It seems like the HBS finaid calculator is only available to admitted students. Would anyone be kind enough to put my rough numbers in and see what it says? I may need to commit to a R1 school and I know super presumptuous of me to assume I could get in but hoping that knowing about the money just in of itself will help me commit elsewhere. Tysm!

You can work out a pretty good estimate based on where you fall in the income/assets range for HBS matriculants.

The average scholarship is $46k/year for the ~45% of students receiving an HBS scholarship.

So if you fall in the top 55%, you can expect pretty much zero in financial assistance. Whereas if you’re in the bottom 10%, you’re looking at ~$75k. And then tack on more for URM.

Does anyone know how much does it impact your calculator if you say you own an asset? I own an asset but I gain nothing from it as my parents live there (its just registered in my name). I was told by admissions team that in that case the early calc estimate wont be correct.. I mean great but that doesnt really help me at all. Im from eastern europe so I should get scholarship due to low income compared to US but if they have this setting that if you have an asset u get 0 its totally unfair.

Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)
