Statement of Purpose
As an aspiring investment banker, San Jose State University School of Business’ excellence presents a perfect opportunity to study, collaborate as well as a steer to build ventures that solve the emerging complex challenges in the markets. My long term career objective is to solidify my proficiency in investment banking with ambitions of running a private equity/hedge fund firm.
I am industrious and success-driven with an excellent academic background in economics. Following my graduation in 2019, I decided to take time to evaluate and establish the best fit program that would provide me with profound knowledge in finance that I need to achieve my next short and long term career goals. Conversely, this coronavirus quarantine period has allowed me to have deep reflections and revitalize my dreams of running a hedge fund firm. It is now clear in my mind that a rigorous Masters in Business Administration program at the San Jose State University School of Business directly corresponds to my life ambitions and career goals.
I believe I have met the minimum admission requirements specified by the University for a Spot in the competitive MBA program. I hold Bachelor of Arts in Economics from the California State University- Sacramento and satisfy the 3.0 GPA standard requirements. I understand the University has waived the fall GMAT exam due to the current circumstances. Nonetheless, I have been preparing myself by taking a personal online course on investment banking. I have not managed to get a recommendation letter from my professor due to the challenges that have been brought forth my COVID-19. Previously I have worked in two capacities as the director of finance in the Public Relations Student Society of America for five months and as an office assistant in a family dental office for four months. I have also had a ten-month internship experience at Tower Real Estate Brokers in Sacramento. I have already started looking at internships and job opportunities in the bay area to get a feel of what I would be looking into once the semester begins.
I am confident that the rigorous MBA program offered by San Jose State University School of Business would impact my professional life as well as equip me fully with comprehensive and specialized professional training. I need to take advantage of this opportunity as it would be a huge next step in my career goals. I am poised that the MBA program combined with my intellectual and creative capabilities as well as proper communication skills foster my professional potential and personal life.
