Testimonials from Fellows

If you’re not sure what to expect from the Fellowship, or whether it’s right for you, check out some of our testimonials from previous Fellows.
Eva Woo, for example, found that she was able to tell the story of the 2008 financial upheaval in China better because of what she learned on the course:
Luckily I am equipped to tell that story and be a part of that story with what was taught at the BER program: The inverted yield curve I first learned at the macro class two years ago predicted the recession long before anyone had a sense of it. The Foundation of Finance class taught me some of the perfect models behind the current bubble, one of the biggest in financial history.
Shefali Anand, meanwhile, felt it was a long shot to apply, but, found it was one well worth taking:
I should note that winning the WSJ fellowship doesn’t automatically result in a job at the Journal. But the exposure and knowledge that I got while at NYU would have propelled my career no matter where I ended up working. That long shot for applying to the WSJ Asia fellowship was well worth taking.
Jason Leow had already been working in China for six years as a reporter but since doing the NYU program has a much better feel for the nuances of the business story:
My job scope now includes banking and finance, a beat I’m able to handle because I had business journalism training at NYU.
Serena Ng also found the program added depth to her reporting:
The BER program equipped me with the skills I needed and taught me the fundamentals of corporate finance, accounting and economics. I also picked up some valuable investigative-reporting techniques.
Sui-Lee Wee has also derived confidence from the program:
Now, I know how to scour through a financial statement, I understand the major economic forces that shape this country and the world and I can write big-picture pieces about the current financial crisis.
