WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY

***Not all clients are included in this as some of our clients have requested redaction of their testimonials due to- life changes and not pursuing MBA, plans to reapply with a new score, privacy etc. Testimonials of clients who don't wish to align themselves with the purpose of the MBA Conquerors- stated on our homepage (to support people and pay it forward) have been removed upon their request as well. Our commitment to the purpose of paying it forward remains strong and while given the level of services we provide, many people choose to avail it despite a misalignment, we still serve our duty as an admissions consulting company but only respect their wishes to not provide to the future generations. There are more than 10 of those but as you can see there are more people willing to provide in the slider below. Testimonials are not voluntary and are a hard requirement under the terms of service at MBA Conquerors.

AWARDS RECEIVED BY OUR CLIENTS
Below, you will find the cases for scholarship negotiation success for many different schools.
​
Note that not all schools negotiate, schools such as Harvard Business school and others have need based aid for admits!
CASES
From $0- $100k+
Case 1: Leveraged negotiation
Our client had no scholarships ($$ zero) from Georgetown, and we managed to push it above $100k in three weeks. The client had leverage from a few peer schools. The client had three other competing offers but were not as high in scholarship amount to get Georgetown to exceed it.
​
​
Case 2: Deleveraged negotiation
Someone came to us after putting down the deposit and had already used one leverage - promotion- to negotiate but did not get an increase. Later ended up getting a $20k extra scholarship through our deleveraged negotiation tactics.
Case 3: Deleveraged negotiation
Our client was waiting to convert the priority waitlist for Tepper which was not converting anytime soon and Georgetown was the only other offer. Based on deleveraged negotiation tactics we managed to get him more than $60k (nearly touched $80k mark).
And many more cases like them!!
From $0- $120k+
Case 1: Leveraged negotiation
Our client had no scholarships ($$ zero) from UNC and we managed to push it above $80k+ in two weeks. The client had leverage from a few peer schools. The client had three other competing offers but were not as high in scholarship amount to get UNC to exceed it.
​
​
Case 2: Negotiation through stronger applications
Someone came to us with zero scholarship from Berkeley and $120k from UNC. Berkeley refused to fold but while the client chose to go to Berkeley, a substantial amount was available to be negotiated in his hands.
Case 3: Leveraged negotiation
Our client had NYU with no scholarship and USC with full tuition and UNC. While he chose to go with USC with full tuition, similar increase was available at UNC had he not chosen to go with USC.
And many more cases like them!!
From $40k+- $120k
Case 1: Leveraged negotiation
Our client had some scholarship from Emory Goizueta initially and competing offers with peer schools whose scholarship was much lower than that of Emory. Pushing it above $100k itself was a challenge but we managed to get it to a $120k.
​
​
Case 2: Scholarship through strong applications
Our client from South East Asia decided to take a leap of faith in MBA Conquerors for their full applications to schools in T20. Despite a below class average GMAT Score, we managed to get $45k in scholarships for our client. He also secured admits from other peer schools.
And many more cases like them!!
From $0-$30k+
Case 1: Deleveraged negotiation
Our client had admit from Duke Fuqua in EA with no means to negotiate a scholarship as the EA round was binding and Duke requires people to withdraw from any other schools than choose Duke, but our client managed to negotiate a significant amount from Duke while getting scholarships from USC, UT Austin and other peer schools through stronger applications. But she had to let go of these schools to pursue Fuqua.
From $0-$120k+
Case 1: Negotiation through waitlist conversion
Our client had been waitlisted from UCLA and had lost all hope of converting the admit. While he wanted to convert UCLA, he reached out to us for a dual help- waitlist strategy and scholarship negotiations. While we had anticipated that we would be able to do so, not only did our client convert the waitlist but a whopping $80k was provided in scholarship amount.
Case 1: Negotiation (TLS- Non-traditional negotiation)
As UCLA had exhausted the funds (as they mentioned over an email), they were allowing students to apply for transformative leadership fellows to the select few candidates that gave more incentives. And brought the total amount to $120k
From $50k- Full Rides
Case 1: Deleveraged negotiation
Our client had only $50k in scholarship from USC Marshall initially, but things turned around over a period of 4 months where after relentless negotiations, our client finally got an increase. Coming from Taiwan, it was important for our client to get as much scholarship as he can and just a week before his marriage, he conveyed us the good news.
​
​
Case 2: Leveraged Negotiation failure (client emergency)
Our client who had a leveraged position with lower cost of attendance from another peer school than USC that could have served as a significant leverage for USC but due to personal emergencies, she could not execute on the expected rigour of negotiation and lost a deal that could have been, Such instances are also a reminder than merely having a competing offer will not guarantee negotiation.
Case 3: Leveraged negotiation
Our client had NYU with no scholarship and USC with full tuition and UNC. While he chose to go with USC with full tuition, similar increase was available at UNC had he not chosen to go with USC.
