Okay, does anyone know if they give scholarships to folks accepted off the waitlist? At first glance, you would think the answer is no. But if you think a little more, you'll realize that they obviously give scholarships to the most deserving/qualified candidates. And it is precisely these candidates that perhaps choose higher ranked schools, freeing up money in the scholarship pool. Which means there should be some $ left in the bank to offer to waitlisted candidates getting accepted.

What do you guys think? This wait is putting my speculative mind in overdrive. Sorry in advance! :)

I like the way you think!

Anyone hear anything today re scholarships?


Just piggybacking here. Have any of you haggled (or plan to haggle) for a scholarship? I got a full ride to Olin, but I really want to go to Mccombs. Any opinions on the etiquette of calling the financial aid office and explaining the predicament?

dude take the money and run. i haven't heard of anyone negotiating scholarships for an MBA program before. worth a shot i guess.

Haha. I hear you. But McCombs is more up my ally for a few reasons (location, better marketing program). Has anybody heard about scholarships from R2 yet? Just trying to gauge when I should reach out to financial aid.

Where did you hear this from? I heard a different date. So confusing, but I like your deadline date a lot better.

Crazy how inconsistent they are with the information they've been giving accepted students re scholarship notification dates. I've been waiting to find out before I book a flight for admitted students weekend and I'm sure many others have been doing the same.

Congrats on the invite!

Not sure about others, but if I get an invite I do plan on flying into Austin. I need to experience the culture/school first-hand so I can make the best decision possible.

Can you elaborate. The financial aid section seems to be about application based scholarships only, but I'm talking about the merit ones. Can you tell me where you're looking?
