1 Supplementary related courses: In mathematics, students can learn applied statistics in addition to basic mathematics courses such as calculus, line generation, probability theory and mathematical statistics. On the computer side, related courses include machine learning, database management, data mining, data structure and algorithm. In business, you can take courses such as financial accounting, financial management, marketing, finance and so on. Econometrics can also be selected.
2 Mastery of professional skills: Commonly used models include machine learning, time series and marketing-related models. Commonly used programming statistical software includes Python, R, SQL, MATLAB, SAS, SPSS and so on. In addition, you can also master some data visualization software, such as Tableau and PowerBI.
3 Language scores: Ruben students need to prepare TOEFL/IELTS and GRE/GMAT to apply for American business analysis program, among which students take TOEFL more. Among GRE and GMAT, it is recommended to prepare for GRE, because Columbia University, Georgetown, CMU and other related majors are not in business schools and do not accept GMAT scores, so the scope of preparing for GRE will be wider.
If you want to apply for the top 30 BA programs, I suggest you take TOEFL 105 or above, and your oral English is 23+. Of course, it is more competitive to brush to 1 10. IELTS recommends more than 7.0, and it is better to brush more than 7.5. GRE suggests 325+ and writing 3.5+, and it is more advantageous if you can get above 330.
4. Internship and scientific research: the application for BA is mainly internship. It is suggested to add two or three core internships before the application season. The scope of internship can be very wide. The types of companies that can be found are brokerage investment banks, consulting companies, four major accounting firms, internet companies, and fast-moving public relations companies. The positions I often do are data analyst, business analyst and market research.
If you have the conditions, you can consider going abroad for exchanges. On the one hand, we can supplement some core courses and get letters of recommendation from foreign professors. On the other hand, you can increase your overseas experience and add points to your application.
Most business analysis projects in the United States will have video interviews or on-site interviews, and landlords can improve their English expression skills. In addition, students are often asked about their long-term and short-term career plans and their understanding of the financial field in documents and interviews, and the landlord can also prepare in advance to cultivate his own business insight.
