Dear Forum,
I was advised by DisciplinedPrep to post my question here and would be glad to hear your opinion.
I have recently taken my GMAT exam, with a total score of 760 (99 percentile) and an IR score of 8 (92 pecentile). I am still awaiting my AW score, and expect it to be decent too. I am from South-East Europe and hold a bachelor's degree in Business Administration with a mediocre (though not terrible) final grade from a first-tier German university. I have around two years of back-office work experience in a consulting firm. While I was successful at various competitions and initiatives in highschool, I haven't achieved anything extraordinary at university or afterwards.
My goal is to enroll in a business programme at one of the top business schools worldwide. However, I cannot afford the tuition fees and I don't wish to go for a study loan. Therefore, I am interested in different scholarship percpectives.
Given my profile, what are my chances of receiving a scholarship at one of the best business schools? Is there something I should consider, and are there any useful webpages I could browse for information on this topic? I would be thankful for any suggestions regarding my future options.
Thank you, and best regards

Hi Mondcivitano
My name is Shimri Winters and I head the strategy team here at ARINGO MBA Admissions Consulting.
Well done for receiving a truly great GMAT score.
Your mediocre GPA is not a big worry, as a. you have made up for it with a 760 GMAT and b. it sounds like you studied in a foreign country, and possibly in a foreign language. So we can definitely explain to the schools that your academic ability is not represented in the mediocre GPA.
Regarding the scholarship question. It is hard for me to assess your profile based on the info you shared (so please send me your CV to shimriw@ARINGO.com and I will share a deeper assessment).
There are also questions you need to think about for example: do you prefer a top 5 school (for example Wharton or Harvard) with no scholarship vs. a top 10 school (for example Ross or Cornell) with a 50% scholarship vs. a top 20 school (for example Georgetown) with a full ride? another question is, do you prefer a European program vs. a US one. For example - would you go to INSEAD with no scholarship (but a shorter and cheaper degree) vs. Chicago Booth with a 50% scholarship?
Anyway, a lot of questions here ?.
Just on the basis of the above, I would say you have a good chance of receiving a decent scholarship in the top US and EU schools. How do you make decent into substantial? write kick-ass applications (Well, that is what we specialize in...)
As I said, feel free to drop me a line with your CV and other info and we can take it from there...
As always, I suggest you check out our site, for lots of info on scholarships, chances assessment etc. on https://www.ARINGO.com
GOOD LUCK!
