I agree, this is very selfless of you pelihu. And your dogs are beautiful! So will you bring them to UVA (seems like this is where you'll go?)?

Hey thanks. It's easy to love dogs. If you just give them food, a safe place to sleep, some attention and discipline they will be loyal for life.

My plan is to leave them with my parents for the first year. I have been getting the dogs acclimated to their house and my parents love them. If things go as planned and I'm able to secure a job during the summer I will take them with me for the 2nd year. There are lots of hiking trails and a huge dog park in the area. I've also connected with a few people that have dogs and would like to share a house with a yard. I think I'll be too busy the first year, but hopefully things will work out for the 2nd.

So, I'm sure we have a few new admits. Any new statistics to share? Why not make this a sticky? If this information is compiled over the years, it would really make GMATclub stick out. Many people want this info, but you can't find it anywhere on the internet. I think we should also do away with the discussions, just keep it stats only.

Very unlikely.. Scholarship decisions were made months ago. Maybe someone applied for a fellowship since then, but otherwise, what you see here, is likely what you get.

One potential for updates: many gmatclub students were working with the schools to get their scholarship amounts re-evaluated. Of course, once they do this, the schools say not to spread that info around, so those who managed such a re-evaluation may not have posted an update.

Bear in mind that not all scholarships are awarded at acceptance. I recieved one scholarship back in March and just got another one last week.

Also, for those who do receive scholarships, be prepared to write some lengthy thank you letters to all donating parties/institutions.

Finally, you don't need stellar stats to get a scholarship. My GMAT was horrible (40 points below the mean at our school) yet I still qualified.

It's (nearly) all in the essays; really hone your craft on preparing those.

Hi Thanks for this info Matt.

What kind of things should one highlight to be considered as a scholarship candidate ?

Emphasize your plans for actively getting involved in clubs/organizations. Also, it doesn't hurt to mention (if applicable) that you received an undergrad scholarship. Be sure to articulate how you best utilized those funds. I would bet hands down that's how I qualified.

I didn't do a single thing that Matt did, and I got roughly half tuition at Duke.

When you apply, just be the absolute most fabulous applicant you can be. I don't think thinking about scholarships at this point will help you to focus your application or make it better.

From the school's point of view, I think scholarships are a way of buying good candidates. The adcoms might be looking for higher GMAT averages, more women, more minorities, more people from a certain industry, etc. To be sure to get these folks to enroll, they sweeten the deal. The Park Fellowship at Cornell (full ride plus stipend plus perks) was created in large part to draw in the best possible students. In other words, it's all part of yield management.

I would also guess that adcoms might give scholarships to students for whom b-school is price elastic. In other words (for those of you who don't remember basic econ), they might be more likely to sprinkle money on a student from a low-income background. I mean, really, why throw $20k at Donald Trump's kid? But that $20k meant a lot to me. I can't imagine that that policy is written down anywhere, but it does make some sense.

As you can imagine, Montauk has a chapter!

I had some experience with this and also helped another GMATClubber, so I can tell you about one method:

Some schools don't want to hear about how broke you are. Duke is one of them. Instead, you need to tell them great stuff that might not have been in your application. I actually had to write an entire additional essay. Argh.

Other schools, you just ring 'em up, and if they like you enough, they'll throw some money at you.

Wasn't there a thread on this? I don't remember.
