It's a very easy application process if ever I saw one! And they guarantee financial aid already! To Filipinos! For someone like me who's been agonizing over MBA essays and luckless scholarship searches, this is certainly very welcome news!

Of course, that school I've been accepted to in my previous post is certainly more well-known and highly-ranked than Eller. But this is a very tempting offer... Should I give in?

An aside -- I wonder why they're targeting Filipinos. Is it because Filipinos are well-known to be "global citizens"?
