Hey, a friend of mine used UniAdvise and recommended me the same for my application. I booked a free consultation with them a few days back and I’ll most probably be going ahead with them. So I suggest you can check them out.

Yeah, most of the background work that you do will apply to all schools so the only diff between the 3 and 5 school package will be additional help with the essays

Hi everyone! I was reading the discussion about how scholarships at M7 schools work, so I thought I’d share what we’ve observed working with applicants. Scholarships aren’t just about having the highest GMAT or GRE scores. While strong scores can help, schools look at your entire application, so your story, your goals, the quality of your recommendations, and even how you perform in the interview. Merit-based awards often go to people who combine solid academics with clear leadership impact, whether that’s career progression, entrepreneurial ventures, or meaningful contributions outside of work.

Having said that, certain stories do tend to resonate more when they align with what schools and the broader market are excited about. Think narratives that show you understand where industries are headed and how you’ll contribute to that future. But still, there’s no single “right” story. It’s really about how convincingly you tie your experiences, ambitions, and values together

And for those wondering: being Indian is not a disadvantage. We’ve worked with many Indian applicants who’ve landed significant scholarships at M7s by putting together well-rounded, compelling applications. So please don’t fall into the trap of thinking a strong score is the magic key, because it’s not. There isn’t a formula for scholarships, but there are patterns, and the strongest applications tend to bring all the pieces together in a way that is genuine and well-aligned with the school

To put it simply, I’ll say this: great academics and a high test score (while helpful) cannot compensate for a weak profile or application. But a strong profile and application can compensate for average test scores or academics

Even if you are Indian :)

It does. HBS has its type, just like all schools do. If you match that type - they will want you. And they even work hard to convince those they want - which might take the form scholarships

What exactly does HBS look for?

As you said, every school looks for something?

A track record of leadership. At work and in extracurriculars. Industry agnostic

Of course, every school would love to see leadership potential in their candidates, but for HBS it is almost like a qualifier of sorts. Stanford, for example, wants to see transformational potential (think of their motto: change lives, change organizations, change the world). Wharton wants to see strong analytical and data-driven leadership (whereas HBS is not so heavily focused on analytical and data-driven leadership, just leadership). Research each school well, look at their websites, read their blogs and newsletters, and you will start to get a sense of what they're reaching out for

All are good, but it boils down to how you use it at the end...

But have personally used TOP & E-GMAT - I liked E-GMAT better...

Um, objectively which one is better, my main goal is I want to be as systematic as possible and maximum mocks

Given mocks should be closely aligned with what GMAT actually asks
