Urgent Help! Deposit deadline approaching [#permalink] New post   06 Jan 2023, 00:30
Hello,

Recently, I got an admit from Carlson with 40k scholarship over two years. Waitlisted at Simon, Mendoza, and Owen (Vanderbilt) and already applied to Rice & McCombs in R2.

The deadline for deposit is 13th January for Carlson, I've not option but deposit $1000 as I won't be getting any update on the waitlisted/submitted applications.

Meanwhile, I'll be retaking the GRE on 16th February to boost my current score of 322 (155V, 167Q) to 330.

I'd like to know if I pay the deposit now and later on I'm able to add 5-6 points to the current score, would I be financial assistance package at Carlson will be reconsidered for higher scholarship?

Thanks in advance.

You may have to deposit to secure your place. However, I am not sure they'd enhance the scholarship, even with a slightly higher GRE score, after they have already announced it for you.

All your applied schools are in the similar cohort. Not to discourage you, but unless you have submitted vastly improved essays in R2, not sure if Rice and McCombs results would be any different.

Hi Jeffery! Which school would you recommend between Rice (CoA: 100K), Simon (CoA: 50K), Carlson (CoA: 60K) & UC Irvine (CoA: 50K) for Tech PM?
