Zhu Yilin: A top student at Columbia University not far away

Reporter Liu Liwei

With her straight black hair, fair round face, simple sports bag, and casual denim clothes, she does not have the slightest sense of being "elite" and distant; the smile that always hangs on her face makes her more fresh and lovely. This girl named Zhu Yilin is20106932_6968

When Zhu Yilin, a science student, was in her junior year, she transferred to another w88 casino and became a member of the finance major. Zhu Yilin, who was born in a "financial family", said she didn't think too much when she transferred to another w88 casino: "My parents are both in the financial industry, so I have been familiar with it since I was a child." She also laughed at herself and said that she was a science student who was "stupid" than others. She could not learn science and engineering courses such as mathematics and physics, but she could not erase the thinking of a science student, so she chose finance as an eclectic subject.

As early as her sophomore year in high w88 casino, Zhu Yilin had decided to apply for graduate studies at foreign universities. For six years, she never wavered. She believes that foreign financial education started earlier and has now formed a relatively complete system. Many textbooks currently used in China are original English versions purchased directly from abroad; the authors who wrote the textbooks are also professors from well-known foreign universities. Therefore, studying abroad can not only obtain overseas job opportunities, but also directly communicate with industry elites and gain deeper knowledge.

Zhu Yilin also objectively realizes that it is extremely difficult for Chinese people to integrate into the white circle. In addition, in recent years, the overseas job hunting situation has not been optimistic. It is not easy to stay in the United States and develop. She firmly believes that if she wants to achieve success in her career, she must eventually return to China for development. After graduating from graduate w88 casino, the purpose of studying in the United States for internships and working is to accumulate experience, enrich your experience, and broaden your horizons.

She was not surprised to be admitted to Columbia University this time because she had already made sufficient preparations. In her sophomore year, she quit the student organization and began to concentrate on studying and improving her grades. In the second semester of her junior year, she participated in a half-year exchange program at Columbia University and achieved 100% in all subjectsA's excellent results. The six-month exchange also gave her a preliminary understanding of the American lifestyle. In addition, TOEFL andGREAlthough I was rushed to prepare for the exam, I still achieved good scores. She believes that she has no particularly outstanding projects, but each one has met the standards required by the schools she applied for.

Speaking of employment direction, Zhu Yilin looked embarrassed: "This has always been a problem for me. "She originally thought simply that she should go to an investment bank because of her financial background, but gradually discovered that investment banks value interpersonal skills more than professional skills. The accumulation of strong professional knowledge does not seem to be an advantage in this situation. Now, she is more inclined to become a financial analyst.

Looking back on her four years in college, Zhu Yilin lamented that she learned a lot from her teachers. She believes that teachers have many strengths and charms that are not easily displayed in the classroom. Only by communicating with them frequently and insisting on learning from them can we gradually discover these shining points. Many freshmen who have just entered college are not willing to choose teachers who have a lot of things to do, but Zhu Yilin said as a person who has experienced it, those who have a lot of things to do are often good teachers. They can make three-point classes as fulfilling as four-point classes, allowing students to master knowledge to the maximum extent.

The roommate is the joyful element in her life. Recalling every detail of the four years, she smiled and said: "From freshman to senior year, our topics became more and more in-depth. We could talk about anything, and we also joked with each other about 'sarcasm'." As the interview came to an end, one of Zhu Yilin's roommates was waiting nearby, packing her things. She raised her head and smiled sweetly and said, "I'm going to watch a movie!" Putting her bag on her back, this cheerful and friendly girl ran into the sunshine outside.
