Ideal Applicants:
For MS program:
If you apply straight from the completion of an undergraduate program, I would recommend that you have a solid quantitative background. The program uses a lot of quantitative analysis tools, especially statistics and econometrics. Familiarity with certain computer language such as VB or software such as SAS is also helpful. The program is ideal for someone who wants to start a career as a risk analyst or data analyst in the insurance or risk consulting industry. The program is also ideal for someone who sets actuary as their professional goal and wants to pass one or two actuarial exams upon graduation.
For MBA program:
The recommendation is that you have a few years of full-time work experience prior your application. You see a functional role of managing risks or providing consultation on corporate risk management policy as your career goal. Good English communication skill is highly recommended, but the school has excellent ESL program to help you get ready for your degree.
Application, Tuition and Financial Aid:
To start an application, please click here:
http://www.stjohns.edu/academics/graduate/tobin/prospective/apply_online.stj
Online application is recommended for the Risk Management programs in order to get a timely review on your application.
Tuition and Fee:
The current tuition for Risk Management degrees is $880 per credit. General fee is $150 per semester. Insurance fee is $846 per semester. If you plan to live on-campus, the room and board expense is approximately $5,000 per semester.
Financial Aid:
The Zurich Chinese Scholars Fund provides full coverage of costs associated with three Chinese students attending the one-year MS program. This fund starts in 2008 and ends in 2010. Therefore, students interested in the Risk Management program are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
Each year, MS and MBA Risk Management programs also grant two merit-based graduate assistantships respectively. These assistantships give full-tuition coverage and a monthly stipend.
The annual AXA 911 Scholarship grants four risk management students with awards from $7,000 to $10,000.
Each year, the

关于成绩单是否可以email
OK, here is the answer:
You can email your transcripts to Gerri Wojno at the Graduate Admissions office for review only. You will get a conditional admission based on copies. But you still need to mail you original transcripts once you graduate and receive that from your school in order to transfer the conditional admission to admission. All transcripts will eventually go to Gerri Wojno, so please email to her instead of email to Rebekah or Jennifer. Gerri's email address is: wojnog@stjohns.edu.

About
Many applicants inquire about Zurich Scholarship and GA. The scholarship and GA offers are separate from admissions decision and they will be reviewed and assessed by Rebekah.
The Zurich Scholarship is for Chinese students only, but the GA, you will compete with students from other countries as well.
请问工科背景可以申请Risk Management Program 吗?
请问 这个The Zurich Chinese Scholars Fund 除了考试成绩以外,对申请者的背景有什么要求吗?
非常感谢你的分享!
请问现在申请还有没有机会拿奖?
谢谢~
好帖
希望更多的国人拿GA
可以。不过请问
1 你是不是想在保险或金融投资行业发展?
2 你有没有计量经济学和统计的基础?(当然这是可以通过修课或自学来弥补的。)
如果你本来就是保险专业的,并且有一定的学术积累(比如论文发表等等)对申请这个奖学金会有很大的帮助。当然这也并不是绝对的。因为这项奖学金的评定是综合考察各种素质,择优颁发的,因此候选人需要通过招生委员的面试。

The Tobin College uses a rolling admission policy. Applications are acted upon once they are complete. While the College makes every attempt to advise candidates of missing application items, the application process is self-managed, and it is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that all materials reach the Graduate Admission Office in time for a decision to be made for the upcoming term.
Our recommended deadlines are:
For Admission to the summer or fall term - May 1
For Admission to the spring term - November 1
For those that want to be considered for a Graduate Assistantship - March 1
Applicants to the MS in Management of Risk Program are only eligible for fall admission.
Students applying from countries outside of the United States are advised to apply well in advance of these deadlines, owing to the longer timelines required to process credentials and make visa arrangements.
3/1前申请还赶得上奖学金的deadline.

