跨专业申请海外院校的商科专业需要注意什么？下面我们结合两所知名商学院的招生官的要求来做解答。
先看一下Brandeis University 的Maief看重的申请要素：
“Who should apply：
We look for ability and commitment to undertake challenging graduate study. You should have:
* a successful academic record in an American bachelor's or equivalent foreign degree program
* significant work experience, ideally in finance or another analytical field
* analytical skills as demonstrated with GMAT or GRE scores and a good academic record
* motivation for graduate study
Prior studies should include a course in introductory economics (micro and macro). Statistics is recommended.”
再看一下Rochester Simon商学院 MSF的要求：
Personal Qualities and Leadership Potential
The Simon School values well-developed communication skills for all M.S. candidates. We desire to enroll self-motivated individuals who believe that M.S. study will significantly enhance both their technical and personal skill sets. Additionally, we seek evidence of team experiences and leadership skills, shown through extra-curricular activities and on-the-job projects.
The Committee may also use a personal interview, combined with the resume and essays to assess these qualitative aspects of your application. This interview is an important two-way communication between the School and the student. Treat the interview as you would a job interview - dress professionally, arrive a little ahead of schedule, and be prepared to discuss your background, while also asking a few key questions to learn about the program. Interviews are offered by invitation of the Admissions Committee.
Work Experience and Goals
The Simon School considers internships, part-time, and/or post-baccalaureate experience, when making admission decisions. The quality and quantity of working experience, combined with career goals, are evaluated equally. We do not have a minimum number of years of post-baccalaureate work experience required for admission consideration.
Academics
The Admissions Committee seeks candidates committed to academic excellence. We review both standardized exam scores (GRE or GMAT) and consider both the overall results, as well as the quantitative and verbal distribution of the exam. Additionally, we evaluate all undergraduate and graduate coursework that has been completed prior to applying. Specific review of business, accounting and mathematics grades, as well as your overall trend through the bachelor degree is considered, in addition to your cumulative GPA. Applicant concerns on any dimension of the academic profile may be briefly addressed in the optional essay.
大家可以发现GPA，GMAT/GRE， working experience，personal statement是着重被考察的指标。其中GPA，GMAT作为标准化分数是相当重要的。即使你本科和金融不相关，你的高GPA是你学术能力和大学态度的证明。也是录取时着重考虑的因素。
working experience如果和商科能够扯上关系很好。如果不能，则需要你把你的工作经验包装成你转行到商科的优势资源，这得结合你的personal statement来。
最后是personal statement了，商科的essay是很重要的，它是用来衡量你学习的动机，用来凸显你非量化的优势和能力，用来展现你对未来规划思考的成熟度，用来说服录取委员会这个学习的机会将对你的成功起到多大帮助的。
作为非金融专业的申请者，尤其需要在这方面进行思考，对自己进行包装。突出自己的比较优势:
你也许没有学过商科，但是你有着扎实的数理基础和工科训练出来的problem solving skills。 也许你不懂金融的那些东西，但是你在某个行业积累了经验和认知，金融的知识可以帮助你在这个行业的职业规划起到一臂之力,etc
具体关于essay的东西就不赘述了，总之作为一个转专业的申请者，结合你之前的优势表现出你的motivation,表现出这个学位对你的助推作用是很重要的。
