Why does the number of applicants from China decrease year by year? And it seems the same to the applicants from other regions.

It has been like this in every top B-school: the economy boom in U.S. during 1999-2001 made more applicants from all over the world applying to U.S. schools during 2001-2003, however, with the recession in 2001-2003, job markets were bad for every school, no matter if it is a Magic 7 or a top10, thus making applicant pool shrinking between 2003 and 2005. But MBA application is back to be a tough year this year with the recovering U.S. economy and more applicants. I believe that the competition will be tougher for the next two years.

  I went to Sanfrancisco for business trip last month and visited Berkeley in which bachlor degree is  necessary for someone to get admission and Stanford that does not think of bechlor degree as necessary factor.

Hope to get your help.

Not sure about the answer, suggest you contacting Ms. Cheryl Jones at

jonesc@darden.virginia.edu

Cheryl is the assistant director of Admissions, and she visited China a couple times, very friendly to Chinese students.

前段时间我们还接到DARDEN ADMISSION OFFICE 的信, 说今年录取的学生最后决定要来的超过了往年,也就是YIELD RATE 很高, 所以他们建议那些想在现在工作上在干一年的申请人可以推迟一年入学. 但我估计没什么人会推迟一年的, 所以今年入学的学生数量肯定要增加.

Very hard to get a full scholarship unless you have previous entrepreneur experience or great leadership. But  for Chinese students (http://www.darden.virginia.edu/financialaid/intMeritSchol.htm), there are zero to one Dean's Scholarship (50% tuition), one China Scholarship ($5000/year), one to two Franklin Family Scholarships ($10000/year) and a new scholarship provided by a Darden Alum  (full tuition waiver for one student from Chinese background, http://www.darden.virginia.edu/news/2006/072606ChengScholarship.htm).

请问：GPA不高对申请这些奖学金影响大吗？

I believe top b-schools value all your other merits besides GPA.

To echo on Steven's point, I believe Darden is not a school weight too much on GPA and GMAT. Your experience, your leadership quality, carries more weight. That said, please do not be confused, you still have a better chance to get in and get scholarship if you have higher GPA/GMAT.