想问一下楼主,如果没有GMAT成绩的话能不能先申,之后再补GMAT成绩呢??不知道这样还有没有机会被那个奖学金考虑呢??这样有可能申的到吗??
帮我同学问的,他想申Risk Management, 其实他其它条件挺好的,就是还没有考GMAT.
谢谢楼主了^-^
我今天已经收到了MSA的AD,一封E-mail,三封附件,没有提奖学金的事儿,只说申assistant的话还需进一步联系和等待,请问这是说我奖学金没戏了吗?
Applications are reviewed once the whole package is received and admissions decision will be given 3-4 weeks after applicaion submitted. So the time an applicant receive an admissions decision is determined by the date he/she submits his/her entire application. RM first round of admissions decision starts sending out now.
那如果托福成绩也要之后才能提供呢??也可以之后再提供吗??
谢谢楼主了
已经开始发AD了.RM的今晚我拿到了.
不过没提钱的事,请问下发奖和发AD是同一时间吗?
我也回EMAIL问了.不过还是在这里提问一下.谢谢
终于开学了,可以回去开成绩单,但是还有个问题,
财产证明如果爸妈是sponsor,是不是要去公证处公证啊?……要求affidavit of support + proof of income + Bank statement?
我看那个“how to get I-20”都看晕了,大家是怎么弄滴呀~?
Yes, you can apply without I-20. The ISSSO send you I20 application package to your achknoledgement so that you know what you should prepare if you get admitted.
1. Affidivat: fill out the form and ask your parents sign the affidivat in front of a notary officer.
2. Bank statement: request it from the bank.
3. Proof of income: if your parents are your sponsor, they should get the proof from the Human Resources/Accounting/Finance/Treasury department of their company.
Submit your application first. If you can get a tentative transcript from your school for the last semester, do so. If not, submit the transcrpit up to your latest semester for review and when you get the transcript for your last semester, complete your application with that.
Please follow-up on a regular basis, for example, once a week, with Geraldine, on your scholarship and admissions status.
辛苦辛苦!感谢楼主悉心的回复!
我收到的AD要求3周内将回复函发过去,我想问一下,这个回复发过之后4.15之前还能够反悔吗?还是发完之后就表示确认了,之后反悔会被US高校集体封杀?
学校要求我寄大四第一学期的成绩单,可问题是我大三就把所有课程都修完了,还比规定的多两分,现在就差论文而已了,那怎么和学校解释呢? 大四第一学期我压根没有选课,就更不用说有成绩了
1、在application on line时发现那些格子都好短……电话号码甚至major都写不完,这个问题该怎么解决呢?是否一定要通过网申?
2、关于那个国际学生要填的visa申请比较疑惑,能否稍微解释一下,该怎么选择
3、现在申请Risk Management的master项目的奖学金应该来得及的吧,估计明后天能拿到包括第七学期的成绩单
4、如果是申请奖学金还需要财产证明吗?
谢谢lz啦~~~
刚收到st john's的AD,请问今年会计系的就业怎么样呀?
正在和另一个学校比较中,
我发EMAIL 告诉我的第7学期成绩,这是她的回复:
I CANNOT ACCEPT SELF REPORTED GRADES. If you have access to view your classes and grades online through your school web-site please download it and send it to me. If it is only in Chinese, you must also send an English version.
这是说我把我查成绩的网址告诉她吗? 但我们学校的只有中文版, 要怎么办???

