Not sure if anyone has responded yet, but I've seen and hear several times that around 30% of incoming students receive scholarships starting at $10,000 per year and topping out at $30,000 per year. Very few students get fellowships which cover all tuition and an annual stipend.

Does anyone have insight on what type of what type of candidate profile would potentially up for a scholarship? A few different times I've seen it is based on "academic merit" or "financial need"... but what does that mean? Is there a GMAT or GPA range that constitutes "academic merit"? Or an income range or savings amount that constitutes "financial need"? I know it probably depends on the class profile, but it would be interesting to hear how this has played out in the past. Just curious...[/quote]

Underrepresented candidates in the class they are trying to build, e.g. female, US underrepresented minorities, international countries with less representation. In terms of academic merit, most likely GMAT >750, High GPA, and/or Strong undergrad institution. In terms of need, I would say people coming from the public sector, education, non-profit, etc. or those that have the ability to conceal a large portion of either their salary and or their net worth, but I find that a bit more unrealistic

Everyone I've talked to and what I've read says that financial need is not taken into account for Booth. They base it solely on "merit".

I asked some Booth current students/ alumni. The maximum scholarship given to them is around $60,000 ($30,000 per year). About 2 of them have additional funding from sponsors (some companies offer financial aid to Booth students).

I am not sure whether it is hard to get funding from the latter source. Anyone has any idea?

Did anyone receive an email from admissions saying that your official GMAT score has been received? I sent in my scores on 1/6, this seems really late.

Strangely enough I received the same email saying my official GMAT score report was received, but I thought it was because I retook my GMAT recently.... I got the email today...
Anyone know what the deal is?

Interesting - these "sponsors" are a seperate initiative from companies paying for current employee's to get their MBA and then return right? I remember reading about company sponsored scholarships on their website - but those are far limited in number!

For those that just received a GMAT email, did you have your scores sent in January or later?

I never received that email, but I took the test in October and had the scores sent to Booth then.

I actually just looked back on my application. It says that my scores were verified on 2/8. I did not recieve the email and sent my scores in October.

Where does it say on your application what day scores were verified? I don't see anything like that.

Click print application and then scroll down to the GMAT score. It should be there.

When you download the printable version in the "Test" section. Btw- my paranoia about not recieving an email is at all time highs. Need to hear a decision :)

Thanks - Mine was verified Feb. 16. I guess they sent out the interview invites before verifying the scores because I got my invite on January 19.

I just received the email too and thought it was strange. I had my scores report fulfilled Jan 3rd, I remember freaking out that I wouldn't have them submitted on time with my App. I'm guessing that those who auto-submitted scores to Booth on test day won't necessarily receive this email.

While we're on the topic of application materials. My status still shows as not having an official transcript. I uploaded mine when i applied, but i never had my undergrad institution send them an official one. Were we supposed to do that?

No, they only require that if you are admitted.
