Well, first, the Tulsa MSFINANCE program has international reputation in the research in finance and focuses on training students with finely-honed quantitative skills and practical investment problems solving ability, which are badly needed in Chinese financial industry, and is also my academic and career interest. Also, my specialized research option is Investments and Portfolio Management, this industry is very promising and valued in China, especially in Shanghai. So the Tulsa FINANCE master degree will really benefit my future career in Shanghai.

6.
Why do you like your major?

Well, Finance has very great prospects in China. With an increase in Chinese investors’ investment power and international companies who seek to enter the more dynamic Chinese marketplace, Finance Researchers with the expertise in analyzing specific financial markets and in modifying existing investment strategies and layout of personal investors are really needed. That’s why I devote myself to this booming industry.

7.
How do you know this University?

Well, my professor in Fudan University, Xiyou He, recommended me to apply the University of Tulsa under the consideration of my academic performance and research interest. And then I browsed the university’s net and find the Tulsa MSFINANCE program emphasizes a lot on experiential learning and practical operation, really aligns with my academic background, personal philosophy, and career goals.

How much will you earn when you come back? Salary in the U.S.?

Well, Chinese companies will pay more attention to how well I do in the program I come from and the more diligent I will study, the higher salary I will get, it is reported that in the known finance corporation, investment bank department in China International Capital Corporation, Shanghai Branch, an ordinary financial analyst can earn more than one hundred and twenty thousands RMB one year, containing the year-end bonus, things may be higher when I come back two years later. You know, I will of course study hard to give myself more added-values and have a decent salary according to the promising development of Chinese finance industry. The salary in the U.S, I do not know in details.

What’s the difference between your major now and the major in US?

My major which is finance in US will combine the two disciplines crossed, and impart me with a more sophisticated and analytical techniques and market transactions that drive financial innovation which will be very helpful for my future career in Shanghai.

10.
Have you any work experiences?

Well, I am now a senior student. But I have many internship working experiences, such as an intern journalist in Finance and Economics Department, Shanghai Youth Daily Newspaper, these experiences all informed me that the finance research arena in China is under-developed at best, with rampant challenges such as fabricated data and unstandardized procedures. So there emerged great needs for people with a solid foundation of financial knowledge of the global picture, a mastery of foreign languages and a good ability in cross-cultural communication.

11.
Why not you won’t go to industry? Why do you think it is time to pursue a degree now?

Well, the length of my minor major which is International economics and trade in Fudan University is two years, based the limited time, I have just learned the basic business theories such as international settlement or stock arbitrage but not the advanced knowledge such as how to ensure the risk return trade-off by using certain valuation methods practically. I thereby recognized the educational gap I would need to fill in order to enter a career that matches my interest. In order to successfully cope with the challenges I will meet in my future career such as a finance analyst in the finance corporation, I do feel now is a good time for me to pursue a graduate study abroad to refresh and enrich myself before moving on to the next stage of my life.

12.
Why the normal length in I-20 is 36 months and you do intend to stay for 2 years?

Well, actually, the Tulsa MEFINANCE program is between two years and two years and a half. Maybe some students don’t study that hard so they need to extend the length of study. But I will study very diligent so I can curtail the times and come back soon to devote myself in the promising Chinese finance industry. I just want to minimize the opportunity cost while make the highest return on my investment into education. HaHa…

13.
To how many institutions have you applied, and who are they? Any other school admits you?

I am very confident so I only applied two universities, University of Tulsa and University of Alabama. Both the two universities admitted me. But I found the Tulsa MSFINANCE program aligns most closely with my academic background and career goals. I have taken University of Alabama’s admission letter. Here it is.<

14.Have you applied and Chinese University? Why?

I have considered to but finally choose the USA with an in-depth consideration. As you see, United States is the mother country of finance. So USA Universities’ Finance programs are of course the most in line with the modern financial trends and practices. They emphasize more on experiential learning and practical skills and let students make informed, justifiable business decisions in the face of changing economic conditions, which are badly needed in Chinese booming financial industry. So, of course, USA is the best choice.

15.
Why do you choose US but not Europe?

I choose US because the US MSFINANCE program is more experiential and dynamic than the Europe one. There are several pacemakers in business fields in University of Tulsa such as John H. Williams, Charles C. Stephenson. They are outstanding businessman and entrepreneur. And with more advanced lifelike laboratory and long financial market history, USA’s finance programs are of course the most in line with the modern financial trends and practices. I believe I have made a very advisable choice.

16.
What if I don’t give you the Visa? If the VO wants to refuse you.

Ha. Of course I will apply again because it’s really necessary for me at this time. And I do believe you won’t reject me, such a confident, lovely and ambitious girl.

17.
Why you applied another major in University of Alabama?

Well, as you know, my minor major is international economics and trade so my academic interest is a little wider at that time, finance and marketing both contain investigating stories behind numbers and conducting research, that’s my academic interest. After in-depth consideration, I think finance is much more professional and analytical, also this industry has great prospects and challenges in China and to be a financial analyst in my hometown, Shanghai is my life dream now. So Tulsa’s MSFINANCE program is more suitable and will provide me with the foundation that I need to get in order to enter a career that matches my interest.
