Thnx for ur POV. But1) I know what I'm doing. So nothing is wrong2) Financial constraints are something only an applicant knows3) I believe I have the profile that deserves a scholarship

@WouldBeCrazy said:

If your scholarship amount decides your decision to join a school, something is seriously wrong. I joined a programme without knowing scholarship decision against 10K scholarship and 6K scholarship on hand from two similar schools. In long term, those 10Ks are just peanuts!!If you have offer from better school (in UK that means only LBS and Cran) then no issue but joining a questionable 2nd tier school for fat scholarship may not be a wise idea. Anyway, my POV.

@AK1809Thanks a lot for that info!! I am still in the process of applying to UK Universities.. I have a doubt regarding the visa procedure too.. Would be great if anyone could help - I am aware (as per university visa guide pages and other sources) that one needs to maintain a certain minimum balance (tuition fees + 1 year of living expenses) 6 months prior to applying for a UK T4 General Visa(for MBA). However, I did not find any mention of a requirement (of funds/balance to be maintained for 6 months) on the UKBA website, instead i got that they require us to show a balance of funds for a continuos 28 day period. Could you help me as which one of these two is actually correct - 28 day balance or 6 months balance? I require this info urgently as my dates of feedback are in the next week... Thanks a lot in advance.. would be great if you could help.. Inita

AarYaPaar Says

Hi Guys.... there is a twist in the tale for me... I received an admit from Iese Spain recently... now I have already paid the 1K for MBS ... but the Iese offer is too tempting (even though the fee is almost double .) ... guys what do you think which one should i go for MBS or Iese ..both programs have their pros and cons ... I would highly appreciate any inputs from you guys...

Amazing. I see so many future classmates here :grin:

Anyways, I got an admit from MBS for MBA. I haven't received any schols though.

Are there any external agencies for scholarships, or are there any Indian/UK collaborative scholarships options available?

Kindly also add me to facebook group, probably the questions I'll ask have already been answered in discussions there.

Hi AK

COuld you add me to the FB group?
