Dear lailajafri, I am MBA finance with 16years of education and i have 2year of experience including internship AM i eligible? if yes what field suits me?

For the Master’s degree program, eligible candidates will have either a four-year Bachelor’s degree or a Bachelor’s and Master’s combination totaling 16 years of formal education from an accredited university. Recent graduates are strongly encouraged to apply, except for MBA applicants, who require 3 years of work experience.

For the Ph.D. degree program, eligible applicants will have a Master’s, M.Phil., or comparable degree (a minimum of 18 years of formal education) from an accredited university. It is highly desirable that Ph.D. candidates have work experience in teaching, research, or the public sector in Pakistan.

Which academic disciplines are eligible?

For both the Master’s and Ph.D. programs, all academic disciplines are eligible, except clinical medicine. Priority fields for the 2012 Fulbright advanced degree programs are:

Energy (all aspects including energy sciences, energy technology, policy, mining of indigenous gas, petroleum and coal resources, hydro-electric power, alternate energy resources, energy conservation, etc.)
Water (all aspects including hydrology, agricultural hydrology, surface hydrology, hydrogeology, drainage basin management, water quality, water resource management, effects of climate change on hydrology, etc.)
Agriculture

Who is eligible for these scholarships?

Pakistani citizens, residing and working in Pakistan, with strong academic histories in all disciplines except clinical medicine are welcome to apply.

In addition to academic work, persons selected for Fulbright programs are expected to share information about Pakistani life and culture with their U.S. colleagues and with community groups in the U.S. On returning to Pakistan, Fulbright grantees are expected to share their U.S. experiences with colleagues and community groups in Pakistan. Successful candidates should be poised to assume leadership positions in their fields and must be committed to returning and serving Pakistan.

I am just done with my GRE with quantitative score of 770/800 and verbal score of 670/800. I want to give a piece of advice to the people planning to appear in GRE.
1- Start verbal preparation at least six months before your intended test date. As it is very hard to increase your verbal score in a short time.
2- Don’t waste your time on GRE vocabulary. It took me six months to learn about 4000-5000 GRE worlds. And this thing is showing up in my GRE verbal score of 95th percentile. BUT everything is changed now. GRE revised does not test your vocabulary level as much as did the prior GRE.
3- Improve your reading skills. Read actively stuff like Business News & Financial News - The Wall Street Journal - Wsj.com and Arts & Letters Daily - ideas, criticism, debate
4- GRE math is very easy to beat…..You can improve your score in just 1-2 months
5- Make a schedule. Do math practice one hour in the morning and one in evening.
6- Start with Barron and move to Nova GRE Bible if you are aiming at 700+
Best of luck

thanks a lot for your piece of advice.
congratulations for a good score.

will you please guide me and others further in this regard.
i mean how have you prepared for that test. your educational background, where will you apply for scholarship, and all things related to that.

your help means a lot for me.

I shall be thankful in anticipations


Regards

Mmmmmmmmm....I prepared from the above sources. I did not do anything extra-ordinary. Just made a time table and stick to it. Remember to include everything in your daily plan. Its far better to study 1 hour for 30 days than to study 10 hours for 3 days...look although you study for 30 hours but the impact of 1x30 will be gr8 in boosting your analytical and other GRE related skills.

I am Mphil Economics, planning to apply USA for a phd program. Admission in a USA usually is accompanied by a generous scholarship. At least this is what I am hoping.

I have also applied for Fulbright program but I am not very hopeful bcoz of my poor grades

imran arif my best wishes are with you.
can you please help me if you know how to apply for hec overseas scholarship, and other thing associated with that. please do share with me the pattern and format for writing a good research proposal.
I got 73 score in GAT, and planning to apply for hec overseas scholarship. my area of interest is mass communication, fine arts, English literature.

thanks in anticipation




Regards

All the information regarding HEC scholarship is available on HEC website. As far as proposal is concerned you can always search google. And if you still need help....I can send you some useful links.

Your GAT score is good. But you seems to be confused about your proposed field. You mentioned three fields of interest i.e. mass communication, fine arts and English literature. You should check HEC website, whether they are offering scholarship in these fields or not. My impression is...English literature is not good for HEC scholarship. There is not much scope of this study in countries offering HEC funding. But you should research...talk to your teachers etc. for guidance. I would choose fine arts (Although I am unsure about your academic background)
all the best and dont hesitate to ask any information
