Critique of my Personal Statement?

We Answered:

My decision to study accounting is based on both my academic and employment experience.

OK, fine.

Having discovered accounting as my passion and analyzed my past experiences, i created my career vision to become highly reputable expert in the field of accountancy and to start my own accounting business.

I would say something more like "Once I realised that I had a passion for accountancy, I decided that the career path I would take was to become an expert in the field and, ultimately, to set up my own business".

To fulfill this vision i need to achieve three main goals. The first is to complete a bachelor's degree in accountancy. The second is to obtain a master's degree which will provide me with an advanced understanding of the accounting system. The third is to learn as much as possible and gain as many as possible experiences in order to become either CA or CMA qualified.

Perhaps "In order to achieve this I first need to do the following:
- Bachelors degree in accountancy
- Masters in accountancy
- Becme CA or CMA qualified by passing the examinations and getting sufficient work experience"

"In Spain, / city X / I studied Business Administration and completed nine courses including
Economics, Writing Communication Skills and Financial Markets. My first experience regarding accounting ended in failure. Through the retake course,however, I tripled my previous efforts and thanks to my persistence and quick mind, I began to show an exceptional performance in class and on my assignments."

This puzzles me. Why say there were nine courses but only list three of them? Was accounting a fourth one, not listed? Is it necessary ro mention your iniital failure? Did you ultimately pass and obtain a Business Administration qualification? You are very precise when you say you "tripled" your efforts. Is there any basis for this exactness? Personally, and subject to my queries, I'd just be inclined to say: "In ..........., Spain I studied for and passed a Business Administrationn course equivalent to ............ in Scotland."

Moreover, the more I studied the accounting matter, the more fascinated I became. I most enjoyed the comprehensive assignment that involved evaluating real-world financial statements by various methods and techniques, including ratios analysis and trend analysis. I achieved, on that paper, the maximum possible score and an overall grade for the course of 90 percent.

Perhaps "The more I studied the accounting content of the Business Administation course, the more fascinated I beoame. I really enjoyed the comprehensive final assignment that involved evaluating real-world financial statements by various methods and techniques, including ratios analysis and trend analysis. I achieved, on that paper, the maximum possible score and an overall grade for the course of 90 percent."

However, I'm not clear if the "paper" is the same as "the comprehensive assignment" or the accounting element of the Business Administration module and if the "course" refers to accountancy or Business Administration.

The high tuition in Spain forced me to look for other study opportunities. I transferred to University X, Germany and initiated an undergraduate programme, International Business Management, taught in English language. I successfully completed eleven courses including Accounting & Finance, Business English and Quantitative Business Analysis. Throughout my studies, I found the Managerial Accounting course most appealing to me. I especially enjoyed assignments related to identifying and evaluating production costs. This course significantly reinforced my determination to develop myself in the field of accountancy

This Patrick Kane debacle will blow over in a month right?... of course it will. he's USA'S golden boy?

We Answered:

I agree with everything your saying about crosby. I love him hes one of my favorite players and its complete bullsh*t that hes labeled a whiner and a crier and a baby. Hes the furthest thing from that. Hes one of the strongest players in the Nhl and probably the best overall player. He plays the body, he plays defense, he can score, and he is the best playmaker in the league no doubt. But on Patrick Kanes side I also like him and from what I have been hearing this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. The cab driver apparently doesnt have a drivers license and has 2 DWIs,sounds like a major scumball trying to get some money. Another thing I saw the interview of him the next day from when it happened and he didnt have any cuts or bruises on his face he looked fine its not like Kane and his cousin put the guy in the hospital or something. I think Kane will get let off from what it sounds like. What a scumball if this stuff isnt true and the cab driver was trying to make some money. Anyways great opinion on Crosby I agree 100%

I'm feeling pressured about choosing a college major - help me focus in the right direction?

We Answered:

Actually, you do not need to choose a major for a couple of years. At this point, you just need to choose to apply to colleges that have the majors that interest you.

Check the occupational outlook site for information on salaries and demand for occupations of interest to you. See if you can interview persons who are currently working in the careers that interest you. You might also be interested in managing non-profit organizations or working in project management.

You do not need to attend an Ivy League school to succeed in business, accounting, etc. Of the top 20 undergraduate business programs (according to Business Week), only two (Penn and Cornell) are Ivies. Some of the others are at elite universities, but not all.
