Scholarships for business school - GMAT 760

Hello everyone, after a month of crazy study on the 25th I finally took the GMAT and the result was amazing: 760 (Q50 V42). I still can't believe it! Now I have to choose to which schools apply and I'd like you to share your experience with me. My goal is to start a career in IB and except for the GMAT I have a really high GPA at my university (Bocconi University) but I don't any kind of working experience. I also spent a semester as an exchange student at University of Texas at Austin.

Now my doubt is: having a really high GPA I can attend the Master in Finance at Bocconi University which is a really good program but I'd really like to go somewhere else. Unfortunately, to study outside Italy I'd need a scholarship. Do you think I could get some scholarship at LSE, HEC, LBS or at other top-ranked master in finance? Is there any possibility to get a scholarship for a course in the US?

I am looking forward to hear your experiences and what you think.

 

With those numbers, you should be able to get something from HEC. Not sure about the others though. Depending on your nationality and your ability to demonstrate need, you could probably get something in the US as well.

 

you're from Italy but it doesnt set you free from researching programs: e.g. LBS's MFin program

comparing to LBS LSE, Bocconi is much less recognized in the US area. if you want a scholarship, you gotta work at it. If you do master's at the same school, you get zero benefit in alumni networking.

lastly yes that GMAT is amazing, but I'd hope you calm down because you might find it Pivotal ONLY for business PhD programs. this passes requirement everywhere for master's, and it's your time to focus on the full picture.
