Hello,
I am a Bangladeshi student. I am done with O Level, A Level and doing my last 3 credit hours of Internship of my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) program and hopefully will finish this within a month or a bit more. However, as a graduate student I am searching for a scholarship in a good university of UK or UK. I have intended to do IELTS and GMAT for securing the scholarship. But I am not sure for the USA case because I don't know that to study in USA whether IELTS is acceptable or not. By the way, my undergrad CGPA is 3.29 (in the scale of 4) after completing 123 credits (3 credits are being taken as the internship). Please give me some directions so that I can catch the MBA session in a good UK or US university as soon as possible and ofcourse with scholarship. I'll be waiting for your reply. Thank You.

Dear emon999,

Most US business schools accept the TOEFL rather than the IELTS, so you might want to take the TOEFL as well. Scholarships are very difficult to get and usually cover only 10-60% of tuition for US schools. While there are some programs that award full tuition scholarships, there are still other costs; these schools are generally going to be smaller programs outside the top 30. These additional costs can be considerable and cover remaining tuition, fees, books, and living expenses; you need to plan for these costs when looking at your funds available. I'm not familiar with how the UK awards scholarships, so please note my answers only refer to US institutions.

The best thing you can do right now is to secure a good job and work hard to progress in the company over the next 2-3 years. You will also need a high (>720) GMAT, solid leadership experiences, and interesting experiences outside of work that you can write about in your essays.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
