Student Testimonials

Since I finished this competition, I have a little goal. I really want to go into investment banking. I am also very interested in finance. Investment banks have two ways of quantifying and issuing. After participating in this competition, I learned from the professor that math is very important to finance, so I resolutely changed my other major from accounting to math.

I knew nothing about investment before, but I learned investment rules, quantitative analysis and other knowledge in the process of participating in YIS, and now I can analyze company stocks rationally, so as to make investment. Originally, I majored in business economics, but after attending YIS, I also want to consider finance!