Case 4: Leveraged negotiation
Our client had multiple admits from peer schools and USC with $100k scholarship. Many of the peer schools increased the scholarship to significantly more than USC and our client decided to drop USC as cost of living may have made the cost higher despite USC matching the offer. However, it played a great role in helping negotiate.
Case 4: Deleveraged negotiation
Our client had admit from Duke Fuqua in EA with no means to negotiate a scholarship as the EA round was binding and Duke requires people to withdraw from any other schools than choose Duke, but our client managed to negotiate a significant amount from Duke while getting scholarships from USC, UT Austin and other peer schools through stronger applications. But she had to let go of these schools to pursue Fuqua.
And many more cases like them!!
"No" to Appeal
Case: Negotiation appeal rejection
We have had the highest number of cases where many people from us had an admit from NYU Stern, but they refused to hear any appeals, let alone negotiate, in the past two years. Same was the case for schools such as Michigan Ross.
Note: Before negotiating, making an appeal to the Business schools is the step to proceed. If the appeal itself is rejected there can't be any negotiation.
Non-traditional offer
Case 1: Negotiation (Deleveraged)
Our client had no competing offers from the peer schools to put against Berkeley Haas and had problems executing on the negotiations strategies. Haas was not willing to provide additional scholarships, However, he turned the admit for UNC with $120k scholarship, which was not enough to negotiate with Berkeley as it was not a peer school.
Non-traditional offer
Case 1: Negotiation (Leveraged)
Our client had offers from both INSEAD and HEC. But due to certain situations, was not given an increase at HEC which stayed with 10k euros. While INSEAD gave 30,000 Euros as a need-based aid.
Upon further pushing INSEAD, he was given an opportunity to defer the admit to the Jan-term from Aug-term, giving more time to build leverage. Due to a personal tragedy, our client decided to not continue the MBA that year.
This case also serves as an example of leveraged negotiation failure where just having competing offers will not be enough to get the money out of the business schools.
Non-traditional offer
Case: Negotiation through non-traditional means
Our client had offers from Kellogg and NYU. As NYU refused appeal, our client turned to Kellogg but Kellogg, seeing the deleveraged position against NYU, refused to increased the scholarship.
Upon further push, Kellogg, showed an internal loan option for which select candidates can get a loan from Kellogg at a significantly lower interest rate. As our client was an international student, it was making a substantial difference in savings which was expected to be around $30k.
And a few more cases like these!
$50k+
Case: Scholarship through stronger application
Our client managed to get offers from multiple schools and converted Tepper admit with $50k in scholarships without any negotiations through a stronger application. While the GMAT was below average for most people from his pool, he managed to defy the odds. He also had an offer from Georgetown.
And a few more cases like these!
Resounding "No"
Case 1: Negotiation (Leveraged)
Our client had other offers from the top schools globally and only got about $20k from Tuck. But this was not enough for Tuck and the negotiation appeal was refused.
This case also serves as an example of leveraged negotiation failure where just having competing offers will not be enough to get the money out of the business schools.
Just the offer you need!
Case 1: Negotiation (Leveraged)
Our client had other offers from USC and Ross, UT Austin offered $70K in scholarship and our client got in a major dilemma as Ross refused appeal to negotiate.
This case also serves as an example of leveraged negotiation failure where just having competing offers will not be enough to get the money out of the business schools. Additionally, some schools don't hear appeals to negotiate.
Case 2: Negotiation (Leveraged)
Our client had other offers from T15s and global B-schools ranked #1 in their respective country but UT Austin offered $40k which was not enough for our client compared to better offers and the client refused to negotiate with UT Austin.
And a few more cases like these!
Named fellowships
Case 1: Diversity fellowship
Our client had an offer from Vanderbilt Owen and won the ROMBA fellowship as the member of the LGBTQ+ and Allies. Such a fellowship also helped him in his career and helped him finally make a jump for the MBA.
Case 2: Scholarship through stronger applications
Our client had received $86k in scholarship amount from Vanderbilt but had also received competing offers from peer schools. Upon negotiation, Vanderbilt refused to increase any further. This also marks a case where despite leveraged negotiation, people got nothing from the schools.
And a few more cases like these!
From $0-30k
Case 1: Leveraged negotiation
Our client managed to get a new GMAT Score- 730 to get a scholarship increase to $30k CAD.
Note that Canadian schools such as Rotman (#1 in Canada are conservative with their scholarships)
Case 2: Scholarship through stronger applications
Our client had received a $20k CAD scholarship and multiple other admits including T15 US schools due to stronger application.
Case 3: Leveraged Negotiation
Having competing offers from multiple US Schools served as a leverage to increase the scholarship amount to $25k CAD.
And a few more cases like these!
$58k
Case: Scholarship through stronger application
Our client managed to get offers from multiple schools and converted Foster admit with $58k in scholarships without any negotiations through a stronger application with their own hard work and dedication. He had other higher ranked admits and decided not to negotiate with Foster but the other competing offers would have easily helped him get an increase at Foster.
And a few more cases like these!
