The real, tangible, life-altering rewards that come with earning a Top 1% score
If you’re an Indian applicant targeting a top global B-school, a 99th percentile GMAT/GRE score isn’t just about admission- it’s the biggest lever for scholarships, saving you lakhs and often crores. No matter how strong your profile, a low score quietly kills both admits and funding unless you’re a rare outlier (serial entrepreneur, global leader, unicorn exits, or a Narayan Murthy–level recommendation). At elite schools, merit scholarships, often 50% to 100%+ of tuition, are driven disproportionately by your score. A true 99th percentile doesn’t just get you in; it puts you in the money bracket and fast-tracks $150k–$200k global careers.
