In the deepest recesses of my memories is the boulevard lined with Chinese parasol trees located outside my house. When I was just ten years old, my father put me at the back of his bicycle and rode me every weekend to attend English classes in the nearby community center (English was not part of elementary school education in China at that time). On this road of questing for my first western education, I, as a girl who loved to indulge in observations and meditations, kept an observant eye on the changing colors of the leaves all the year round. The rotation of seasons and the cyclical changes of the trees impressed me with the transitoriness of life and the urgency of making my life substantial within its transitory span. My present application for an advanced degree program at your esteemed university is by far the most important step in my relentless efforts to make my life substantial.
Dealing with figures has been our family tradition. As my mother is a statistician and my grandma a certified public account, as a teenager I had also commenced my observations and reflections on figures and calculations in the statements and reports that they had prepared with strong curiosity and interest. This interested strengthened my love for mathematics, often described as the “gymnastics of abstract thinking.” From elementary school to middle school, it was virtually a rule for me to achieve straight A’s in almost every course related to mathematics, a talent which has always made me feel proud of myself. Deep in my subconscious, I knew that a career related to mathematics would fit me most perfectly. Therefore, when I gained my undergraduate admission, I chose to specialize in Mathematics at Beijing Normal University. I believe that this specialty has provided me with a perfect arena to give vent to my passion for mathematics. My dedication to studies in mathematics and effective strategies of learning, plus voluminous readings of technical literature in various academic journals, have led to my top third ranking in my class and a number of major scholarships.
My greatest passion for learning mathematics was stimulated when I came to discover the foundational importance in social sciences, the essential function of mathematics behind its abstract concepts and number theories. When I first studied Advanced Mathematics, I was not clear about the real use of abstract mathematical theories. This kind of puzzlement lasted until I found that the genuine function of mathematics lied in its ability to solve problems in the real world objectively and scientifically, to develop human wisdom, to enable one to arrive at higher horizons and to examine problems with insights and discriminations. The courses that have particularly fascinated me most are Mathematical Analysis, Higher Geometry, Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics, and Matrix Construction in Mathematics. Those courses allowed me to experience the charm of mathematics’ symbolic language and that of mathematical thinking, in addition to its omnipresent utility.
As an undergraduate, I am most proud of my experience of constructing the Social and Economic Growth Model as a team member representing our university during a mathematical modeling contest in Beijing. As our three-person team lacked the experience of applying theoretical knowledge to practical problems, we felt at an impasse in the face of the challenging task. I took some time to examine in detail all the mathematical models we had learned in class and proposed the idea of dividing the entire modeling into individual modules and piecing them together to form a complete model. Eventually our team was awarded second prize at this provincial contest. In retrospect, it is precisely this experience that aroused my serious interest in the application of mathematics in the realms of economics and finance. To further develop myself in this direction, I studied a lot of optional courses including macroeconomics, microeconomics, e-commerce, etc. Thenceforward, I developed a new objective—to combine my knowledge of mathematics with economics and finance and to exploit the function of mathematics in social life.
My undergraduate thesis, entitled Vector Quantity and Geometry, though purely theoretical in appearance, is actually a vivid description of how mathematical theories can be applied to reality. It focuses on precise analysis of those potential yet absolute relationships between different entities and how we can uncover and examine those relationships from mathematical perspectives. Rated by the department academic council as “Class A”, the thesis has been accepted by the editorial board of our departmental journal for publication.
Apart from cultivating my rigorous attitude for scientific research and developing my analytical and problem-solving abilities, I have taken an active part in extracurricular activities. With my strengths in mathematics, I passed a number of certification tests with much facility, including Microsoft Certified Professional, Microsoft Office-Use Specialist, and LOTUS 1-2-3. I have been correspondent and editor for our campus radio broadcasting station and campus website. My English proficiency qualified me as a volunteer working for the Beijing Worldwide Chinese Businessmen Meeting. In summer vacation, I worked part-time at a local accounting firm where I exercised my knowledge of mathematics and skills of electronic computation to establish for the firm a financial database. I also worked on preparing business accounting plans and digitalized financial management plans for the firm’s clients.
