论双学位能否弥补本专业之不足？

中大之光

楼主本科专业非财经，属于管理类，但是修了金融学的双学位，总共45个学分，包含：微观经济、宏观经济、货币银行学、证券投资学、保险学、公司金融、金融统计、商业银行业务管理等等课程，平均分87分。但是楼主本专业GPA刚刚3.0，且由于特殊原因（上个帖子有讲到）两门数学课给了60。楼主在想把双学位成绩单提交上去，不知道能不能弥补一点本科课程背景呢？

我觉得不太行...因为和你情况类似，本专业才是主要的，本专业一样的情况下，你有双学位才是优势...

yes.

to be precise, the course you had taken matters, but not the title of your degree.

but in reality, ad com may not have the time to look into it very detailed at the very first hand, so adding a relevant title does help.


P.S.1 well, indeed a finance major, or finance degree, no matter it is bachelor or master, wont help too much for finance PhD application. you maths and econ background is way more important. (of course things is a bit different when talk about accounting and corporate finance side of it)

P.S.2 for your two 60 marks basic maths score, just tell your story you mentioned here in your PS, and if you have tons of good grade in other advanced math course, ad com will believe it.
normally, getting just one course with a very poor grade, and this poor grade is inconsistent with the overall good reason wont make much harm to the overall profile. 人食五谷, 有病太正常了.....
the key point is.......you need something stronger to show that it is just bad luck instead of really cant handle it.
e.g you are a math major student, you get a C in real analysis, but you get tons of A / A- in 5 or 6 other pure maths course, then the ad com will believe that you are sick on the exam date.
if you are a econ major students, you get a C in real analysis, and you don't have other adv math course, and you get tons of A / A- in 5 or 6 other advanced econ course, then the ad com will believe that you are not capable to handle those advanced abstract mathematical proof.

对于美国人来说本科学位不分主次，都拿到学位的话就是dual degree.
不过你这些课对于申请phd来说也没有特别大的意义…不过当然还是附上吧。你要是数学计算机统计物理之类的双学位那就作用大多了

谢谢各位的解答~楼主现在正在攻读金融硕士，想请教一下大家对于申请Phd in Finance，公司金融领域需要数学学到什么程度呢？楼主目前只修到几率模式和随机过程这一级别，分数在85到90之间。
