Program Finance and Investments/ Accounting Admission Stockholm School of Economics(SSE)-Accounting and Financial Management (50%tuition waiver) Rotterdam School of Management(RSM)-Finance and Investments Advanced (EUR6,000 Merit based scholarship) Michigan State University-Accounting Purdue University-Accounting Rejection None Test Score GMAT 690 TOEFL 106 Education BS in Accounting at National Chengchi University（现在大四） Decision Rotterdam School of Management-Finance and Investments Advanced Why Netherlands? 1. 大学时听到去荷兰读MBA学姐的留学分享，自此对荷兰印象很好 2. 据交换的朋友表示英文很通，虽然要在当地就业的话还是要学荷兰文 3. 毕业生有12个月在荷兰免工作签证的找工作时间，甚至在一定期限内可以自己决定这 12个月要何时开始 4. location Application package 申请文件基本上差不多，大致如下 Application Form, CV, GMAT, TOEFL/IELTS, Motivation letter (for program and scholarship), Recommendation Letter RSM的motivation letter写起来比较不同，总共4题，每题限制1000 characters，大概写 200 words左右就满了，我一开始看错写成1000 words，不过这也帮助我真正精链 motivation RSM FIA Introduction 关於RSM的介绍板上有满多的，我主要介绍FIA program。我原本申请的是FI，後来收到学 校的信说GMAT分数高於一定标准，问我要不要update motivation申请FIA，如果没上FIA 会再把我放回FI；据我所知除了申请FI的学生外，MiM的学生也有人收到信。 FIA program今年(2017 fall)是第二届，申请方式分为3关，第一关先符合学校各个分数 的minimum(如GPA、TOEFL等)，第二关筛GMAT分数，第三关是面试；面试完後学校会把符 合录取资格的学生用GMAT/GPA排序，小班制program收40人；第一届均分GMAT 712，GPA 8,4。 FIA时长比FI多4个月，共16个月。课程内容与FI的差别就是多了一些career training、 financial trip，program跟一些公司有合作，另外还要实习(要自己找)。一些program资 讯都可以在RSM FIA的网站上找到：https://goo.gl/Qd1Sid 面试 RSM强烈建议学生飞去当地面试，但对亚洲学生来说为了30分钟面试飞过去真的有点奢侈 ，所以我是采用skype面试的，以下是学校发给我的面试通知 "The 25-minute personal interview with the FIA Selection Committee will be con ducted using the "STAR" interview method. You will be interviewed by both acad emic and admissions staff members and we will focus on your motivation to part icipate in the programme as well as key competencies we look for in students f or this specific programme. You will also be asked specific finance related qu estions. Please Note: Directly following the interview round all applicants will be ranked based on their performance in the interview and academic record (GPA/GMAT). The best applicants will be selected to participate in the programme. Candidates who meet the admission criteria but are ranked lower will be put on a waiting list and offered alternative admission to the regular MSc Finance & Investments programme." 因为我自己的教育背景是会计，对Finance领域的专业知识没有很多，我准备Finance专业 问题的方式就是重读财管跟初会重点章节，背一些计算公式等等，再上网找一些MS Finance的问题来准备。 以下就我的面试题目做分享 1. Why you chose RSM? 2. Do you apply finance program in other schools? 3. Why you choose RSM instead of SSE? 4. Experiences in teamwork 5. What is your interpersonal skill? 6. What is your weakness? 7. What do you think advanced program can help you with that weakness? 8. What did you do when you have conflicts with others? 9. What will your internship supervisor recommend you? 10. What will your internship supervisor think that you need to improve? 11. What do you think the future financial trend may be? 12. I don’t find any international interaction in your CV. Do you have any in ternational interactions/exchanges? 13. What courses do you have in financial field and statistics? 14. Have you learned about Statistics 15. Have you learned about linear regression? 16. Do you have any questions for us? 17. How will you finance your master expenses? 面试官有两个，都是Advanced program的教授。我的面试并没有问到专业问题，我猜是因 为自己本身不是finance背景的，不过据我所知，finance背景的同学专业问题包括：请选 一个金融概念并解释、解释Black-Scholes公式、BS公式有哪些假设等等，跟我在网路上 查到的都不一样，个人觉得很凶残…. 此外，面试也会就motivation letter上的内容询问，一个同学写了因为fascinated with the gorgeousness of Finance就被问到什麽是gorgeousness of Finance然後想冲 回去给过去的自己甩两巴掌了… Others 其实一开始在SSE和RSM FI中非常摇摆，SSE课程2年，学校的reputation非常好加上是我 喜欢的小班制教学，另外又拿到半奖(我还写信问了学校有没有机会拿full scholarship ，但学校表示今年没有给full 的名额)，真的让我很心动。但後来考量就业与价格因素後 ，忍痛断舍离SSE，等等看RSM能不能拿到FIA面试机会，收到面试其实满讶异的，毕竟 GMAT低於标准20分，而且对於还要面试真的心里满挫的。另外我觉得推荐信真的很重要， 简直把我从中场踹进球门，能拿到奖学金我觉得也有泰半是因为推荐信强度很大，有机会 的话还是要让教授记住你。 以上，申请的学校比较非主流，主要是美国比较贵，我不想背这麽多债，另外是对荷兰 有一个非常好的印象。申请的过程真的受到非常非常多人的帮助与无私分享，不管是板 上或是朋友、系上、教授、未蒙面的学长姐等等，希望藉由我的心得能对於有志申请MS的 学生有所助益！ --
