Hi DD06, I have a similar score and post-MBA goal. What are the chances of a scholarship at Tepper with this score? And what other parameters are weighted in terms of securing a scholarship?

I have been hearing that Tepper prioritises GMAT. I have 680 Q49V34 in GMAT, is it possible for admission, given th efact I am from Nepal and pre MBA I had ben an entrepreneur and want to change my career to Finance ?

Hi Ronilsh, i dont think tepper prioritises GMAT that much, average Tepper GMAT is around 710, but id definitely recommend you to take another attempt and target a score around 720.

Hi there! Congratulations on your score. Based on my experience scholarship is a result of several factors - your score, your story, how you contributed in the the area of scholarship you are applying for. For instance I am a Forté fellow and my story was about contributing to the upliftment of women.

For Indians, do we require to take additional tests like TOEFL etc along with GMAT/GRE to apply for Tepper ?

if the mode of exam and teaching in your undergrad was English and you have an official letter stating that from your university then Toefl Ielts can be waived, I also got a waiver

I had a waiver too, for same reasons that ashuch972 mentioned

Did you face any difficulty in sending recommendations from your employers ?How did you solve it ?

If i have Masters along with bachelors both in same field, Which GPA they will prefer more? My masters is from more reputable University compared to Bachelors

What kind of difficulties are you looking at? Discussing your MBA plan at work, etc? Or something else?
