申请要求

对比金融和会计这两个专业,其实对申请者的本科背景都有一定的要求,但是相对来讲,会计的要求更严格,尤其是在Top 50院校的会计项目中,绝大部分都会要求申请者是会计、金融、或其他商科背景,至少要修过几门基础的会计课程,比如财务会计、管理会计、宏微观经济学。

从各个院校的录取数据可以看出,每年录取的学生专业背景,理工科背景的占比不会超过10%,有的甚至连5%都不到。

一般申请条件:

金融:GPA:3.2+;IBT: 90+; GMAT: 680+,学校活动,实习,与专业相关的学术论文及研究经历等。

会计:GPA3.0+; IBT:90+;GMAT 650+。一般录取时要求学生有相关的会计方面的先修课程,名校要求会更高。
