10月底是个什么情况？fall semesters上完了？不是应该到12月的吗

可能没有10月了吧，只是我们这届可以有这个option，你忘掉吧！我们coordinator是这样回答的
“If a student wants to finish the MFin program within 12 months, they have two options:
10 months - Graduate in May, finished by summer, no summer courses
12 Months - Graduate in August, must take at least 1 summer course

Students are required to graduate from the program once they meet the 30 credit graduation requirement and have a culumative GPA of 3.0. This allows students the flexibility to choose when they want to graduate among the different timelines.

Students cannot choose the 12 month graduation timeline without being registered for a summer course as this would mean that they finished all 30 credits by May.

I hope this helps!
Malissa”

楼主的帖子真心给力！谢谢楼主分享~
关于第三部分就业实习情况中的数据，是我目前看到最乐观的，但有两个疑问：
“回答问卷的95%的学生都在毕业后的6个月内确定了自己的full-time工作”，那回答问卷的占总人数的多少percent呢？
还有，“有超过35%的毕业生在毕业的第一年都留在了美国从事full time和full-time intern“，这里的35%是总人数的还是回答问卷的？
（请楼主原谅我这个纠结的人，因为楼主给的数据实在太乐观了，之前最多看到过7%的人找到工作。。。）

10月毕业也帮你确认过啦 是可以嗒~ FYI
“Students can finish the program in October if they have completed their 30 credits and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0. We only have graduation ceremonies in May and December, so while they finish in October, they will not be able to participate in graduation until December, if they want to. Participating in the graduation ceremony is an option, not a requirement.”

This is Nicola Daniel from the Finance Department in the University of Maryland.  I would like to respond to some of the questions that have been raised in this post, and to welcome students to contact me directly with any further questions.

Let me start on the optimistic note that no matter what university you decide to attend in the US, you will have the great experience of being in a new country, meeting lots of new friends, and of deepening your knowledge in a way that you could not do if you stay at home in China.

Nevertheless, it is important to understand the reality on the ground in the US. According to a study by Open Doors, in 2013/14 more than 886,000 international students studied in the US.  By contrast, the US government issues only 65,000 H1B visas every year. Therefore, it is only logical that most students would likely return to their home after graduation and/or OPT year. Please see the link below for the most recent study.

http://www.iie.org/en/Research-and-Publications/Open-Doors/Data/International-Students

The 95% job placement statistics we posted are based on the survey conducted by the Finance Department in the fall of 2014.  The results are based on a 36% response rate, which is considered a high response rate.  While this is not a large group, we can only report the actual information that we captured.

The survey also inquired about job satisfaction.  Over 80% of students reported better than moderate job happiness. That is, they were not seeking other positions.  About 18% of those employed reported that they were still seeking other positions, presumably because they either were not happy, or they did not get paid enough.  These numbers include both students who stayed in the US and those who returned to China.

Finally, to the question of international students, it is true that the vast majority of our MFin students come from China.  However, at the Smith School, you also share the building with 3,000 American undergraduates, and 200 MBAs students.  There are plenty of opportunities to mix with American students, and we hope that you will actively seek out these opportunities.  

I will look forward to seeing many of you in College Park in the fall.  For further questions, please email: ndaniel@rhsmith.umd.edu.  Wishing all the students in China the very best!

Thank you for your kind response and the further information.
谢谢学姐！
