I am studying GMAT and learning how to write letters of
recommendation (LoRs), admission essays, personal statements, letters of
purpose, and so on.
Why?
Because I want to earn a 2-year Master degree in Finance
aboard. I am thinking about the United States, Canada, and Europe. I want to
leave my country in August 2014.
I used to dream about getting an MBA degree. Dream changed. If
I keep staying in Vietnam for 3 or more years, hoping to gain experience for MBA, I will
not be able to leave. Other responsibilities and expectations need to be
handled.
Now I want to be trained and taught in a specific area. I choose
Finance since I want to work for investment banks or become a reliable
financial analyst after graduation.
My GPA is low, my TOEFL score is not too high, my estimated
GMAT score will not belong to the top 10%, my working experience is
unimpressive. Under those conditions, I am not expecting any merit-based scholarship.
I only pray to find a suitable school that is willing to
accept me. US, Canada, Europe (except for England, since they can only provide 1-year Master programs)
Yet, it is still so hard.

It's hard to get a scholarship for an MBA degree in the USA. But you can secure a full scholarship in others. My friend with a undergraduate degree from Foreign Trade University won a full scholarship in public policy, partially related to finance. Diversify your objectives. Good luck with your plan!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the helpful advice. The reason why i want to study Finance is that I would want to become a financial analyst after graduation. Listening to your advice, I will diversify my options. Thank you :x.
