Nope it does not. It leaves you with abt 12k to be paid per yr to the college as tuition. And if u use you GA sal of abt 8k for it, You have to shell out abt 4k per yr for college. Living expenses would be additional.

Congrats. Do join the FB group.

Admitted with GA + Scholarship.

Class of 2011

Full-time graduates 71
Full-time graduates known to be seeking employment 58
Full-time graduates employed at graduation 60.3% - Medium
Full-time graduates employed three months after graduation 87.9% - Medium

Base Salary: Foreign Nationals

Low base salary: Foreign nationals $60,000
Average base salary: Foreign nationals $86,700
High base salary: Foreign nationals $110,000

Signing Bonus: Foreign Nationals

Low signing bonus: Foreign nationals $4,000
Average signing bonus: Foreign nationals $9,500
High signing bonus: Foreign nationals $15,000

Other Compensation: Foreign Nationals

Low other compensation: Foreign nationals $2,500
Average other compensation: Foreign nationals $9,375
High other compensation: Foreign nationals $18,600

To add to the stats:
Full-time graduates employed at graduation-60.3%

Although the final figure (after 3 months) is the critical figure, this stat is also dicey.

Upside: School will put all the efforts in the coming years and the benefit will be availed by the students joining the school in the next couple of years.
Downside: Overall reputation takes a hit. Drastic drop in one ranking is one thing however drop in rankings consistently across different rankings is definitely a matter of concern.

Is this gonna change decision of other prospective students in any manner?

USNews 2013 rankings are out
After the drop in the latest FT rankings, Tippie has dropped several places here as well
Tippie is now at #49 :(

Hey puys,

Done with my interview . It lasted for about 40 mins. Just some general questions like why MBA and Why Tippie. I was interviewed by Ms Coleen Downie.
I was told to expect a decision in about a week. So fingers crossed.

Cheers!!

Hey Rahul,
That was a quick decision mail!!you mustve done very well in your interview..i had my interview on the 16th...waitn for a decision now..

I can tell you its covering a MAJOR part of my expenses. Inspite of being a 2 year program, in the end it might end being cheaper than ISB :D

Any school in US if offers u more than 70% waiver will end up being cheaper than ISB*..

*assuming you take a loan for ISB

@House
No offcial info on how many have been admitted but going by the number of members on the FB page, i believe there are still bright chances for more admits.

Hey rahul,
Congrats on your admit:D. I have an interview scheduled on the 24th of this month. Lets see how it goes. Do you guys have any info on how many have already been admitted? Since Tippie's got a small class size am lil bit skeptical about my chances...