My experiences of social practices have permitted me to understand how mathematics can best be used. As far as I am concerned, my lack of advanced academic knowledge, especially my lack of in-depth understanding of economics and finance, and my lack of formal and systematic trainings in those fields, have constituted my “bottleneck” for further academic development. The overall situation in China is that there is an oversupply of theoretical mathematicians while applied mathematicians are sorely needed. Interdisciplinary subjects between mathematics and economics, such as financial mathematics, actuary science, economic engineering, and mathematical economics, are virtually nonexistent in China. The consequence is that China’s economic development will be seriously hampered for the lack of those important sciences. Great Britain plays a leading role in the world both in financial sciences and in education. Those two factors have motivated me to seek advanced studies there.
In this Personal Statement, I would like to indicate to you unequivocally my intention to specialize in financial mathematics, mathematical economics, or similar programs of an interdisciplinary nature. My choice is motivated by the consideration that in China virtually all financial professionals do not possess a strong background in mathematics, thus they rely heavily on foreign technical models and concepts. However, China’s economic conditions and models differ from those in Western countries and any unquestioning importation would be counterproductive. My plan is to probe into the possibility of developing some economic and financial models that best fit in with China’s circumstances based on a critical analysis of Western models and extensive practices. Projects in those areas will be what I am most concerned with and interested in.
London School of Economics and Politics is reputed for its time-honored history, respected for its distinctive status in economics and finance, along with its unparalleled research and pedagogical standards. Advanced educational concepts and methodologies there would undoubtedly broaden my vision and perspectives, enhance my fundamental skills in devising and launching large-scale cases. Most importantly, for a woman like me who has a penchant for English culture in general and English literature in particular, going to study in Britain will foster my spirit of independence the way Jane Eyre did. Nothing can delight me more than to observe and to experience, with heart and soul, the historical, cultural legacies of such a great country.
自費(fèi)出國留學(xué)需要什么條件
一、自費(fèi)出國留學(xué)的條件總括
