美國各名校的商學院一直是赴美申請者熱衷的，其中，金融和會計類專業(yè)更是熱門中的熱門。每年無數(shù)的申請者為了搶過這個獨木橋，付出了很多的努力。今天，美嘉國際的常秀敏老師，根據(jù)多年的留學行業(yè)經(jīng)驗，來幫這些志在名校的學生分析一下美國前五十名校的MSF和會計類專業(yè)。

MSF

在美國，開設 MSF的學校并不是很多，排名前50的大學里有金融專業(yè)的不過10所左右?？偟膩碚f學校選擇余地很小，因此為擴大選擇范圍，經(jīng)常會搭配申請一些MBA in Finance的學校，兩者是殊途同歸的。依照歷年的錄取經(jīng)驗，前50的MSF基本要求托福達到100分以上，GMAT 700分以上，GPA至少3.0，例如：

不過由于MSF申請人數(shù)眾多，達到此標準的學生亦為數(shù)不少，但錄取的人數(shù)卻很有限，競爭相當激烈，所以以上條件只是必要條件，絕非進入前50學校的充分條件。

MSA

在近幾年的留學申請的熱潮中，會計仍然是熱門的申請專業(yè)之一。在美國，開設會計專業(yè)的學校多于開設金融、營銷等其它商科專業(yè)的學校，US NEWS綜合排名前100的大學當中有一半以上的學校提供該碩士教育，100-200的學校也是如此，這在一定程度上分散了競爭，為申請帶來積極的促進作用，但也意味著選校難度的增加，盲目、片面的選校很可能會導致申請失敗。

錄取標準：一般來說，對于排名前50的學校，學生必須滿足GPA至少3.0以上，托福成績100分以上，錄取學生的GMAT分數(shù)平均為700分以上，比如以下學校：

此外還要注意一些特殊要求（會計前置課程要求等），對于專業(yè)排名靠后一些的學校，由于申請人數(shù)眾多，競爭也非常激烈。除語言成績之外，各所學校會進一步了解學生以往學術成績及職業(yè)記錄，本科學業(yè)中參加過的實習和工作，推薦信，申請陳述，以及申請者關于申報本專業(yè)的動機，進行整體實力的評估。由于申請絕大部分學校MSA都有會計前置課程的要求：Micro or Macroeconomics、Financial Accounting、Managerial Accounting、Intermediate Accounting I & II、Statistics等。因此本科非會計專業(yè)或非商科專業(yè)的學生，基本不符申請資格。真正對本科背景無要求的MSA學校少之又少。因此本科非專業(yè)會計的學生，一般會建議申請MBA下的會計分支。

2014年美國碩士申請及簽證已經(jīng)落下大幕，美嘉留學又經(jīng)過了一輪豐收的季節(jié)，據(jù)統(tǒng)計，2014年一共辦理的赴美留學學生為402人，其中就讀高中的為98人，本科綜合大學的91人，本科文理學院的33人，本科、碩士雙錄取52人，碩士115人，博士13人。其中100%的學生獲得錄?。s有18%的申請人由于語言成績未達到預期而調整了申請院校，也均獲得了錄?。?，博士生均獲得獎學金，金額從全獎到半獎不等。目前統(tǒng)計的已經(jīng)簽證的學生，獲簽率也達到100%。

如此豐碩的一輪申請，為2015申請季的同學們也積累了更多的申請素材及成功經(jīng)驗。眾所周知，申請的軟性材料中，文書的重要性不言而喻。美嘉留學的老師為大家總結了美國名校金融專業(yè)碩士申請需要額外準備的Essay題目，供申請人參考。由于每年申請文書的命題都會修改，2015申請季可能會有變化，一切以大學2015年申請系統(tǒng)中新的題目為準，以下信息僅供參考。
