13fall msf申请， 背景typical，求选校指导

听枫

211财经院校，金融专业，平均分87，专业课的可能还好一点；
T：113， 口语26，写作满分
G：720+5
实习：四大一个，工行一个水的，国内水券商一个
学术：大学生科研创新有一个国家级立项但是还没结项，论文会争取在申请前发了
活动：平时的活动真心不多……就是在学校里的一个校级组织当过宣传部部长，然后学院的晚会做过主持人

目前对定位感觉很模糊啊……top 50的学校就满足了不知道如何啊……另外如果把G考高一点考个750会有帮助么？再找关系增加一点实习会有帮助么？如果推荐信找一个不熟悉的美国的教授来写会有帮助么？

跪求定位和答疑

Hello my friend.  While your GPA is a bit low, your TOEFL and GMAT make up for it.  Is there any chance your GPA will be higher at the time when you graduate?  If yes, that would be ideal.  Great that you will have a paper as well.  But yes, you are in range for a top 50 school.  Most likely you will find yourself in schools ranked 25-50.  If you have any idea where youd like to be in the US, that could be a powerful way to start to narrow down some schools.  I would also consider extra-curricular activities.   Remember, schools accept PEOPLE and not just PROFILES, especially when it comes to Chinese candidates.

Hope this is helpful for you, and do let us know what more we can do to help you my friend!

Thx soooooooo much~~~
BTW, actually I realized that my GPA is 87/100, but i'm afraid i can do nothing more about it.
Also, I've decided to take GMAT test again and try my best to get 750+.
As for locations, my first choice is definitely Boston, also I think Chicago or Baltimore is good, too. Well, I admit that's because I basically  have no idea about other places.


Since my GPA is a bit higher, do you think I'm a bit more competitive?
Furthermore, how much does paper count in this process? Esp. my paper is not that quantitive.

-- by 会员 听枫 (2012/8/3 11:18:50)

Hey there!  Thanks so much--happy to answer all your questions of course!  Once you get a 750 on your GMAT, your GPA wont matter much anymore.  : )   Your GMAT will be so high, there could be NO further questions about your academic credentials.  And as you know, there are plenty of great programs in Boston, Chicago--only one or two in Baltimore, but you should be just fine in the top 50 for sure.  Would you consider California?  UC Berkeley, UCLA--these are GREAT programs, and once you have your new GMAT you will have a shot at all of em.
Papers DO count, but they are not critical. For the sciences they are more critical--we have worked with folks with NO academic credentials in finance, but they still get in.  Why?  Because they have great financial skills--and schools are confident that they can get JOBS upon graduation.  That is the name of the game.

Hope this helps--good luck my friend!

Wow~That sounds really great~
Well, UCLA was once my dream school but I really thought I don't have much a shot of it, not to mention Berkeley.  Well, in this case I suppose I'd better focus on GMAT test now~Your kind recommendation is definitely a great comfort to me~Thx again my friend~

BTW, what about UK? Do I have any shot in applying LSE or ox? I know these are really top universities, but I really like Britain and I'm afraid other schools have really not much reputation in China.

只能说Jon Frank一直是MBA思路，完全不了解MSF，UC系统里只有Santa Cruz有一个应用经济和金融，剩下的没有一个学校有MSF，伯克利和UCLA都是MFE，LZ基本是申不了的；

LSE和牛津都是有机会的，LSE从录取的角度讲可以申A&F/MRR/管理学这种不是最火的专业

-- by 会员 Karmalot (2012/8/8 11:51:39)

Haha thanks for the kind note my friend.  Actually, we do a TON of Masters in Finance work every year.  And yes of course there are quite a few programs in this family, including Master of Finance, Master of Financial Economics, Master of Quantitative Finance, Master of Economics, etc.  As you read the post we responded to more carefully my friend, you'll see that the person whom we are trying to help did not specify which of these programs to target.  (We will send folks to each of these programs each year of course...and MORE!  : )    IN fact just last year we worked with a kid (with more...challenges in his profile) and we sent him to one of the programs we just mentioned.  iece of cake my friends.  Anyhow, we do appreciate your kind comments though!  And we appreciate that you too are trying to help applicants, just as we are.


Thanks for the note, and keep in touch!

