Explanation for being qualified for a Language Requirement Waiver

Dear Sirs or Madams, tC

I am applying to your Full-Time MBA program beginning in the Fall 2020. I would
like to write this letter to confirm that I am qualified for a TOEFL/ IELTS waiver
an
based on your requirements.

I received a bachelor’s degree from Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University and a

ic

master’s degree from Kyoto University in Japan. Both were English-taught programs.
(English was the primary language of instruction). In addition, as my work
pl

environment has been highly international and English is also the working language,
I believe I have enough English skills for your MBA program.
Ap

I am looking forward to your kind consideration.

With regards,
Quang-Khanh Truong

Simon MBA Essay

Quang-Khanh Truong (Robert)

Essay 1 (Required):
In 250–500 words total, respond to the following prompts:
Describe your short-term and long-term goals for post MBA or post MS.

y
Identify a back-up plan should your short-term goal not be immediately attainable.
How does your past education and experience support your career objectives?

op
What aspects of your intended program make it a good choice for your graduate
study?*
tC
My short-term for post MBA is to become a manager focusing on corporate finance
at a multinational corporation, thus, utilizing my analytical and financial knowledge.
an
In the long-term, I am motivated by the prospect that I could make use of my
knowledge and experience to contribute to the society through providing finance
consultation & training for international projects. Ultimately, I want to become an
ic

inspired senior consultant who can put academic knowledge, creative thinking, good
personality and experience to good practice in the consulting field.
pl

If my initial career is not realized, I would return to Vietnam, the country where I
was born, to become a professor teaching corporate finance and project
Ap

management. As a part of the development strategy for the period of 2011-2020,

Vietnam aims at reducing the gap of economic development between Vietnam and
other Asian countries, and making it continue an attractive place for foreign
investment. To do so, Dr. Justin Lin from World Bank suggests that Vietnam should
change from a labor-intensive-production into a productivity-based model. Thus,
this is also my way to contribute to improving the quality of Vietnam’s workforce.

I started my career with Tokyo Drawing as a management trainee after graduating

with a bachelor's degree in business from a university in Japan. I have gained
extensive experience in business development and project management in the
following years, and currently I am a project manager specializing in M&A for
Mitsubishi, a major Japanese brand in the leasing business with global presence.
However, I still feel a need to equip myself with a more solid background in
corporate finance to be able to deal with more complex investment and financing

1
FT_Essay_1 Takashi Tanemura

decisions for my firm. Making the decision to pursue an MBA in the US, I believe I
will gain knowledge from Simon’s professors as well as classmates’ experience. I
am also eager to share my diverse work experience in consulting, logistics, M&A,
as well as Vietnam and Japan cultures with my future MBA fellows.

The MBA offered by Simon Business School is exactly what I am looking for. Firstly,

y
it is a top program in Finance with strong ranking (#5 Top MBA for Finance in the
World by Princeton review in 2019) which will provide systematic knowledge of

op
finance and allow me to address more complex and challenging investment and
financial issues. Secondly, after my conversation with Simon alumni Jordan Griffin
(Simon MBA, 2017-2019), I am fully convinced that the university’s world-class
tC
faculty and its rigorous, quantitative-based curriculum are the perfect fit for me. In
addition, the diverse culture and community of Simon will prepare me to be a more
well-rounded businessperson, and particularly, equip me with necessary skills to
an
become a corporate finance manager in a multinational company.

*There is a part of my life that I would never forget and it made me who I am today.
No matter where life leads me to, it helps me keep believing in myself, staying
tC
determined and positive.

I was born and raised in small town in the mid-region of Vietnam. My father is an
an
alcoholic and living with a drunker was not easy. It was my mom’s amazing strength
and determination that supported and carried me through those suffering days and
nights. My mom struggled to carve out a living for our whole family, but she never
ic

ceased instilling in me the will to learn and to better myself through education. I
always took her advice to heart and tried not to give up my study amidst family
pl

problems and financial hardship. Graduated from my high school with honors, I was
one of the selected few who was awarded direct admission to any university in
Vietnam without having to take the required entrance exams. I entered the National
Ap

Economic University in Vietnam with a dream in my heart to graduate with

distinction, then start a career in business and take care of my mother and our
family.

I attended an outreach seminar by the Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University in Japan

and grasped the opportunity to studying abroad in Japan, firmly believing it would
exponentially broaden my knowledge and help me develop to my fullest potential.
However, Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University scholarship did not cover the living
cost for foreign students. After 5 months, I ran out of money. I quickly found myself
in a very difficult situation since I could not find myself a job to cover my living
expenses. The university is located in an isolated region with very little jobs for
foreign students with little Japanese language skill. I decided to ask a friend who
can speak Japanese to go with me to look for a part time job. After countless times
rejected, there was a family hotel agreed to hire me for cleaning and washing dishes.

FT_Essay_3 Takashi Tanemura
4583418

All my hard work paid off when I was promoted to work as a waiter just after 4
months. I was also awarded Teaching Assistantship from the university and Oita
scholarship from Oita Prefecture for my living expenses. In my 4th year, I was
nominated by the university to work for a technology company in Tokyo upon
graduation.

y
I realized that nothing is impossible with hard work and dedication.

op
*My MBA degree from Kyoto University is in project management in construction
industry, mainly taught by professors from engineering school of the university. That
is why I apply to Simon Business School and I believe that being admitted into the
tC
Simon MBA will be one my life’s milestones. I see the program as an opportunity to
hone my skills in finance, improve my business knowledge and networks, which
pave the way for me to fulfil my lifelong career dream in business.
