¶ … candidacy for the University of?

I am writing this letter to further express my commitment to studying at?

, from where my brother graduated this spring. Attending his graduation ceremony confirmed my selection of?

as my first choice school, and I do feel I have a lot to contribute to the campus community and academic milieu.

As I have mentioned in my admissions essays, I am passionate about my field of interest: banking and finance, and I have had the opportunity to witness first hand the daily life of financial analysts while on an internship with the Bank of China in Beijing. This experience not only taught me what comprises the day-to-day life of a financial analyst; I also gleaned invaluable cultural awareness. Banking, perhaps like no other field of study, depends more on a keen consciousness of both culture and finance. As I have lived in several different countries and have to the best of my ability immersed myself in the world of banking, I feel I possess the experience and character traits that would make me an ideal fit for the Business School. I also believe that the University of?

is dedicated to diversity as well as to academic excellence, and I truly look forward to studying with fellow students and esteemed faculty.

Moreover, ? helps their students cultivate their innate leadership skills, which especially in my field of interest are requisite for success. After all, alums like President Ford, Bill Joy, and Ann Coulter might not have been so successful in their fields had they not first achieved success at the University.

While at the same time fostering a sense of community and cooperation, the University of?

faculty and curricula can contribute to student's personal and professional growth and development. I hope to contribute to?

's community while at the same time standing out from the crowd as an exceptional student in my field. With a BBA from the University I will be able to manifest my vision of becoming a future pioneer in the world of international banking, perhaps specializing in the rapidly growing Chinese banking world.

I am eager to capitalize on my zeal and propensity for the stimulating, challenging world of finance. As you make your decisions, please consider my unique strengths and experiences that can enrich the?

student body.

Sincerely
