Hi,
I have a question regarding the Prodigy Finance loan criteria.
I got offers from INSEAD, LBS, Bocconi, Booth and Cambridge. I applied for loans to Prodigy for each school, and my loan for Cambridge and Booth were approved while the rest were declined.
I applied for similar amounts for each school (by adjusting how much I'll spend out of my savings), so I'm not sure what is driving the different outcome for each school. I'd have thought that LBS and INSEAD would have higher chances of approval due to better employment outcomes than CJBS, however that doesn't seem to be the case.
Does anyone know the criteria? Is there perhaps a limit for funding for each school? Or would they be placing more emphasis on the overall school reputation, hence approving CJBS and Booth but rejecting the rest?
I also have a scholarship for 10% of tuition fees for CJBS. Could this perhaps be the reason why they are more favourable for that one?

I tried Columbia Jan intake now (no admission yet but have an upcoming interview). I asked for a significantly higher amount than I did with other schools (about $100k more), and the application was provisionally accepted anyway.
I also tried LBS again, and even when I ask for a significantly lower amount and adding post-MBA job offer with a high salary (from my family company), it is still rejected.
This makes me think it's highly dependent on the school/program and they just don't want to give the loan for INSEAD/LBS MBA at the moment regardless of amount/risk profile. INSEAD is for January intake, so highly doubt it's because the program funding for the intake has already hit its limit.
It's surprising that they seem to look at CJBS more favourable than these two despite lower rankings and worse employment outcomes in average in their job reports.
