罗切斯特大学Simon商学院官方答疑又又又又帖来啦~
各位同学们大家好,我们是今年罗切斯特大学西蒙商学院Admission Office 的Admission Ambassador,分别来自MS Finance, MS Accountancy专业。去年的时候,因为看了我们Admission Office的Graduate Assistant的介绍觉得特别好,所以今年也开了同样的帖子。 (去年的帖子请戳链接:罗切斯特大学Simon商学院官方答疑帖2015-2016 :http://forum.chasedream.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1231962&fromuid=1242054 因为觉得去年的帖子已经介绍的比较完整,今天也没有过多的变化,我们在这里就不再赘述。主要是分享一下我们的学习生活感受。并且如果大家对Simon有什么好奇的,感兴趣的请贴上自己的问题,我们都会尽量回答。
(3/15/2017 紧急更新)
由于#美东大暴雪#我们R4的申请截止日期也从2017年3月15日延期到2017年3月19日的11:59pm(美东时间)。只要在3月19日之前申请都会被作为class of 2018的R4考虑。还有想要申请的同学抓紧时间啦!
(2/2/2017 更新)
这次更新要给大家带来两个好消息! 第一个是Simon的MSF专业在今年转变为STEM designation了。相信大多同学都知道STEM对于留学生的好处,除了原来的一年OPT外,留学生还可以多续2年工签。转为STEM后我们中国学生在美国不需要H1B抽签就可以工作三年。STEM designation从2016届开始,也可以想象以后留美的alumni的数量会大大提升。
第二个是今年Simon在各个机构的排名都有一定程度的提升,特别是在Financial Times of London的world for finance排名位列第二。 FINANCIAL TIMES OF LONDON - No. 2 in the world for Finance (Jan. 2017)
- No. 5 in the world for Economics (Jan. 2017)
- No. 5 in the US for pre-experience MS in Finance programs (Jun. 2016)
一下摘自我们dean给我们的email
“... In specialty rankings, Simon is 2nd in the world for finance and 5th in the world for economics. This improvement in the rankings continues to move our School in a positive direction. In the last year, the percentage of domestic applications has increased by 40 percent, total applications have increased by 24 percent, 79 percent of Full-Time MBA students accepted jobs by graduation, and 95 percent accepted jobs by three months after graduation...."
[size=14.6667px]第三个是我们目前有开两个官方的admitted student 和prospective student 群组。这两群是admission office为了让远在中国的同学更好的了解simon。 前者除了每周regular的Q and A session外,我们也会积极的邀请这届的学长学姐以及学校的staff做嘉宾来帮助同学们全方位的了解simon。后者是为了让还在申请simon的各位更好的准备申请步骤等。
[size=14.6667px]请有需要的同学可以私信小编加微信,并在加微信时注明需要进那个群组,若是admitted student群组请在附上full name和申请时的email address方便我们核对。谢谢大家的谅解!

[size=14.6667px]最后祝大家新年快乐! Welcome to Simon!

Answer for Frequently Asked Questions
之前看到大家对于application ddl还有发面试都有很多疑问,于是我集中问了Maureen,以下是她给出的答案。
并且!!Maureen现在也在线,希望大家有什么问题积极提问。如果你没能及时提问,此贴和微博一直有效哦,随时给我们提问。
1. In the website, it notes that first round decision date is Dec 15, 2016. So student wonder if the school gives offer early than that or only by that date?
关于offer发放的时间
We cannot guarantee a decision prior to the notification deadline for each round.
2. Does school give out all the Round 1 interviews? Or students will still have the chance to receive an interview in round 2, 3 etc even they submit for round 1 deadline?
关于round1 interview 的时间
There is a possibility to receive an invitation to interview up until the notification deadline of each round, when you are guaranteed a decision by.
3. Does student need both TOEFL and IELTS for the application or either one will be fine?
关于雅思也托福成绩
You only need one and we accept both! We prefer above a 100 on the TOEFL (with sections in the mid 20’s) and a 7.5 or higher on the IELTS (with sections 7.0 or higher).
4. This question is from an MSMA candidate and he/she wonder the possibility of admitting into this program with a sociology background. But he/she did note that he/she has taken some quantitative courses during undergraduate study.
关于MSMA申请背景
We will be looking to see some quantitative course work in your background, but certainly accept students with all different academic backgrounds. It will be helpful to also gain some related internship experience in the industry you are interested in. *You can direct them to view the program class profile which gives more information on academic backgrounds (for example here is the MSMA Class Profile: http://simon.rochester.edu/programs/full-time-ms/academics/programs/marketing/class-profile/index.aspx, you can see 34% came from a Humanities and Social Science major).
关于各种社团和活动更新
因为MSF小编目前在两个社团里面活动(Simon Investment Club 和 Simon Venture Capital Fund),所以趁这个时间给大家一些insight。
Simon Investment Club:学校之前应该是有三个不同的finance club,但今年全部并成了一个Simon Investment Club.每周二中午都会有regular meeting,会邀请speaker或者学生做pitch。其他活动还包括stock competition, pitch competition等。
SIC在每年9月份左右都会公开招收新的analyst,分为investment banking division 和equity research division。Investment banking division 目前是只要有兴趣都可以自愿参加,在周二的例会给大家分享你的M&A Pitch。Equity Research division选analyst时要先提交你的一个比较简短的pitchbook,然后有一个15分钟左右的面试。
小编现在在equity research division当analyst,建议如果对这方面有兴趣对的同学可以积极参与。值得一提的是,今天equity research team刚组成了一个advisory board,里面的成员都是Simon Alumni,已经在行业里工作了很久。
不论是advisory board还是team里面的MBA都会给你提供很好学习经验。
Simon Venture Capital Fund:
正如这个fund的名字,这个fund是偏向于做VC投资。9月份到10月份也会进行新的analyst的招生。然后会根据人数把所有人分配到不同的team做不同的deal。一般一个team的组成是一个MBA leader加两个MS student。当然MS学生也可以直接申请senior analyst当team lead,今年就有好几个MS学生比较有经验直接当了lead。
组成team之后,小组就会对不同的business进行evaluate然后决定投不投资。也可能是之前已经投资过的star-up然后进行follow up的投资。
