I asked the Gies admission people directly. One thing to mention is, I applied for October, but to apply for the scholarship, you apparently need to apply for either the fall semester by early May, or apply for the spring semester by early October. I did neither, so to attempt it, I would need to withdraw my application and try again for spring. He also said: "Our scholarship is need based and very competitive."
Has anybody here actually gotten the scholarship? It seems unlikely that I would get it, but of course, reducing cost by 70% is appealing. I would need to pay for another application, wait a few extra months, and jump through a few extra hoops like probably getting my recommenders to recommend me again for the new application. I am thinking it's not likely enough to pay off to attempt it, but I have nearly no data to go on for that decision.
