US MBA Admissions with GMAT 560

[taapu]

Hi folks!

I'm writing to all those folks who are in despair after scoring 560 in GMAT. I reassure you guyz, 560 is not a bad score. With this score, I've got admission offer from International Business School, Brandeis University, Massachusetts, USA for MBA fall 2008 entry. What is most exciting is that they've also offered me 50% tuition scholarship (USD 18,336/year). If that was not enough, they also offered me a 10 year 5% fixed rate loan which will contribute another 33% of my tuition. I'll start paying off the principal and interst 6-months after my graduation.

In other words, I'll have to pay only 17% of my tuition and all other living costs from my own pocket in 2 years.

So, no worries, people! Prop up your Essays & Recommendation letters, and you'll also see wonders as I do.

I hope to provide you with some tips on crafting your Essays & Rec letters soon.

Good luck.

Yes, GMAT is only a small part of the package. I know of a friend who scored 570 and got admitted to University of British Columbia, Sauder Business School.

Brandeis is also a nice university and you should be doing well.

Well, I have a 650 on my GMAT and I am getting acceptance from almost everywhere I applied.
