...a Stern MBA necessary at this point in your life? FUTURE: What is your desired position upon graduation from the Stern School? I like options, I like security, and I like power. With these wants, I knew at a very early age that I would enter business and thus I attended a college that specializes in the subject. In my first position out of school, I was hired by Dunhill Equities as a cold-caller. After several weeks of being hung up on by angry prospects, I decided that this career path would not lead me to success. I then moved within the firm to a position as sales assistant. While this was by no means my dream job, I learned a tremendous amount about business, and I gained useful exposure to the world of finance. Unfortunately, the company hit a period of instability, and after ten months I transferred with my boss to Coleman & Company. Thirteen months later, that company also began to fail, and I began to search for another path to advancement. With two strikes against me, I hit a home run and was hired by Sanford Bernstein into a challenging job with limitless opportunity for growth. After almost three years at Bernstein, I am once again seeking career advancement. My education and work experience have provided me with an excellent introduction to business, and they have sparked my interest in finance. Taking into consideration my foundation and my interests, graduate business school is the next logical step. At this point in my life, I consider a Stern MBA to be necessary...

Topics include financial analysis and planning, time value of money, valuation, capital budgeting, risk/return trade-offs, cost of capital, and capital structure. The pedagogical approach used is a mixture of lectures and case examples. Cases are often used as a vehicle for discussing the complexities of real-world financial problems.

By the end of the semester, students should be able to: (1) describe essential characteristics of the finance profession and institutions, (2) be conversant in basic financial jargon, (3) value paper assets (stocks and bonds) and tangible assets (capital budgeting) using the tools of time value of money, including NPV and IRR, (4) explain the various sources of financing, their associated costs, and their advantages and disadvantages, (5) calculate and use financial statements and ratios to analyze a business and create and use pro forma statements for planning...

...disappointments, I have always been especially proud of the dedication and fervor I possess for my personal beliefs and values. Unfortunately, it has often been difficult for me to remain outwardly firm and confident in a town where most people think alike and reject exceptions. Whenever I have expressed my position as a pro-life advocate, peers have badgered, accused, and ridiculed me for simply believing in something that they scorn. Despite all the pressure, I never waive red from my belief, yet I became frustrated and began to lose the courage to publicly express my opinion on this controversial topic. To gain some insight and reassurance for myself, I attended the New Jersey Right to Life Convention in the spring of 1995. This experience uplifted me and offered great inspiration and enlightenment. At the convention I received an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement from wonderful people who advocate the very principles I believe in. This convention was so inspiring that the next day in school I was able to relate my experience to one of my biggest opponents on the subject. Also, the abundant information available at the convention enabled me to defend my position on abortion more effectively. Attending this convention accomplished two things. It proved my commitment to my belief, in that I took the initiative to strengthen and support my opinion, refusing to give up or lose heart. Unlike many others, I was eager and willing to gain new knowledge so I may successfully...

...Sample Statement of Purpose: MBA The term “globalism” has become overused, and often misused. In fact, we might say that it has actually been devalued to the level of the everyday language of buzzword-brandishing marketing pundits. Such freewheeling usage has perhaps prompted many a CEO (or future CEO) to launch into a global plan or strategy without proper consideration of the demands and dynamics of the international marketplace. Many would-be globetrotters neglect the acquisition of language skills, knowledge of foreign trade and tax laws, accounting standards, etc., all of which are necessary to effectively “go global.” Superficial knowledge only leads to failure. This has, indeed, happened, and while there is no doubt that neglecting to capture the gains achievable in overseas markets is equally suicidal, misguided attempts at competing globally (along with rapidly developing opportunities in the global marketplace) have placed a dramatic premium on individuals who take the time to properly train themselves in international business. For me, the Columbia MBA is a significant component of this training. I foresee my own career moving in the direction of European/American business, initially from an advisory perspective (i.e. investment banking or consulting) and ultimately from a leadership role within a manufacturing entity, preferably a start-up venture. This prophecy, in part, has evolved from my past experiences in western and eastern Europe which, in turn, have formed...

...Hong, Kil Dong Applying for MBA Yale University 1.Please discuss the principle elements of your educational and work experience to date. Describe your specific career objectives as a professional manager(three to five pages, double-spaced) Since I had worked in the xxx product department of xxx, established by my deceased father, the yearly income was $xx million in 19xx and in the top 10 rank in Korea, my major problem was a lack of knowledge in Finance and Management. Upon graduation from undergraduate studies, I was employed in the Management Planning Team. Because I did not have the background in business administration from majoring in English Literature in undergraduate, I realized the difficulty in grasping the concept of general company matters, marketing analysis, and setting up the short and long-term marketing plan. When I participated in the future development of xxx and sales project for 10 months that began in February 19xx, I realized that I was incapable of successfully performing my duties as an Assistant Manager with 8 staff members for a project in which the company heavily depended upon. It was then that I had realized what special talent was needed to become a successful manager. For instance, while analyzing xxx, xxx’s technological advantage and marketing strategies, I realized the importance of learning Marketing Research and Strategy. I also realized the importance of Financial Management and Corporate Financial Policies when planning...

...CHAPTER – I 1.1 Background of the Study Internship program is a career-related work experience conducted as an integral part of the academic program. It is very essential to get exposure to "real" business projects and problems, development of managerial skills and increased insights regarding organizational work environments thereby enhancing communication skills as the foundation of professional correspondences and understanding the general structure of most business situations by acquiring the new information and ideas so as to apply them for the benefits of the organization as well as the one’s own career development. The term “Bank” was derived from an Italian word “Banca”. Banks perform various specialized functions. Banks may be defined in terms of the various functions it performs. So it is quite impossible to define bank in just one word. However, bank can be described as such a financial institution that takes in funds as deposits repayable on demand or at short notice. According to the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, “Bank is an establishment for the custody of money received from or on behalf of its customers. Its essential duty is to pay their drafts on it, its profit arise from the use of the money left unemployed by them.” Types of Bank There are many types of bank among them the main types of bank can be categorized as follows: a) Commercial Bank b) Development Bank b) Central Bank 1.2 Brief Introduction about Commercial Bank A commercial...
