Being involved in such a major transformation of a leading Uzbekistan firm in my early twenties proves my dedication to the profession and my ability to succeed as a financial analyst. Recently I received a promotion at Tashrostrans and became the Division Manager of Security Seals. Leading a 28 member production team, we ensure that our products meet ISO and TU federal standards for quality. I will continue to help companies like Tashrostrans compete successfully in the global market, both during and after I receive the MBA. Two of my friends from Uzbekistan attend BYU's MBA program inspired me to apply to your program in particular. After investigating American universities in depth and having spoken with Ivan and Eve, I focused on the Marriot School of Business for the following reasons. First, I want to attend a small school where I can interact personally with classmates and staff and collaborate on team projects that mirror the real world. Second, the Wall Street Journal ranked BYU's commitment to ethics as second in the nation. Your institution's commitment to business ethics remains the key factor in my decision to apply and my desire to participate in your unique campus environment. An education at the Marriott School of Management will allow me to interact with individuals from around the world in a diverse and challenging environment and will also permit me to infuse my work with integrity...

At the same time, BYU offers a rigorous and traditional curriculum, necessary to accomplish my goals as a professional financial analyst.
As an undergraduate student in Uzbekistan, I became the team captain of Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), a global non-profit organization funded by financial contributions from corporations, entrepreneurs, foundations, government agencies and individuals. Working in partnership with business and higher education, SIFE establishes student teams on university campuses to promote education in five key areas: market economics, success skills, entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and business ethics. In 2002 my team earned second place in the SIFE national championship. At BYU I will also participate in student organizations, and have a special interest in joining the Business Strategy Club (BSC).

Offering leadership experience, professionalism, and an international perspective to BYU's student body and faculty, I will become a positive and valuable contribution to your community. My ethics and values will also help contribute to Marriot's fourfold mission of education, outreach, friendship, and research. As a professional financial analyst with an MBA from BYU's Marriot School, I will represent your institution positively throughout my career. Thank you for your consideration.