同问,我跟你遇到同样的情况,回复几乎一字不差~

About TOEFL: with IBT 100 or better, you can be exempt from Language courses; scores less than that have to take the English Proficiency Test.
If you had a degree from an institution in US, you can be exempt from TOEFL score; otherwise, you have to take TOEFL again and let the test center send the original copy to the school.
I think what she means is that you should send her the Chinese version AND translated English version. You may use a translation company to do that for you or you can translate the Chinese transcripts into English by yourself. But either way, you should have your school seal on the translated transcripts.
Hope this clarifies your question.
As far as I know, the school is bind by the 4.15 rules for acceptance offer of admission and financial aid. But in case of St. John's school policy, my personal suggestion is that you write to Gerri for an extension of the decision period.
Here is the details of the 4.15 rule "That the currently prevailing procedures dealing with the offering and acceptance of financial aid are intended to cover graduate admissions as well as offers of financial aid. To protect candidates against the need to make premature decisions, graduate programs should allow applicants until April 15 to make final decisions. "
AND some tips for accepting an offer:
Accepting an Offer
We suggest the following procedures in helping you to make a decision:
1. As soon as you have two offers, decide which is the better one for you and politely refuse the other.
2. Repeat this comparison and decision as you receive each new offer.
3. Terminate the process as soon as you get a satisfactory offer from the school you prefer. Accept that offer verbally and in writing and advise the other schools of your decision. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness in opening the way for another student.
4. On occasion you may be pressured to accept an offer before April 15. In the event that you have accepted such an offer, you should be fully aware that you have the right to resign the original acceptance before April 15 to take an alternative offer.
5. When you have voluntarily accepted an appointment, even prior to the April 15 date, do not take your obligation lightly. You are committed to that acceptance. Attempts to be released from an agreement may spoil your reputation with all of the institutions involved and with your sponsors.
申请的queens校区,已经拿到ad,但那边回信说"GA positions will not be offered until after May 1”. 怎么这么晚啊,往年都是这样吗?
1、在application on line时发现那些格子都好短……电话号码甚至major都写不完,这个问题该怎么解决呢?是否一定要通过网申?
2、关于那个国际学生要填的visa申请比较疑惑,能否稍微解释一下,该怎么选择

4、如果是申请奖学金还需要财产证明吗?
谢谢lz啦~~~
1. Online application is highly recommended although it is not required.
2. Fill out F1 visa or Student visa.
3. If you submit your application online, you can make it before March 1.
4. If you are offered a scholarship, you may still need proof of funding for partial of your living expense to get your I20. But this is not the issue now.

请问一下楼主
我的托福97 gmat也比较低只有610 gpa 3.5 有一年多的期货从业经验,有可能拿到ad么
我是24号收到AD for RM。 我按照你说的方法给他回信问需要什么文件才能申请ASSISTANTSHIP 或者Scholarship. 他还没有回我。然后我就发了问Manhattan那边关于奖学金什么时候可以出来,他说三月第一个星期就会出来。 我想问以我的背景申请到奖的机会是多少?
GRE 1250, T 97, 有两次银行实习经验,有个数模奖,GPA3.7 学校非重点。
Hi there,
If I would like to visit Murray street campus and talk to Admission people and maybe 1-2 professor, what would be the best way to arrange this? I am an actuary currently working in downtown NYC, and I am interested in the Zurich scholarship. Thanks, you can PM me.
同楼上问 但我是问MS-RM的 资金证明
谢谢LZ!
我收到MSA的AD,请问LZ,1.资金证明要开两年的吗?2.答复信和资金证明等材料可以寄到同一个地方吗?还是需要分开寄呢?谢谢

