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
