The uniqueness and inventiveness of the University of XYZ in international business programs impressed me. Perhaps, your business school offers the best courses in international business and more so the best learning environment (Peterson’s).

My undergraduate degree forms the basis of my preparation in pursuing my MSc in International Business at the University of XYZ (Peterson’s). As an undergraduate student in business law, I had a chance to study in the United States at Northern State University. The business classes developed my desire to major in international business. At St. Cloud State University, I was awarded the Academic & Cultural Scholarship for my academic performance and cultural diversity. I continued with my Bachelors degree at St. Cloud State University from which I graduated with a G.P.A of 3.32.
Apart from my studies, I placed a lot of emphasis in extracurricular activities. I contested for the post of Senator of Student Government and won the elections. Moreover, I represented approximately 1,200 students on campus in the upcoming legislative period. In fact, I became among the few international students elected to the Senate. Being a Senator provided an incredible opportunity to perfect my public speaking capabilities, and more so to exercised oversight and allocated the university’s multimillion Dollar budget. The President of the St, Cloud State University, later awarded me with the Outstanding Performance award for being an excellent leader.
I also lead by example in various organizations mostly related to studying business. Furthermore, I volunteered as counselor to serve people with disabilities in both U.S and Ireland. This specifically prepared me to help those in need. I believe that the University of XYZ fully matches my values, skills, interests, and qualification. My plan is to be part of a global business arena, a plan that I will achieve by undertaking my Masters of Science in International Business at the University of XYZ. I am honest, hardworking, self-driven, a team leader, and organized. I am anxiously waiting to be part of the University of XYZ.