请问一下楼主
我的托福97 gmat也比较低只有610 gpa 3.5 有一年多的期货从业经验,有可能拿到ad么
Yes, admission is possible. But if you want to compete for scholarship, I would recommend you to retake your GMAT (try to score over 680) and TOEFL (try to score over 100) and wirte an impressive essay stating clearly about your goal.
我收到MSA的AD,请问LZ,1.资金证明要开两年的吗?2.答复信和资金证明等材料可以寄到同一个地方吗?还是需要分开寄呢?谢谢
1. No. One year.
2. Separate. I20 application goes to international student office and admission acceptance letter goes to admissions office.
1. One year.
2. Wait till May may delay your visa application, since you need I20 for your visa interview. It is recommended to apply for I20 ASAP. But if you can secure a visa interview before August, it is perfectly fine to wait till GA decision comes out. Again, it's all about timing and your own planning.
同楼上问 但我是问MS-RM的 资金证明
谢谢LZ!
1. I believe no.
2. MMR can be filled out by a local clinic when you arrive US. Please double check with ISSSO.
I just got the following notice from Rebekah. Please be aware of this schedule:
1. Because of high application volume and because School of RM wants to give applicants with high profile equal assessment for scholarship opportunities, the scholarship assessment will start from now and the designation of scholarship will be from the end of March till the beginning of April. Zurich scholarship will be assessed and interviewed in the first week of April. Again, it is holistic assessment, so applicants will be evaluated based on their TOEFL, GMAT, GPA, Work Experience, etc. GA positions will be designated in the first week of April also. Both Zurich and GA are merit-based scholarships.
2. Students with concerns about 7th semester transcript please notice that you may email Rebekah to explain your situation and reason why you may not obtain the transcript now so that you will still be reviewed for scholarships.
3. Applicants with high profile will be simultaneously evaluated for other merit-based scholarships such as STARR, Thompson, etc. whose grants range from $1,000 to $7,000 at the same time when they are being assessed for Zurich and GA. If an applicant is awarded more than one scholarship, he/she will only receive the one with higher grants. That means, awards are not cumulative and any remaining awards will go to the next qualified applicants.
4. Applicants who want to attend on-campus visit to Manhattan campus, please email Jennifer Torres at torresj@stjohns.edu for an appointment.
你在北京么? 北大校医院是有个医生可以添的
以下是引用emmaw在2009-3-11 11:42:00的发言:
看到别的学校要求交定金,st. john's有这要求么?MMR健康证明的表怎么填啊,可以找个医生帮忙填么?还需要医院的盖章吗?
May I ask the reason why you want to do two masters? And what majors are you interested in?
I am sorry, but which program you applied? If it is risk mgmt., the admission decision has been sent out for some time already. Please submit your transcript to Rebekah asap and ask her about your admission status.
May I ask the reason why you want to do two masters? And what majors are you interested in?

请问MM风险管理的AD是MBA下的还是MS下的呢?MS IN RM好像不用52个学分这么多吧?
lz Manhattan的MSRM奖学金到底是什么时间会出来啊。我发EMAIL问过有时候说3月 有时候说4月, 急啊。另外
我还想问LZ是不是所有学生在ORIENTATION 时候都被要求take language test,来决定是否要上language courses.
请问MM风险管理的AD是MBA下的还是MS下的呢?MS IN RM好像不用52个学分这么多吧?
你好,我的是MBA ,所以需要52个,MS大概是30多个吧.
另外问下LZ,这52个学分是2年之内修完的么?还需要修其他的课程吗?
请问LZ,回复了STJ说去之后,还能反悔不去吗?
RM,ACCOUNTING
prefer do masters in two majors to do PhD in one major
Well, if you have good reason, you can do that. The school will respect your choice.
请问LZ,回复了STJ说去之后,还能反悔不去吗?
It's your choice. STJ will respect your choice. But I highly recommend you think twice before you accept the admission so that you won't get into the frustrating situtiation to revoke your acceptance.
I assume you applied to the MBA program? If that's the case, $880 per credit *52 credits=$46,000.
你好,我的是MBA ,所以需要52个,MS大概是30多个吧.
另外问下LZ,这52个学分是2年之内修完的么?还需要修其他的课程吗?
1. Yes.
2. Maybe not. You have to talk with the academic advisor when you arrive on campus. You may need to take more courses or have some courses waived after talking with the advisor.
lz Manhattan的MSRM奖学金到底是什么时间会出来啊。我发EMAIL问过有时候说3月 有时候说4月, 急啊。另外

1. April.
2. If you score over 100 on your TOEFL, I think you don't have to. Please refer to my previous response for sure.
No, I definitely didn't mean that you won't get admitted. If your whole application package has just been finished, it is highly possible that a decision is not made yet. As I said in my previous response, the evaluation for scholarships is postponed till April. But please followup with either Jennifer or Rebekah about your scholarship status.
