Re: enquiry about suitability for Terry... Help me decide [#permalink]
It's hard to forecast scholarships without an official GMAT score. However, we do know that for Fall 2009, Terry's GMAT 80% range is 580-710, so if you can score 710+ I think you could be a strong scholarship candidate.

The other thing to consider is a research assistantship (RA). USNews 2009 reports that Terry had 60 RA positions available and had a first-year full-time enrollment of 45. If exactly half of the 60 RA spots were open to first-years, it seems logical to conclude that 30 of 45 first-years were offered a RA position, which is an outstanding percentage. This may be a way for you to attend with less than a full scholarship.

Good luck!

My pleasure. Just to confirm what we think could be true, I would shoot an email to the admissions office. Ask them about the offer frequency of RAs and how much support they provide!

Oops, perhaps I wasn't clear! I meant that you should send them an email! Plus it will start the ball rolling on showing them how interested you are in the Terry program.