首先,經(jīng)濟(jì)條件是個(gè)重要因素。家庭現(xiàn)有及未來幾年的經(jīng)濟(jì)收入是否足以支付孩子留學(xué)所需的基本費(fèi)用,包括學(xué)費(fèi)及生活費(fèi)等,這應(yīng)成為家長決定是否送孩子出國留學(xué)的重要依據(jù)之一。此外,通過正當(dāng)合法手續(xù)取得足夠的外匯資助或國外獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金,即持有親友提供的經(jīng)濟(jì)保證書,或持有國外院校、科研機(jī)構(gòu)或基金會(huì)等提供的獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金或資助證明。所得外匯資助或獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金應(yīng)能維持自己在國外的學(xué)習(xí)和生活。
現(xiàn)在的留學(xué)生多數(shù)都已經(jīng)在經(jīng)濟(jì)能力方面具備了不錯(cuò)的條件,鮮有因?yàn)閷?shí)際上無法支付留學(xué)費(fèi)用而被拒簽或者在留學(xué)期間因?yàn)榇蚬赍X而違法或者考試不通過的。但是仍然有少數(shù)的家長和學(xué)生希望在不具備足夠的經(jīng)濟(jì)能力的情況下,盲目地考慮自費(fèi)出國留學(xué)。我們需要明白一個(gè)道理,留學(xué)期間的學(xué)習(xí)任務(wù)很重,而申請(qǐng)獎(jiǎng)學(xué)金是非常小概率的機(jī)會(huì),如果試圖靠打工掙到學(xué)費(fèi)及生活費(fèi),這是不太現(xiàn)實(shí)的,所謂"魚和熊掌不可兼得",既要學(xué)習(xí)效果,還要擠占學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間去打工,壓力太大,恐難以如愿。
其次,應(yīng)具有相當(dāng)?shù)耐庹Z水平。
在國外留學(xué)當(dāng)然需要具備比較好的語言能力,否則是難以完成學(xué)業(yè)的,更別說留學(xué)成功了。有什么衡量的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)嗎?當(dāng)然不僅僅是TOEFL或者IELTS這樣的考試考高分,接近母語水平的外語能力才是留學(xué)生應(yīng)當(dāng)追求的目標(biāo)。關(guān)于語言能力的問題,有的家長和學(xué)生還有一個(gè)誤區(qū),他們認(rèn)為到了國外,語言環(huán)境比較好,自然容易提高。這個(gè)想法是錯(cuò)誤的,違背了外語學(xué)習(xí)的規(guī)律。外語不是母語,不可能自然習(xí)得,而需要通過科學(xué)的訓(xùn)練和刻苦的學(xué)習(xí)才能逐步獲得。所謂的"留學(xué)垃圾"有很大一部分是栽在語言上面,因?yàn)槁牪欢n,無法與老師和同學(xué)交流,完不成作業(yè),考試很難通過,進(jìn)而導(dǎo)致了一步步地滑向厭學(xué)和學(xué)業(yè)不佳的境地。建議學(xué)生盡可能在留學(xué)前做好語言方面的準(zhǔn)備,包括考試和能力訓(xùn)練。
第三,自身素質(zhì)是個(gè)必備條件。是否具備生活自理能力、學(xué)習(xí)適應(yīng)能力、語言能力和較成熟的心智,這些都是保證能夠在國外健康成長和達(dá)到預(yù)期學(xué)習(xí)效果的必備條件。
在國外留學(xué)需要獨(dú)立應(yīng)對(duì)很多事情,有時(shí)候甚至是突發(fā)事件。這里所說的獨(dú)立自主能力不僅僅是吃飯穿衣那么簡單,還涉及到社交、與老師相處、選擇課程、升學(xué)規(guī)劃甚至是理財(cái)?shù)确椒矫婷?。媒體上經(jīng)??吹降挠嘘P(guān)留學(xué)生的負(fù)面消息常常是因?yàn)閷W(xué)生在上述能力方面有所欠缺而導(dǎo)致的,而留學(xué)比較成功的那些天子驕子在很大程度上則是因?yàn)樯鲜鰡栴}處理得比較好。因此,要在出國留學(xué)前有意識(shí)加強(qiáng)獨(dú)立思考和自主處理問題的能力訓(xùn)練。
此外對(duì)于習(xí)慣了被動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)和以考試為導(dǎo)向的教學(xué)模式的中國學(xué)生而言,國外以自主學(xué)習(xí)、主動(dòng)思考、啟發(fā)質(zhì)疑等為主要方式的教學(xué)模式是比較陌生的。聽說過這種模式是一回事,真正能適應(yīng)并如魚得水又是另一回事。在工作中,我們常說:你可以不會(huì)做,但是你不能不會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)。這是同樣的道理。尤其是對(duì)于那些想要上名校的學(xué)生或者攻讀研究生以上學(xué)歷的學(xué)生而言,真正的學(xué)習(xí)能力和學(xué)術(shù)能力不僅僅是體現(xiàn)在你提交給學(xué)校的成績單上。
二、大學(xué)在讀出國留學(xué)的條件
大學(xué)在讀出國留學(xué)主要是通過轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)分或插班就讀的方式,不同國家的條件不同,一般由以下條件決定:
中國大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的年限、何所大學(xué)就讀、是否經(jīng)正規(guī)高考進(jìn)入該大學(xué)、學(xué)習(xí)的專業(yè)、所學(xué)的課程、在讀成績、擬申請(qǐng)留學(xué)的大學(xué)、擬申請(qǐng)大學(xué)的專業(yè)、目前的英文水平(雅思或托福的分?jǐn)?shù))等等。各國大學(xué)會(huì)綜合考慮這些因素,然后決定學(xué)生到底該從大幾開始讀起,有可能是從大一讀起,也有可能會(huì)從大二讀起。對(duì)于專業(yè)選擇方面,建議是繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)本專業(yè),這樣申請(qǐng)成功的機(jī)率才會(huì)更大些。如果是轉(zhuǎn)專業(yè),那要根據(jù)所轉(zhuǎn)專業(yè)的跨度來綜合評(píng)估,本科插讀難度一般比研究生申請(qǐng)要更復(fù)雜一些,所以如果你有這個(gè)想法,建議你及早規(guī)劃自己的留學(xué)時(shí)間表。
