think this "umdmba" guy is just making noise for the sake of it ... we all will have only one MBA degree, and only once chance at life as well , there is no room for regrets .... we have to make our decisions with the information at hand and then work hard to make it work.

Everyone, firstly umdmba is not a UMD Student. He is just a prospective student who visited the school. Just putting it out there so that you know how much weight to put on his opinion.

signing out soon
Have not applied to Smith and most probably joining another program, but Just out of curiosity, is the total scholarship amounts to full tuition waiver + living stipend? wont you need to shell out anything at all? TIA and ATB
Buddy, would you care to elaborate why and how accepting Smith has been a decision that you have come to 'rue'. If you are unwilling to identify yourself on a public forum by creating an anonymous account, at least post some data to support your claim. And please also help me and everyone else un...

Hi there. This isn't a UMD Smith fanboi club right? I feel everyone is entitled to his/her opinions and experiences.
Every school has its fair share of disappointed students because they didn't get what they expected. I think it's very important to listen to their experiences and see if these...

Hey buddy ...why are you spreading negative sentiments about UMd Smith MBA, every one has their own perceptions ....

I think if you choose Smith for your MBA you may end up ruing the choice for the rest of your life. You guys still have time to back out.
Hope common sense prevails!

ya, u r right .. thanks for the reply.. was just being over optimistic there is something called a Smith scholar award which gives a GA and a schol on top of it. Anyways, I am happy with what has been given :)
Cheers,

A GA will give you significant tuition waiver and a monthly stipend. If you calculate the savings it would be more than the cash schols
I have been in touch with some current students and alumni. I got pretty decent reviews about the MBA program at Smith but looking at the placement statistics, it seems that the more than 65% of the students are placed in DC. I regard this as a disadvantage as few alumni would be available in res...
Hey Guys ,
I know i am late in joining the thread. Hi to everyone as some of us are gonna be future class mates.
I also got an Admit from R.H.Smith and a G.A. + tuition remission + Schol .
The G.A. is for first year but is most likely to be repeated for the second year. all those who hav...

Hey Pradzy.

I agree. 15K is the max I told. was just over optimistic. However, do every indian get an internship? whats the avg sal they get for interns?
I am not sure ..how you come up with 15K for 10 weeks internship ..believe me I am working in US for last 5 years ..getting such internship is very difficult ...I would say ..think of somewhere around 8k-10K max for the internship ..but if will be some other city ..think of all that other costs ....
Hello my friend,
Thanks for the reply :)
But there is a catch here.. unless I show a concrete proof that I would be able to finish my MBA come what may, I shall not be funded that minimum promised amount by my bank to pay my initial fee.. They will certainly not buy this internship theory..!!!

Through internships you would get around 15K$ which amounts to approx. 7.5 lakhs. You can add that to your second year fee reduction (To be on the optimistic note ) Wish you luck
Nope. Any one else waitlisted ?
Whatz up dude... did you hear from them?
Its been a roller-coaster like 48 hours for me... I gave my Maryland interview late on 22-Feb-2012 and it went on tremendously well. It was more like a discussion than like an interview. Both the interviewer and myself were very satisfied by the end of the PI. As a direct result of it, I think, w...
you got an admit letter as well?? Have you also submitted the "certificate of finance"?? And how long did it take for the packet to come? I mean the lapse between the email and the mail.
Yes ..I did receive the admission packet with all info including financial aid and admissions letter ....but it is exactly the true copy of what you got in email ...just the paperback and official seal :)
Anyways the packet comes in a awesome leather folder ....:)

Hey, did you receive a hard copy of the financial aid letter which was mentioned in the e-mail? Its has been 2 weeks since the financial aid mail which mentioned sending a hard copy, but dint receive it yet.
With the kind of profile you have, it is appalling you have been waitlisted!!
I dont have a concrete answer to your question I am afraid, but why dont you mail them asking it?

If you are not a current student but an MBA aspirant then have you visited the Smith school and/ or talked to current students?
If you have and if you got great feedback I feel happy for you.
Wish you the best in the future.

What you are saying is not even 40% correct. Apart from the fact that Smith is near DC so both Smith and Georgetown have a bit of disadvantage because of federal focus but everything else is great. MBA is more about what you want the it to be...its no engineering. In spite of its federal focus Sm...
You are not correct. There are only 15 students from India in class of 2013 for Full time MBA and you will find these many Indian student- around 10%-12% in most US MBA schools apart from top 10.
same here.. n i guess aid in second yr is subjected to the performance in first yr. No concrete info with me as well.
I also got GA but only for first year , what's the case at your end ?? What about aid in second year ..any idea?
I applied in r2 on 14th Dec 2011 and was invited to interview after 2 weeks or so.
Gave Skype interview on jan 15 ..received offer a week after ...I think they are doing partial rolling admissions this year.
Inputs on Interview ....

Congrats to everyone who got an admit.
I will not be joining the school after researching the school' s culture and talking to some students.
I am pretty sure you guys also talked to seniors and are making a decision after analyzing all your alternatives.
All the best!
