Hello Sir,
I am currently a pre-final year student, I will be applying for HBS 2+2 Program, so I will be appearing for my GMAT Exam this summer 2009 after my pre-final year exams.
So am I eligible for applying for this scholarship?

[beatthegmat]

You may apply, gmat740!

[gmat740]

Thank you Sir for the support, I am really delighted by the way this community is helping GMAT Aspirants like me.
I would be kind of you if you can let me know what specific qualities are you looking for in a candidate for scholarships.

Regards,
Karan

Hello Eric,

I have read the profiles of 2008 Scholarship winners.It would be nice if You can post their essays(although, everybody have their own stories,but just to get the idea of the way an essay is written will give me a better idea to right my own essay)

I am very new to it,may be your advice in writing the application essay can be helpful for me to write even my B-School Application.

Thanks.

[beatthegmat]

Thanks gmat740 for the suggestion. Unfortunately we can't post previous essay responses because many of these winners have used these prompts as material for their actual MBA application essays. Thus, in order to protect their own privacy and ideas, we can't publish.

There are a lot of great resources to help you write your own essays. My favorite is Richard Montauk's How to get into the Top MBA Programs