中财不是GPA 4.5分制吗？好奇LZ的87/100是怎么算的？成绩单上有的吗？

-- by 会员 路仁迦 (2012/8/6 10:24:52)

在选课系统上查询的时候把网站地址后缀怎么改一下什么的就可以看到分数的，然后学校的教务处开成绩单的时候好像是可以开百分制成绩的

-- by 会员 听枫 (2012/8/6 12:21:03)

膜拜一下大牛校友。顺便说一句网站地址改后缀已经行不通了。

-- by 会员 wyyavv (2012/8/14 16:58:13)

嗯已经不行很久了……不过以前看过么……然后有一个帮忙算GPA的网站读出来的是分数的~话说我还默默的纠结挂了一科任选课到底严重否……不敢删的我是不是直接写上去然后解释我为神马缺考了比较好……居然被一门一分的任选搞得心神不宁……

嗯哼，我也发现回去一看UBC和UCLA有MSF的说，我本人是很诚恳的觉得MFE是不可能的……我觉得我也学不了所以完全木有这么想过……


嗯看来LSE可以申的专业也应该好好了解一下的说~

谢斑竹大大~

P.S.: A&F是accounting and finance？

-- by 会员 听枫 (2012/8/8 15:08:35)

是的，英国很多学校都是Acct和Fin不分家，LSE的Fin/FEcon/Fin&E都是大热专业，录取率很低，其他几个会容易一些，管理学我觉得基本能中（只不过是两年的）

加州倒是有一个CMC有MSF，很牛的文理学院，中国人超少，不过不妨一试

-- by 会员 Karmalot (2012/8/8 15:16:11)

嗯啊~thx
诶管理学是两年的话我反而觉得不错啊多呆呆才比较有机会多和外国人接触networking嘛

美国的话一直比较新心水的学校感觉都不是很有戏……
UIUC是不是即使除了工作经验的问题因为六月开学所以本科生就很难呢？
我心心念念的BC木有工作经验是肯定不行的了我放弃了……罗村的话我有没有机会呢？
冲高的话想努力一下brandis的maief毕竟是两年的项目，然后就是最近对hofstra比较感兴趣的说

至于那个CMC……我一直看见坛子里有人说但是一直不知道到底是个什么学校啊……中国人超少是不是因为中国人录取率很低呢

-- by 会员 听枫 (2012/8/8 15:22:53)

罗村和Brandeis挺有机会，BC不用考虑，UIUC非常难，但是不是6月开学的问题（有不少招本科生的项目都是6月就开了），hofstra估计最后不会落在你的选校list里

CMC就是全美第九的文理学院，加州名气很牛，但是比较local，不太喜欢国际学生吧，之前只见过美本，去年开始有CDer（大陆本）去，今年申请人挺多的（因为去年有帖子宣传这个低调的牛校），属于非常难的。

宾州的Villanova类似，which is one of my favorite MSF schools in the U.S.

-- by 会员 Karmalot (2012/8/8 15:28:05)

看来我还是要加油继续好好做school research~
嗯我是比较像毕业之后再美国工作几年然后再回国来的说，所以刚才搜索论坛看到这个CMC貌似placement很好的样子所以开始产生了兴趣，但是又觉得有可能是因为这个学校大部分都是美国人和美本的学生？不知道真正的大陆过去的学生怎么样。。。话说罗村如果混来就业肿么样呢，我觉得罗村毕业直接在美国找工作应该很难吧，但是罗村应该是比较学术的说，要是我不想读phd的话读罗村会不会不太合适捏

-- by 会员 听枫 (2012/8/8 15:41:10)

不少学校也是为了保证就业所以喜欢要本地甚至本校的学生，但凡中国人多的地方都很难说留美怎样怎样吧，看自己努力了；CMC国人的就业我不了解，本身也没几个人去，但我觉得至少这类学校留当地还比较有保障，去其他州也会很难。

罗村学术强本身是好事，学术圈知名度和课程水平本身都有保证，这并不会因为你不想读PHD而拖你的后腿。就业可以参考这贴：http://forum.chasedream.com/Master/thread-685937-1-1.html

-- by 会员 Karmalot (2012/8/8 15:50:06)

啊看到这个帖子真心觉得安心了很多啊~一直觉得罗村蛮好的，就是听说career servie不是很好所以很担心，不过现在想想果然还是学校只能提供平台剩下的还是要靠自己~恩无论如何这个应该是我会申请的学校之一了~

Hello my friend.  While your GPA is a bit low, your TOEFL and GMAT make up for it.  Is there any chance your GPA will be higher at the time when you graduate?  If yes, that would be ideal.  Great that you will have a paper as well.  But yes, you are in range for a top 50 school.  Most likely you will find yourself in schools ranked 25-50.  If you have any idea where youd like to be in the US, that could be a powerful way to start to narrow down some schools.  I would also consider extra-curricular activities.   Remember, schools accept PEOPLE and not just PROFILES, especially when it comes to Chinese candidates.

