The following points briefly outline my four qualifications that might fit your expectations for a McKinsey Scholar.

My current GPA is *.** and I was awarded the ***** Academic Excellence Scholarship and the ******** Scholarship.

* A Combination of Local Knowledge and International Experience

In addition, several educational exchange programs have enabled me to listen to and interact with peers from different cultural and education background.

* Leadership, Strategic Thinking & Detail Oriented
My leadership positions in student government and the success of my Greater China business students exchange forum demonstrate that I am not only equipped with leadership vision, but also a practical ability to get things done .

* Excellent Presentation and Communication Skills
