JPA-business administration

[989Lee]

Can any senior tell us business students what to study in the course? As for SAT, what subject combination should we do? What are the ivy schools in JPA list for business? Which sector we will work for after we come back? Thank you for answering in advance! :)
one more question, actually i am interested in investment (is this course called finance?) but since jpa doesn't offer the course in investment, so i chose business, later to be major in investment (finance). is my 'plan' correct? or should i choose economies instead? or since chen chow said something like although v are major in a certain course, v only study 20% of it in us universities. Does it mean my principal 'knowleadge' is in business and not investment?

my first time hearing that would be from Trump's mouth during The Apprentice...

Hey..Noe what? There are only 14 ppl who get Business Administration under JPA this year... Nowonder this thread is soOOoo...
I am just like you,lee, who got the Business Administration but i will be doing ICPU in Taylor's.... I m trying to ask whether there's a way for us to focus on certain aspect like finance...As what i know, Business Admin. is actually very general and i dun like things which are too general...If possible, i would like to focus on Finance, is there anybody to give me some suggestions about that?

[davidchak]

Yes. It is possible. There are even people under BA but doing accounting instead

[WenwooN~]

But how to do so? Just change d course secretly or need to inform JPA about it?

[davidchak]

No need. Just apply to that course, go for it. Thats all. JPA wouldnt care more about it. lol

They might just ask CASUALLY, what course u taking. As long as it falls into that bidang, its okay. Finance, Business Admin, investment, etc all falls under Bidang Perniagaan
