Can I Afford To Attend HBS?

I am graduating from a Ohio college with Economics and Mathematics as majors.  I am from a very middle class familly from India with very limited financial resources. Presently almost 65% of the cost of my study is from the aid my College has awarded me.

My question is, can I afford HBS with financial aid?

The Harvard MBA says:

Fortunately, U.S. banks will be happy to loan you as much money as you need (though you will have to pay them back eventually!).  Financial hardship should not be a barrier to attending or enjoying HBS.

    Unless you have a green card or a US national vouching for you , I dont think a foreign national can get loan from US banks for foreign students —-atleast this was the case when they were giving away money for free —so please let me know if ‘loan ‘ in your case is a possibility.

    Hi. Is there anyway an international student (from europe) can afford a Harvard MBA?

    I’m currently doing my undergrad (junior year) in New York and it was hard enough to get enough loans and scholarships from my country. But I thought that maybe there is a difference between an undergrad degree and an mba?

    Please set me straight.
