Editor's notes
- Apply by Nov. 15 if you can. Merit awards keep going only until the money or the seats run out, and Whitman says outright that early applicants get the best shot at them. International applicants have a second reason: the proof-of-funding and I-20 steps take time.
- The test is optional in name only if you want money. Whitman says a score can improve both your admission odds and your scholarship, and a GRE of 320 or a GMAT of 640 also gets your fee waived. If you're near the recommended minimums (GMAT 600, GRE Quant 160), sit the test.
- You get one required essay, and Whitman names communication skills "as evidenced in the application essay" as a factor in its decisions. That makes the essay your writing sample as much as your story. Keep the optional essay for real context, like a GPA below 3.0 or a gap.
