申请人是金融专业的学生，想申请会计专业，发邮件给学校叙述了自己的情况及所学课程，询问学校自己是否有资格申请该校的会计专业。对于这样的询问，三所学校给出了风格各异的回答。

我方去函：

        礼貌地提出询问：介绍自己是金融专业的大三学生，报上GPA和GT成绩，以及自己修过的两门会计课程，询问是否能够申请去该校读会计。

        接着介绍自己修过的20门金融课程和5门经济学课程，说明自己受到过很严格的专业训练。

        另起一段介绍自己修过的5门核心定量课程。告诉对方自己有很强的数学能力。

        总结询问：自己如此的学术背景是否有资格申请该校的会计硕士课程？紧接着补充说自己意识到自己的会计专业背景不足，所以打算在最后一学期选修更多的会计课程。

        表达自己对该校的兴趣，以及期待对方回复。

对方来函：

        校方表示任何专业的学生都可以申请该校的会计硕士，但是如果申请人被录取，将被要求在暑假赴该校修读一些预备课程。

        校方进一步表示，只有通过WES认证的成绩才是被承认的。请申请人不要寄送其他形式的成绩单。

对方回函：

        学校要求所有的申请人必须修完另一门重要的会计课程。而申请人已经修完的两门课程不能满足学校对专业课的要求。因此校方建议申请人修完所有必需的课程后再申请。

对方来函：

        对方很客气，首先感谢申请者的关注。

        随后，对方提供了该校公布的申请资格，其中表示只要拥有任一商科专业的四年制学士学位就可以申请该校。

        对方还提供了申请的一些其他信息，如学制等。

        最后对方表示，如果有进一步的问题，可以继续询问。

Dear Admission Officers of Master of Science in Accountancy:

I would like to make an inquiry concerning the application for your Master of Science in Accountancy (MSA) program. I am a senior undergraduate student in Finance (my GPA is 3.5/4.0, my TOEFL score is 95 and GMAT score 730). However, I am very much interested in your MSA and I wish to apply for the program. I have some basic training in accounting and have attended 2 courses—Financial Accounting and Computerized Accounting.

However, as a student of finance, I have substantial training in finance, covering nearly 20 courses that include: Money and banking, International Finance, Corporate Finance, The Modeling of Financial Times Series, Commercial Bank Management, International Investment, Economics and Business Research Methods, International Financial Management, Corporate Financial Strategy, Investment, Public Finance, International Trade, Security Investment Analysis, Financial Derivatives, Financial Risk Management, Law of Corporate Finance, International Economic Law, Business Law (final year). In addition, I have also attended 5 courses in Economics—Microeconomics, International Economic Law, Political Economy, Macroeconomics, Econometrics.

In addition, I have attended five core quantitative courses—Advanced Mathematics (I), Advanced Mathematics (II), Applied Statistics, Probability and Statistics, Linear Algebra.

I would like to know if my academic background as described above can qualify me to applying for your MSA program. I realize that my foundation in accounting is insufficient, but I plan to take several accounting courses in the final semester of my undergraduate program so that I can strengthen my accounting foundation. Nevertheless, in my academic transcript for the past three years, there are only two accounting courses and I want to know if I am qualified to apply and if my background in finance and mathematics can compensate for my weakness in accounting.

I am truly interested in entering your MSA program and your kind reply will be highly appreciated.

Attached is my Official Academic Transcript for your reference.

Yours sincerely;

Ting Cheng

Hello Ting Cheng,

In response to your question, anyone is qualified to apply to our program regardless of whether you have an accounting background or not. If you are accepted, you will be required to take some prerequisite courses at our school in the summer.

As to your transcript, I am not allowed to look at any transcripts that do not come from WES systems.  Please do not mail them either.  Please refer to the Schools of Business website for specific information regarding applying and materials to submit.

Have a good evening,

DearTing Cheng,

Thank you for your interest in the MS in Accounting program. We require that you have the prerequisites of Intermediate Financial Accounting prior to applying to our program. The two classes you have described for accounting do not meet the criteria for this course. We encourage you to apply to the program once the prerequisites have been completed.

Hi Ting Cheng,

Thank you for your interest in the Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) at XXX University’s XXX School of Business (Xxxxxx Campus). 

Eligibility:  Students may apply to the MSA program after earning a bachelor’s degree in business (4-year U.S. equivalent) from an accredited college or university or during their senior year of college.  Work experience is not required.  This full-time program can be completed in one year.  There is no spring admission.  Students must have an undergraduate degree in business and complete the prerequisites at their home university or a regionally accredited institution.
 
I hope this helps.  If I can be of any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
