背景分析

学生优势： 双专业，托福分数，以及工作和科研等软件背景。

学生劣势： gpa偏低，经济学先修课程不足。

文书思路

sop

开头：开门见山交代自己目前在创业投资公司任职，参与了多个投资项目的尽职调查积累了很多宝贵的行业经验。同时意识到，要想在目前的工作中取得更大的突破，还需要更多的专业知识。结合自己的职业目标说明了解过申请项目后觉得很适合我。

主体：详述背景优势。工作中讲述了一个做的最成功的也最具含金量的项目，从而专业知识的提升和综合能力的磨练。本科学习中积累的理论知识，以及在做毕业论文时自学了缺乏的先修课程。此外，表述信息管理和信息系统专业学习的计算机知识将使我能够更好地利用软件工具进行经济学研究。科研背景写了发表过论文的一个科研培训项目和跟着校外教授参加的一个关于商品价格的研究项目。

结尾：重申向学校展示出色的表现的信心。

ps

开头引用胡祖六先生在一次采访中的观点，中国经济体制有两个弱点：一是环境问题（污染问题、能源问题等）；二是金融问题。引出自己学习经济学的兴趣和经济学于社会发展的重要意义。接下来从经济学的角度分析了一下国内房地产行业过热的原因和问题。最后自己希望参与到中国金融市场的改革中。

申请总结

对于硬件条件不足的，比如先修课程这块，还是要想办法在文书中圆回来。另外，这个学生我们后来也有给每个学校发gpa解释信，将学生塑造成一个虽然gpa不理想但是自己是一个有想法有目标且一直在努力的形象。ucla wait后也第一时间给学校发了love letter，更新工作上的新成就和行业新认知。
