LSE Finance Programmes Q&A

yezhihai

又要麻烦楼主了，关于PS的问题：

LSE对PS的要求分成三类：

第一类All applicants - please upload a personal statement that describes your academic interests and your purpose and objectives in undertaking graduate study. If you are applying for a Master's or diploma programme this is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the selectors. Please describe your academic background, strengths/interests, ambitions/research interests. If your chosen programme has more than one stream (e.g. MSc Social Research Methods) you should indicate which stream you are interested in following.

第二类：
     If you wish to be considered for a 1+3, 2+2 or MRes programme

第三类：If you are applying directly for MPhil/PhD

我想申的是MFE和 Master of Finance 是否只按第一类要求准备就可以了？准备时还应注意什么？ 

OX 对PS的要求很简单，就是说说未来的五年计划和MFE能如何帮我实现，我想问的是：这是不是太少了？您觉得还应该加些什么比较重要的？（听说去年有人在PS里写了股票定价模型），非常感谢

你好！我上个月已经申请LSE的MSc in Finance了，后来学校给了一个链接，是申请奖学金的。并且说越早越有希望拿奖学金。我最近实在是忙，而且那个奖学金申请就像申请大学一样填在线表格还有一篇PS,很花时间

我想问如果被录取，以前学生得到奖学金可能性大不大？如果没什么可能，我就不花这个时间了 。

谢谢

LSE的申请系统说没有INTERVIEW啊, 你是说OXFORD MFE?

Hi Heslaw

I graduated from University of Western Ontario from Canada this year. GPA: 3.78/4, and am working in a small hedge fund in U.S. i passed cfa level 1 this June and am planning taking level 2 exam next june. I am considering applying for LSE's master in finance program as well. I just start preparing the application recently: have to take Gmat, and write P/S. Any advices regarding my situation and my likehood of getting into the program? As i read your classmates' profiles, they all have outstanding resumes.

Another quesiton regarding the job hurting prospective for 2010, any insight for what will happen next year?

Lastly, since most internships are duirng summer, do you have any ideas when and where should we find internships?

Thanks in advance.

Best of luck for your job hunting!
