date, so perhaps that's what they meant? Sorry I don't have more details.

I received an email stating that my decision will be delayed until next week. So more waiting until at least Tuesday. Has anyone else received such email this year? I did find a few similar cases in prior years.
