I checked Fastweb, Scholarships.com most of them require essays (few of them I applied to) and Davenport University (my uni) doesn't have much in-house info. Here are my details.. \n- GPA: 3.6 + (it could be higher as I haven't got the final report yet. Chances of being on Dean's list are high)\n- Sex/race: Minority Female\n- Major: Management (BBA)\n- Academic Year: Junior\n- I may go to China next year (part of study abroad program)

With these credentials, why are you worried about an essay?  It should be short work to write an essay or three and modify them as needed for the individual scholarships.

1. Prepare early and apply to meet the first deadlines.  Download the application packages at some of the b-school websites. Take a look at the admission essay questions. You'll need to do well in this area to distinguish yourself from others especially if you are weak in any other areas.\n\n2. Score will on the standardized test (GMAT).  For top b-schools, you want scores above 650.  Take a Kaplan or Princeton Review class if it'll help.\n\n3. A seperate masters degree will only if it fits well with your career plans.  Personally, I would devote the 2 years on getting better job experience.  This means trying to get a promotion, working at a well respected firm, accepting projects that would develop your experience and skills.\n\n4. I would also talk to as many current students and MBA graduates from the schools you're interested as possible. In your application or essay, you can mention that you've talked to John Doe (Class of 199X) of their business school, it shows your sincere interest in their school. Business is about your network and b-school is no different. The more people you know from these top schools that are willing to speak positively for you, the better your chances of getting in. I would even write to the admissions officers.\n\n5. Keep current with b-school trends. Understand what kind of students they are looking for. Business Week is a good source. Also check out princeton review, kaplan, wetfeet.com, and vault.com.\n\nGood luck!

There are so many scholarships out there and they are not all focused on academics -- many are need-based and others just want to see that you are driven, or are creative, or can write a good essay.  Try FinAid.org's list of "Scholarships for Average Students," here:\n\nhttp://www.finaid.org/scholarships/average.phtml

Rare and waste to look online. You must get a sponsor from your own country. There is no such thing as financial aid for foreigners in the U.S. and scholarships are rare unless you have fantastic grades and background. I'd suggest looking through government sponsorship from your country or work/associate yourself with a company that will pay for your education. It's all about connections. If you live in the U.S. and are a resident then there are better options. If you are in the U.S. you should hit the public libraries and ask for scholarship info. They have books and links.\n\nGood luck!

To be able to help you, I will ask about your country of origin. One thing that you should know is that you will not get a study abroad scholarship in the USA unless you are interested in a four year program or transfering to a four year program. In that case you need to take your SAT score really high, show them that you are a genius and then some of schools may offer you scholarships. Thst is true only for private institutions. Public schools!! just forget about those.\nThe right school will depend on the quality of your application and your ambition. In America you will find schools for every taste. They are located in big cities and some in rural areas, some follow a semester structure, other will choose quarters. Some schools are classroom oriented (research universities), others are more for real life practice, if you know what they mean by that.\nAnyways, you need to answers a lot of questions and I can better help you.\n\nGood Luck

Depends on what college/university you want to go to.\n\nCommunity colleges and Junior colleges are easier to get into.  I would suggest you go to the websites of the colleges/universities that you are interested in and see what their requirements are.\n\nAlthough your GPA is important, your SAT score is also important, along with your extracuricular activities and community service.\n\nMy son just got into a top 10 private university for the fall.  His GPA was 5.81 out of 6, but he had a high SAT score and wrote a great essay with his application.

the first step is to actually apply. i know someone from pakistan who is studying at george mason university in the u.s...he applied took the appropriate tests and came over here..you should expect to have to pay for your plane ticket. there are families over here that would sponsor you and love to have you stay with them, look into "host families" in the u .s. also once you are accepted there are differents grants or scholarships you might be able to pursue, or maybe its possible you could get a grad assistanship. i would first start by contacting colleges and see what they are willing to do. it never hurts to ask.

First of all the chances of getting a scholarship, even with that kind of GPA, are slim. You must be VERY involved in campus organizations, political campaigns, and other community events. Apply for EVERY scholarship you qualify for, no matter how strange it may seem. The more you apply for, the better your chances are of getting some money. Here is an excellent website you can use to find scholarships:\n\nhttp://www.fastweb.com

First of all, it's Philippines. :] Well, good grades always count for a lot. But I doubt that there are a lot of scholarship opportunities here either. But try checking out the websites of Philippine universities and maybe there are some.

my whole town basically tries to go to UGA and i have spoken to a rep from there. i know about their admissions. I think you have to write 4 short essays and they look mostly at your grades and SAT scores. basically they both have to be good. If your grades suck, and you have a super-high SAT, they may not let you in bc you're not a hard-worker. They have a good advertising program i'm sure.

I don't have a copy of mine on hand, but it got me in to saint louis university school of law. I would suggest listing what you have accomplished and what your goals are. Mention your grades, your excitement for learning and list reasons why you are interested in practicing law, etc.\nTruth is, your LSAT score probably has more to do with whether or not you will get in than your personal statement does. I mean, your personal statement needs to be good, but it is not really that determinative of whether you will get in or not. I wish i could be of more help. Good luck.\n\nBy the way, make sure you really, really want to be a lawyer before going to law school. It is incredibly stressful and challenging and you must have true dedication in order to succeed there. It will take up a lot of your time and money so be sure that you are willing to give it your all. \n\nIf you have any more questions regarding law school, just post them on here and I'll do my best to answer them.

I think that Ace Librarian has given you a great answer but it also depends on your background, GPA and ACT are not everything!  I can tell you from experience since I graduated from U of M.