Hope this is helpful for you, and do let us know what more we can do to help you my friend!

Thx soooooooo much~~~
BTW, actually I realized that my GPA is 87/100, but i'm afraid i can do nothing more about it.
Also, I've decided to take GMAT test again and try my best to get 750+.
As for locations, my first choice is definitely Boston, also I think Chicago or Baltimore is good, too. Well, I admit that's because I basically  have no idea about other places.


Since my GPA is a bit higher, do you think I'm a bit more competitive?
Furthermore, how much does paper count in this process? Esp. my paper is not that quantitive.

Hey there!  Thanks so much--happy to answer all your questions of course!  Once you get a 750 on your GMAT, your GPA wont matter much anymore.  : )   Your GMAT will be so high, there could be NO further questions about your academic credentials.  And as you know, there are plenty of great programs in Boston, Chicago--only one or two in Baltimore, but you should be just fine in the top 50 for sure.  Would you consider California?  UC Berkeley, UCLA--these are GREAT programs, and once you have your new GMAT you will have a shot at all of em.
Papers DO count, but they are not critical. For the sciences they are more critical--we have worked with folks with NO academic credentials in finance, but they still get in.  Why?  Because they have great financial skills--and schools are confident that they can get JOBS upon graduation.  That is the name of the game.

Hope this helps--good luck my friend!

Wow~That sounds really great~
Well, UCLA was once my dream school but I really thought I don't have much a shot of it, not to mention Berkeley.  Well, in this case I suppose I'd better focus on GMAT test now~Your kind recommendation is definitely a great comfort to me~Thx again my friend~

BTW, what about UK? Do I have any shot in applying LSE or ox? I know these are really top universities, but I really like Britain and I'm afraid other schools have really not much reputation in China.

只能说Jon Frank一直是MBA思路，完全不了解MSF，UC系统里只有Santa Cruz有一个应用经济和金融，剩下的没有一个学校有MSF，伯克利和UCLA都是MFE，LZ基本是申不了的；

LSE和牛津都是有机会的，LSE从录取的角度讲可以申A&F/MRR/管理学这种不是最火的专业

-- by 会员 Karmalot (2012/8/8 11:51:39)

嗯哼，我也发现回去一看UBC和UCLA有MSF的说，我本人是很诚恳的觉得MFE是不可能的……我觉得我也学不了所以完全木有这么想过……


嗯看来LSE可以申的专业也应该好好了解一下的说~

谢斑竹大大~

P.S.: A&F是accounting and finance？

-- by 会员 听枫 (2012/8/8 15:08:35)

是的，英国很多学校都是Acct和Fin不分家，LSE的Fin/FEcon/Fin&E都是大热专业，录取率很低，其他几个会容易一些，管理学我觉得基本能中（只不过是两年的）

加州倒是有一个CMC有MSF，很牛的文理学院，中国人超少，不过不妨一试

-- by 会员 Karmalot (2012/8/8 15:16:11)

嗯啊~thx
诶管理学是两年的话我反而觉得不错啊多呆呆才比较有机会多和外国人接触networking嘛

美国的话一直比较新心水的学校感觉都不是很有戏……
UIUC是不是即使除了工作经验的问题因为六月开学所以本科生就很难呢？
我心心念念的BC木有工作经验是肯定不行的了我放弃了……罗村的话我有没有机会呢？
冲高的话想努力一下brandis的maief毕竟是两年的项目，然后就是最近对hofstra比较感兴趣的说

至于那个CMC……我一直看见坛子里有人说但是一直不知道到底是个什么学校啊……中国人超少是不是因为中国人录取率很低呢

-- by 会员 听枫 (2012/8/8 15:22:53)

罗村和Brandeis挺有机会，BC不用考虑，UIUC非常难，但是不是6月开学的问题（有不少招本科生的项目都是6月就开了），hofstra估计最后不会落在你的选校list里

CMC就是全美第九的文理学院，加州名气很牛，但是比较local，不太喜欢国际学生吧，之前只见过美本，去年开始有CDer（大陆本）去，今年申请人挺多的（因为去年有帖子宣传这个低调的牛校），属于非常难的。

宾州的Villanova类似，which is one of my favorite MSF schools in the U.S.
