下面附上安帅的作答:

I seek an MSF education out of my long-lasting interest in finance. Immersed in my father’s dinner-table talks on financial and monetary issues and his personal library of financial books, I started to love finance in childhood. Studying as a major of Financial Engineering, I have furthered my interest into serious exploration of knowledge and skills of quantitative finance, which perfectly combined my academic passion for finance and intellectual strength in mathematics. Through a series of research projects, including one sponsored by the People’s Bank of China, I have experienced abundant pleasure in seeking solutions to financial problems with quantitative tools. During my internships with the Kunshan Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Shanghai Branch of the Bank of China, I had valuable first-hand experience with the forefront of the financial industry in China, which instilled in me a strong desire for improving my expertise and international experience through an MSF education.

At the same time, I have narrowed my career expectations down to the fields of fixed-income investment or derivatives in an international investment bank. In about 5 years, I plan to seek the position of a fund manager. In the long term, I will come back to China and contribute my part to the sound growth of its developing financial market and industry.

To both my educational and professional goals, the MSF program at the Olin School of Business will prove highly valuable. Olin offers a curriculum that is highly analytical and technical, which will facilitate my strength and promote my career development in Derivative Pricing and Investment Banking. With Olin’s Experiential Learning, I will also sharpen my practical skills and enrich experiences with the actual financial industry. Through the Olin School’s Skandalaris Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, I will be able develop leadership skills and more experience in a real-setting setting. In addition, I am greatly attracted to the world-class professors, including Professor Hong Liu and Guofu Zhou who specialize in the fields of asset pricing, derivatives, and others. Through my expected study at the MSF program at Olin, I can expect to acquire more professional expertise, perspectives, and experiences. And I am sure I will graduate from Olin ready to seek the most competitive job in finance.

我出于长久以来的兴趣而选择金融硕士项目。童年时期的我,痴迷于吃饭时父亲谈论的金融和货币话题并在他的金融类书籍中流连忘返——我对金融的热爱就是这样开始的。将金融工程作为自己的本科专业,我得以将自己对金融的兴趣以及自己的数学天赋完美结合,我深度探索计量金融学相关知识和技巧的兴趣变得更加浓厚了。通过参与一系列研究项目,包括由中国人民银行赞助的项目,我在用计量工具探寻金融问题的解决方法过程中感受到了极大的乐趣。在中国工商银行昆山分行以及中国银行上海分行的实习让我获得了宝贵的第一手资料,这些来自中国金融行业前沿的资料激发我追求金融硕士项目的教育,从而改进自身专业技能和增加国际阅历。

与此同时,我的职业定位也变得更加明确,我希望在一家国际投资银行从事固定收入投资或衍生品相关领域并计划于毕业后的五年时间内成为一名基金经理。我的长期职业目标则是回到中国,为中国的金融市场和行业发展做出自身贡献。

欧林商学院提供的金融硕士项目无论对于我的教育和职业目标而言都具有极其重要的意义。欧林的课程极具分析性和技术性,这将提高我的自身实力并实现衍生品定价和投资银行方向的职业目标。欧林的经验学习也将提高我的动手能力、丰富我在实体金融行业的经验。在欧林学院Skandalaris 创业研究中心,我能够发展领导能力并提高解决实际问题的能力。此外,贵院世界闻名的教授们也深深吸引着我,例如致力于资产定价、衍生品及其他的Hong Liu教授和Guofu Zhou教授。在奥林学习金融硕士项目,我期待获得更多的专业技能、更宽广的视野以及更充实的经历。我相信在奥林毕业后,我可以找到一份金融市场中最具竞争力的工作。

你能不能给自己也写出一个为什么而学习的理由?还有一个明确的职业目标?

中国有太多迷茫的年轻人,每天在学校里面晃来晃去:有的沉迷于电脑游戏,有的勤奋乖巧地上着自习却不知道所学的东西是否足够让自己超越别人。

俗语讲:人增一岁,心静一分。人会随着经历和眼界的增长而更加从容自信。我们可以主动加快这种“经历和眼界的增长”,就看你愿意付出多大的努力。

今天,给自己办一个成人礼吧。
