I am writing to apply to your Master program in Finance starting in the autumn of 2012.Having reviewed several graduate programs, in consultation with career advisors and finance professionals, I am confident that the XX School of Management has an excellent finance program that best meets my career goals and aspirations.
My interest in finance started when I was in High School because of the film Wall Street. The classic scenes about the Stock Trader made me watch the film without getting bored even one bit. This led me to make a decision to study finance after high school. Unfortunately, I entered the civil engineering faculty. Thanks to the dual- degree program, I had the opportunity to study finance. After a strict selection, I gained access to study financial economics in Wuhan University，which is one of the top 10 universities in China. In order to chase my dream, I sacrificed all of my weekends to study the dual- degree courses. On weekdays, at the same time, I conquered my civil engineering. Because of the long distances between my school and Wuhan University, I had to get up early to catch the first bus. Exhausted, but still in pursuit. With an outstanding academic record based upon a challenging curriculum, I was proud of my achievements. During my studies, I achieved a GPA of 82 out of a possible 100 in the dual-degree program.
Good grades, though important, are not the only indicator of one's potential. In the summer of 2010, I began working as an internship in HUATAI SECURITIES CO., LTD. I helped senior traders cover institutional accounts. As a member of the Trading team, I assisted the senior traders in managing risk, liquidity and exposure. Tracking supply and demand, we constantly evaluated market developments in order to give clients accurate product information. As evidence of the company's appreciation of my team spirit and work ethic, I, together with my fellows, was invited for a dinner by the head of the company.
While my academic career is vitally important to me, so are my extracurricular activities. I like playing tennis, swimming, going to fitness center, which help me thrive upon challenging, fast-paced, chaotic environments.
With my background and extracurricular activities, I have keen business sense, teamwork spirit, and flexibility to adapt to new challenges. This will make me a valued member of the class of 2012
I chose to apply applied to the XX School Master of Finance because of your outstanding educational system, your excellent facilities, and your opportunity to closely interact with renowned experts. I intend to improve my knowledge of portfolio management, financial analysis, hedge funds, volatility and returns prediction. The program's excellent courses on Quantitative Techniques for Financial Economics, Equity Analysis and Portfolio Management and Fixed Income Management are a great fit for my goals. I also hope to get a broader view of finance, improve my academic competence in financial modeling, and gain the skills necessary to reach my full potential.
Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to your positive response.
