Syracusse Whitman MBA 2010 !

Hi guys,

No thread for 2010 so... I thought I'd let everyone now that Whitman is not offering any financial aid over 20k for first year (non-renewable) no matter what your profile is. This is something that the admin staff told me in an email. Good thing I wasted $$ on sending my GMAT score to them :banghead:

If financial aid is something you take into consideration when choosing a B-school than you might wanna reconsider the Whitman MBA Program.

Hi ... I have got an interview from syracuse for fall 2010 ...anyone in the boat ?

Congrats Inder ... Any idea on what is the criteria for scholarship at whitman ?

Hey Ronny..

No idea abt d criteria.. but i had a general statement which said : "In recognition of your outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated leadership potential, I am pleased to inform you that the Financial Aid Committee at the Whitman School of Management has selected you to receive one of our merit scholarship awards. "

Hey Raj,

Rajaran,

Hey Inder ... I got an admission decision today ... but it did not mention the scholarship amount ... did you receive the scholarship details with your admission decision or it was sent later in a different email.

In the email that I have received, they have asked me to contact some rick to know more details about scholarship amount.

btw, did u submit your financial documents yet ?

Hey Ronny.... CONGRATS man!! Whr u located?? r u takin syracuse for sure??

Regarding schols: U can mail Rick.. he takes care of the schols.. he'l tell u d schol amt tht they have decided for u..

Regarding Financial Verification: U can ask Patricia regarding the financial documents or lack of them.. i had submitted a letter from the bank at d time of fees submission which was accepted.. U can feel free and mail both the people concerned..

Hope i have answered ur queries!! Congrats once again man!!

Hello Inder ..I am located in Phoenix, USA ... working for an indian IT company ...

right now I have admits from Thunderbird and Syracuse, and an interview invite from George Washington, D.C.... If I am through with GW and if they provide any schols i will prefer GW .... but syracuse is also equally good ... schol from syracuse will make it even more attractive for me ...

I have mailed rick reg that and waiting for response ... I have yet to arrange for the financial certification...

I am planning to go to NY and have a look at the whitman mba personally .... will keep you updated....cya

Congrats Ronny!! Lemme know how ur Washinton interview went!!

U can send me an offline on GTALK as well.. congrats once again!!:grin:

thanks inder ... did u send ur financial proof ? how much amt do we need to show?

the website mentions : For 2008-2009, international applicants must demonstrate financial viability of approximatly US$45,334 of support.

as we have a schol of $16000, we need to show proof of $45,334 - $16000 = $29334?