國內(nèi)大三或大四在讀學(xué)生:一般不建議通過轉(zhuǎn)學(xué)分或插班的方式出國去念本科,是等念完本科以后再出國讀碩士。因?yàn)楹炞C時(shí)簽證官會(huì)質(zhì)疑你的留學(xué)目的和動(dòng)機(jī),在大多數(shù)簽證官看來,在中國讀完本科再申請(qǐng)美國的碩士課程比較適合這個(gè)階段學(xué)生的發(fā)展。
三、大學(xué)畢業(yè)出國留學(xué)的條件
大學(xué)畢業(yè)出國留學(xué),即是出國讀研,也是目前國內(nèi)大多數(shù)留學(xué)生的選擇。申請(qǐng)研究院通常有兩種時(shí)機(jī),一種時(shí)機(jī)是大學(xué)畢業(yè)后直接申請(qǐng)進(jìn)入研究院就讀,待取得學(xué)位后再踏入社會(huì)。計(jì)劃直接就讀研究生院的學(xué)生,在大學(xué)時(shí)開始為研究院課程做準(zhǔn)備和規(guī)劃,修讀相關(guān)的預(yù)備課程,以具備直接申請(qǐng)相關(guān)主修專業(yè)的資格。另一種時(shí)機(jī)則在大學(xué)畢業(yè),有過工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)后再申請(qǐng)研究院。美國有些研究院科系要求申請(qǐng)人有工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),例如企管碩士,也就是通常所說的MBA課程,要求學(xué)生至少要有兩年以上的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),比較好的學(xué)生往往要求三年以上工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)。由于MBA課程的目的在于培養(yǎng)經(jīng)理級(jí)的人才,因此在工作三至五年之后就讀MBA課程,對(duì)于學(xué)生的職業(yè)發(fā)展比較有利。有了工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)再申請(qǐng)研究院的另一優(yōu)點(diǎn)是,取得碩士學(xué)位后重新尋找工作,在職場(chǎng)上也占有優(yōu)勢(shì)。
美國研究生留學(xué)要求
一、資格
由于申請(qǐng)的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)激烈,學(xué)校在篩選學(xué)生的時(shí)候,會(huì)優(yōu)先選擇完成學(xué)士課程學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生,因?yàn)檫@樣在進(jìn)行碩士課程學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候,連貫性會(huì)更強(qiáng),這樣學(xué)校需要額外耗費(fèi)的資源也會(huì)相對(duì)少一些,建議畢業(yè)生進(jìn)行申請(qǐng)。
二、背景
當(dāng)然大家擁有申請(qǐng)專業(yè)相關(guān)的學(xué)習(xí)基礎(chǔ),和資格的限制顯示,大家如果是本專業(yè)進(jìn)行直升,在接受專業(yè)的授課的時(shí)候,會(huì)更加有優(yōu)勢(shì)時(shí)候,能夠更快的適應(yīng)教學(xué)和課程的安排。
此外大家本科學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)校的排名和實(shí)力,也會(huì)影響的學(xué)校的審核,如果大家是985/211名校的畢業(yè)生,會(huì)更受學(xué)校的青睞,因?yàn)檫@樣可以直接展示出大家基礎(chǔ)的實(shí)力,學(xué)校是很重要的背景。
三、成績
最直接的篩選項(xiàng)目,就是大家的GPA成績單,這是大家在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)的成果證明,能夠直接反映出大家在學(xué)校的學(xué)習(xí)情況,最基礎(chǔ)的分?jǐn)?shù)要求是3.5分,需要保證自己沒有不合格的課程。
部分專業(yè)還會(huì)要求申請(qǐng)者出示自己的GMAT或者GRE的成績單,主要是理工科要求GRE,商科要求GMAT,大家需要早點(diǎn)做準(zhǔn)備,進(jìn)行考試的準(zhǔn)備,并且參加考試拿到合格的成績。
四、語言
入學(xué)還要提交語言考試的成績單,目前IELTS和TOEFL同樣受到認(rèn)可,研究生階段的而學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)語言的要求是比較高的,名校入學(xué)需要提交IELTS7.0,TOEFL100分的分?jǐn)?shù)。
五、文書
還要進(jìn)行基礎(chǔ)文書的準(zhǔn)備,簡歷和陳述是個(gè)人信息和優(yōu)勢(shì)的展示,需要有一定的邏輯關(guān)系,在寫作的時(shí)候,就要考慮到兩者直接的相互關(guān)系,需要將它們的功能進(jìn)行區(qū)分。
比較重要的還有推薦信,需要大家提前和推薦人進(jìn)行聯(lián)系,將個(gè)人概況進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的介紹,這樣在寫作的時(shí)候,才會(huì)有內(nèi)容可以寫,并且能夠打動(dòng)人。
