太感谢了！
估计是被HX了~
那MSF就总共两个concentration咯？~
有米有关于这两个方向的具体介绍呢~
谢谢LZ！！

回lsMM，课程都列上面了，还要啥具体介绍啊，顶多就是一些冠冕堂皇的描述性文字啦。 根据课程上看，一般选investment，课程设置说实话比以前高级了。挺好的。

问题不大。
Hofstra还有点定位低了。
可以稍微试试排名好的学校，也许不太介意你的GPA。但Hofstra肯定没问题 只要你的材料做的合理不出差错。

那个  那个  我T83  G600 GPA 3.6   我很喜欢Hofstra呢   我想申MSA  我的成绩够吗？？

虽然不算很有优势，但基本应该满足条件了，不出现意外，大概有7成以上的把握。
