I am looking for suggestions on the best schools where I would be a competitive candidate for a scholarship (this will probably be one of the most important decision factors for me)..Hi mj800, First agreed nice stats but also you need a compelling story for why you seek an MBA. But in terms of where to go for scholarships- look at this list for the best MBA fellowship offering schools: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/photo-ess ... holarships
And so what I would do is apply to the top ranked schools on this list- including Columbia, Yale, Michigan, UTAustin, Dartmouth, UVA, Kenan-Flagler and you are likely to get a full ride at one of these schools that gives out the most $.
To really be sure to stand out- it helps to craft your narrative in the most compelling way- and we do that with our candidates. So if you want a free consult to learn more about how we can help you even more, you can reach us at:https://stratusprep.com/free-consult/

Below is a quick summary of my stats:

- 5 years financial analyst/sr. analyst position at major commercial RE brokerage firm.
- GMAT: 760 (Q48,V47)
- 3.4 undergrad GPA from top 25 school
- minor volunteer experience since college
- URM (Mexican - first generation)
- Should have good to very good recommendations.

My initial list of schools I am thinking about applying to are: Booth, Kellogg, McCombs, Jones, Stanford and Haas (mostly because of their locations)...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
