University of Virginia (UVa) MS in Accounting 项目答疑&就业情况总结（楼主已毕业）

我想请问，UVA提供奖学金么？我在填写网申的时候看到有Departmental Financial Aid Form需要填写。貌似还有2篇essay要写。是不是国际生都不给奖学金的？那这个表还要填么？谢谢！

给啊。要多写essay。我没有写。不清楚给多少。没问过。呵呵

有，我从来没有问过别人这个问题，这属于个人隐私。不过我知道有人拿到。申请那个肯定不会影响录取结果，这个我比较肯定，呵呵

提供奖学金，但因为UVa是公立学校，奖学金竞争会很激烈。不影响录取情况。很多同学都有graduate assistantship，每小时工资蛮多的，数目我忘记了，因为我没去申请哈哈。

Hi LZ,

I am applying for UVA 2013 MSA-Taxation, but got a 630 on gmat just recently. Do you think I should retake it for a higher score? By the way, I graduated from a US state university in the past June and my GPA was 3.86.  Major in Accounting and Finance. I currently work in a small public CPA firm and will take the CPA exam in the next 10 months.

Thank you in advance. I am so grateful for your sharing!

Hello cd0304,

UVa has some of the best professors in the country. Pro. Maloney, for example, wrote Southwestern Federal Taxation textbook. He is THE BEST TAX PROFESSOR you can find on this planet. I can assure you that you have made a wise choice to apply here.

I personally think your GMAT is good enough considering your background. However, it's a competitive program to get in so don't take my word for granted. You should definitely check with an admission officer and Ms. Candelier should provide helpful information.

Standardized test score only tells you so much about the capability of an applicant, and I know McIntire, as a top-ranked professional business school, understands that. Besides, your excellent undergrad GPA already speaks for your academic ability. What the school values most is communication skills. Also, when you communicate with McIntire admission officers, on the phone or via email, do demonstrate your professionalism. I am sure you are familiar with the way accounting firms hire people. To me, McIntire application process was just like public accounting firm interview process, except a lot more laid-back. Your work experience in cpa firm should give you a huge advantage. If your goal is clear-i'd say it is cuz you are applying to the tax track-there's nothing that can stop you from getting into this program. Good luck.

Elvisxiyu,

I appreciate for your speedy reply. Yes, I have the same feeling that I should focus on my resume and essay now instead of taking a second GMAT, since the deadline of November 15^th is right around the corner. If I failed my application, it would not just due to my GMAT score but also some other things in my application package showed that I was not fit into the program. I want to give myself a try and have some interview experience first, if any.

Yes, I want to focus on taxation and Southwestern Federal Taxation was the textbook we used in college. Based on what you say here, I think I will definitely go for the program!

I have been having conversations with Molly Baker thru email and have not contacted Ms. Candelier. But I will take your advice and ask her. Is there anything you want me to pay attention on the resume and essay?

Again, thank you so much for the sharing. I learned a lot.



Best Wishes,

1. Molly Baker is a very nice person to talk to. Ask her or Ms. Candelier about what they think whether your GMAT score will undermine your chance of admission.
2. If your goal is to get into big four, there are other programs out there that provide great opportunities. I recommend Wake Forest and Notre Dame as well. Univ Sounthern Cali (USC) has a dedicated MS Taxation and should also be a good choice.
3. I recommend a class visit, if time allows you to do so.
4. In your essay, really focus on why you want to study at McIntire. Make sure you provide some solid reason reasons, such as Maloney wrote your undergraduate tax textbook.
5. I had my interview before I submitted my application. I am not sure if such arrangement is common, but you can always schedule an interview with Cathy Fox via email.

Again, good luck!

1.I just emailed Molly about the concern about my GMAT score and am waiting for her reply.

2.Big four is my short-term goal. I am actually on the ND’s website and working on my application. I may not apply for USC since I am in CA and want to go east and have a different life experience.

3.I wish I could visit UVa. I know there will be class visits in the next few days…

4.Yes, I will definitely add Maloney as my interest in it.

5.I emailed Cathy couple days ago and asked her whether my English Language Test can be waived. She told me to submit my application and all other requirements. After reviewing these documents, she will decide whether to schedule an interview… May I ask you how you got your interview opportunity before submitting your application? Did you just ask her?




I think it must be very late over there in UVa. I should not bother you anymore today. Thank you so much for all the help!! God bless you!

lz好！关于先修课的问题，我本科是有修过会计I，II和财务管理，但和UVa要求的还是有差距，想问下如果6门先修课里4门都没学过会不会影响录取呢？谢谢！
