B-schooled podcast episode 44.

Essentially: CALL (harder for them to say no than over email). Be polite. Reiterate interest in school and say you are conflicted because of scholarship at xyz competitor. Ask if there’s anything that can be done.

Most schools have instructions on this. Otherwise just reach out to your admissions contact and ask them for the process. It’s really not complicated

Most schools have a template or instructions on where to email/submit an appeal. In my email I reiterated why the school was my top choice, but also mentioned that I had an offer at a different school that was also great for what I wanted to do. They were able to match so I thanked them and put my deposit down

I am a VP with compensation of ₹48Lpa in India. Have an offer of €65K in Germany. The German offer is at a lower position and lower compensation as I do not know German (as yet) and senior roles would require client interaction (German clients).

I see it as an opportunity to get my foot into Germany on a EU Blue Card and then look for something better once there.

I am in a non-IT role.

Any thoughts?

Once you've been accepted, can it be revoked if you decide to quit your job? Or to put it another way, barring acts of infamy/legality/stupidity, is there anything I could do that would endanger my acceptance once received?

I kind of want to spend some time with family and travel a bit before an mba and if I get notified in Dec, I'd like to use the time I have in between on myself. I'm fine with losing out on pay, I made some smart investments that money is not the primary issue.
