Editor's Foreword:
Mr. Shen is currently studying for a Master of Finance in the UK and will graduate in November. In the past four years, Senior Shen has gradually changed from knowing nothing to knowing a little bit about it. As he is about to leave the campus, let's listen to his experience of applying for graduate school, hoping to help the younger students who are about to go through or are going through the stage of applying for graduate school.

Student testimonials: For students who are applying for a master's degree in finance, I think there are a few points worth noting:
1.Grades from the first semester of freshman and sophomore years. Although some schools do not include freshman grades in the evaluation criteria for degree grades, excellent grades in freshman year are indispensable for graduate school applications. The freshman course is relatively simple, and it is easier to get high scores, which has a great effect on raising the overall average score, and is an effective way to improve competitiveness.

Main entrance) 2Quantitative courses and electives. The financial application is more focused on the background, including but not limited to mathematics, computer science, finance and other courses. Some schools' online application systems will even require students to list the quantitative courses they have Xi and attach the corresponding test scores. Therefore, everyone should focus on the big.
Quantitative courses during the first and second year of the year. For students with insufficient quantitative background, they can try to take quantitative courses according to their own ability.
Library) 3Interdisciplinary research applications. For students who wish to study Xi finance, there is no restriction on undergraduate background. As far as I know, the undergraduate background of the students covers mathematics, finance, actuarial science, statistics, economics, computer science, physics, chemistry, biology, electronic and electrical engineering and other majors, and the background of science and engineering is more. Therefore, students who switch from science and engineering to finance do not have to worry about their background, and students majoring in liberal arts may need to strengthen their quantitative background as appropriate.
