志愿：分尽其用更要深谋远虑

考生孙雪是2002年黑龙江省某重点高中文科毕业班学生。她的数学成绩突出，文科综合较弱。性格相对内向，办事踏实认真。报志愿时，她原来志愿目标是进京上中央财经大学或对外经贸大学，学习会计专业，从她估分在570-580之间来看（当年预估本科一批线为530分左右），这个目标较难实现，如果进京只能进一所实力不是很强的财经类院校或一些普通院校的财经类专业，中央财经大学和对外经贸大学基本没有希望。是选择进京还是选择外地实力较强的财经类院校，在二者不能兼得的情况下，她放弃了进京的想法报考了会计专业中实力很强的中南财经政法大学，结果被顺利录取。由于她大学学的专业和自己的强科——数学相匹配，再加上良好的学习品质，她的学习成绩始终名列前茅。06年在大学生就业压力比较大的条件下，她顺利通过面试、笔试被外交部录用。
