Paddy G - UIUC – Finance 2012

In 2012, he was admitted to the University of Illinois at Champaign and Urbana in the United States to study for a master's degree in finance. Paddy graduated from SFU with a major in Marketing and a minor in Finance. Because he didn't devote all his energy to his studies, his academic performance was not satisfactory, and his GPA only exceeded the minimum requirement of 3.0. After graduation, Paddy went to work in a bank in Vancouver. He was quickly promoted to Account Manager and his salary increased accordingly. However, he still wanted to be an excellent fund manager, so he gave up his job and promotion opportunities and chose to study in the United States for his Master's Degree in Finance. Under the personal tutoring of Dr. Liu, through the implementation of the MBA program, Paddy scored 710 points in the GMAT test, and successfully entered one of the top 10 professionally ranked Master’s programs in finance. Now developing in Shanghai, he is the Vice President of a large international multinational investment company.
