Personal Statement By Pu Liulin I am a cultivatable girl, whose affinity for finance burgeons under imperceptible influence of my mother, who has been engaged in finance. I have been interested in the subject of finance since my youth. I enjoy listening to my mother telling stories of the ups and downs of finance. Enchanted by the ever-changing financial world, I gradually from my dream of being a chartered financial analyst who is able to solve problems in my chosen program and in daily life. First and foremost, a major of economics can make me understand more about my specific career, and what I should be focused on, so I major in Economics at Miami University. Acquiring a systematic professional knowledge is a crucial path before I go to work. Different from Chinese …show more content…
Swimming has remarkably improved my willpower and perseverance. My interests and hobbies will prove a great boon to my overseas study, which attaches great importance to the moral, intellectual and physical development of young students. Longing to become a chartered financial analyst that serves for the market by taking a company public via an IPO in China, I am always fascinated about the idea of starting my own venture capital firm and eager to learn some economics and financial know-how. Now I am applying to the major of finance in a hope to systematically learn the financial knowledge, particularly in the field of investment and banking. In addition to theoretical knowledge accumulation, I expect to practice and improve on my analytical skills after graduation through research assistantship working with a renowned professor in the field of finance, in which I can observe deeply how the application of mathematical and statistical methods to the analysis of financial data provides advices to consumers of financial services. London is one of the top notch financial centers, shoulder to shoulder with New
While other children watched their favorite cartoon or played their favorite video game, reading business articles and watching the fluctuations seen in the stock market enthralled me. Renowned leaders in the business world have always been of interest to me, specifically Warren Buffet. My favorite quote by Buffet is “It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than you and you’ll drift in that direction.” By attending CMU, I would personify this quote. Growing up, my parents have instilled into me, many essential values, such as working hard and “being the best me I could be.” I have always expected a lot from myself, but high expectations from my parents and close friends, have increased my work ethic and lifted my goals and aspirations even higher. For that reason, I hope to challenge myself through the prestigious Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Science’s economics curriculum. The undergraduate economics program would prepare me for a vast array of careers. Jobs in policy, law, and business are all possible, or if one desires to go to some sort of post graduate school, that is also possible. By having such a top-notch education, I would surely be closer to achieving my goal of receiving my MBA from Tepper. In making all this possible, a wide range of classes must be made available. Classes that are available in just about any economics curriculum, like Intermediate Economics, are also available here, but classes like Behavioral Economics and Global Electronic Markets are what makes CMU unique. Another attractive aspect of CMU is the jointly administered economics degree by Dietrich and Tepper. I feel this will make for a solid foundation in the field of econo...
Personal Financial Advisors work behind the scenes with every type of person. They are the people who know how money works, and can tell you the best way to spend yours. They make investments on stocks or bonds, they plan for your retirement or children's college education. Financial advisors are aware of different opportunities and investment plans and they have the means to put your money where it can earn the largest return. A vast majority of people invest money, and more often than not there is a financial advisor by their side. This means that I could find a job as a financial advisor anywhere in the United States and in most other places around the world as well. Of course, it fits to reason that the people directing the world's money
Academically, through the Carey School’s challenging Economics classes, I want to explore my deep interest in finance.

As colleges and universities diminish their reliance on LSAT and GPA numbers in the selection of students to admit, narrative submissions become more significant. The personal statement is the primary way you can make sure the people on the admissions committee are familiar with who you are -- not merely what you have accomplished. Remember that it is an essay you are preparing that should be interesting and revealing about you.
It was a shock. The pediatric psychiatrist diagnosed me with a novel maladaptive behavior syndrome known as attention deficit disorder (ADD). My condition has notably hindered my ability to concentrate, organize, and execute both in the classroom and within social spheres. However, I have tried to meet the challenges posed by this mysterious syndrome through a number of approaches. Although they have been arduous, I have improved my control over the consequences of this disorder.
Financial planning can often be complicated based on each individual's needs, desires, short-term and long-term goals. In each of these individual and deeply personal situations, multiple variables must be considered before substantial recommendations can be made to develop a comprehensive financial plan (Kapoor, Dlabay, & Hughes, 2014).

I want to be a Bank of America Student Leader because I wish to be able to experience new opportunities for volunteering and interact with others who shares the same interests.

I am hoping that the career as a financial advisor is right for me from what I hear from everyone, it seems like a pretty good field to get into. During this paper I plan to find whether this career is actually for me or if it’s time that I change my major yet again.

My long term career goal is to found my own financial company that specializes in applying advanced analytics tools to solve complex financial problems. Having worked as a financial analytics analyst for more than 6 months at Enova Financial, a Chicago-based consumer online financing company, my passion towards financial analytics is reinforced. Ranging from basic data query and reporting to predictive modeling and optimization, data analytics has assumed a more important role in today’s financial services industry. Mastering data analytics could help financial institutions acquire the relevant information in the shortest amount of time and make the informed decisions thereafter. Since personal loan industry is only the niche of financial services, I would like to broaden my horizon of the financial knowledge by gaining a deeper understanding of its principle and its application in order to achieve my loan term goal. Entering a full-time master in finance program, as such, becomes the best option for me.
