I am back in Toronto, the interview went pretty ok. The interviewer is a second year student and her business card states that she is a member of the admissions committee. First of all, she explained the purpose of the interview was to help the school to know more about me, as well as an opportunity for me to get to know more about the program. She also briefly introduced her background, an investment banker at Goldman. ; E0 J d: L* `5 A L6 r3 G/ f1 R' o0 l* L, y6 I. D
As usual, she asked me to go through my resume, and then why mba. I guess I gave very specific answers to that question, eg improve my teamwork skills in a team environment, acquire specific knowledge by taking such such classes, get involved by joining particular clubs, so she didn't ask me the why wharton question. After that she asked me how I can contribute to the program and how I would handle team conflict. The last question was what concern that I believe the admissions committee might have, my answer was my age, one possible concern for younger applicants is that they are not as focused as their older counterparts, therefore once at wharton, a place full of resources and opportunities, they might got lost and end up accomplishing nothing if with no clear career objectives, as for me, I said I always have a clear goal of what to accomplish, I chose go back to school to develop a sound implementable business plan, build a team of accomplished individuals with entrepreneurial instincts, receive the training and knowledge required to execute my business plan, and of course have the Wharton brand name on my resume to attract angel investors. 8 g/ T, _4 @$ w) @- y$ Z* Y$ W+ F: x( H2 r* m9 u
In the Q&A section, I asked her what factors encouraged her to join the wharton community, and then we started to talk about some irrelevant topics, I shared my awkward experience at the restaurant called pod the night before, how I was surrounded by loving couples and spent the valentine day by myself the first time in 6 years. 1 K( v2 h* u5 |6 J$ W2 t0 O# j0 l# Q! g3 q, r/ @" J i3 V
Overall, the interview was more like a conversation and I totally didn't use the script that I prepared earlier. My strategy was to focus on my uniqueness as someone who has the small business background, and can contribute to class discussions especially in those entrepreneurial classes. I believe I have done the best I could, so there are no regrets.作者: kevinhrm 时间: 2006-7-12 12:33:43

我早到了,提前了二十分钟。我说不好意思早了,他说早了对他其实更好。寒暄两句就开始了。9 f9 z8 I) r0 c! v

他先简述过程,称面试是录取的必需过程。首先祝贺我走到这一步。这说明学校已经认为我是个不错的applicant, 但是接着就说中国的录取比率是非常低的。我就趁机问他可能的比率是多少,他说可能是8到10个取一个。我在心里说不会吧,不过嘴上没说出来。然后他说他的面试时很open的,他没什么问题的,主要是我讲。想讲什么讲什么。然后说开始吧。1 a r! \: C* `# O3 _% ~
2 n$ C4 w& \. R7 X+ U2 V我说好,开始讲Background, 讲完之后,他说’go ahead’, 我就有讲了Why MBA? Why Wharton?在讲why wharton时,因为我就申了这一所,他插话说我把自己置于一个非常危险的境地,因为top school 的admission process is quite random. 都讲完了他还说go ahead, 我说那我share 一个leadership story吧,他说可以。讲完之后他还没有问题,我又接着把strength and weakness说了一通。然后他终于憋不住了,问了问我以前公司和现在公司的情况在中国的发展状况。我随便说了说。因为我是从finance 转到general management的,他就问我很多人都想这么转,凭什么认为我能够成功。我又说了一下我的long term goal是怎么形成的,他说他并没有被说服,让我给他一个成功的例子。其实我身边有太多这样的例子,但是那时候脑子进水,不知怎么就给了一个很大的金融服务公司的大佬名字。他说因为这是一家金融服务公司,所以finance的人成为CEO并不奇怪。后来我还真有点急了,我把leader的三个要素说了一通,有说明一下为什么我认为自己拥有这三个方面的素质,从而可以成为成功的leader。他说OK,问我有什么问题问他,我就根据他的经历问了他几个问题。他这时候开始真正眉飞色舞起来,说了些自己的感受。5 q. p0 r- K' x4 L+ {2 s
& X9 N) q8 ^5 S% @ y [: E% ]总体感觉:因为我就申了Wharton一所,所以面试有点生涩,因为以前没试过。虽然做过mock interview若干次,但是感觉还是很不一样的。我想说的好多东西都没说出来,可能还是紧张的缘故,虽然当时也没觉得有多紧张。而且我说自己的long term goal的时候,说起来国内一个著名企业家在世界上的影响,他看起来一点也没有buy in或是打动,恨不得马上打断我。所以还是那句话:别紧张,别紧张,千万任何时候都要自圆其说。而且还得是特自信那种。作者: kevinhrm 时间: 2006-7-12 13:03:19

我提醒大家两个注意点:1)别忽视了如何选择你的本科院校这个问题。这是个很有意思的问题。你必须回答的有逻辑。2)绝对注意why yale。不要去一味鼓吹yale的non profit排名如何高,而一定要把why yale和你的career goal结合起来讲,这样比较有说服力。另外,谈谈yale大学的一些东西,毕竟yale是世界名校。在谈到yale MBA的时候,千万别忘了05年7月新的dean上任后学校的一系列变化,尤其是accountability这个核心内容,这可是yale MBA以后的的主打方向,是它的核心理念。你一定要显示出你对耶鲁大学、耶鲁MBA非常详尽的了解,以及对这个学校的热情,虽说yale的MBA排名不如传统MBA牛校,但它毕竟是耶鲁,绝对不会迁就录取一个对耶鲁不感兴趣的人的。 4 m, R) J/ V+ Q% s- t; O. s3 l) @0 O7 B
当然,第二轮interview有可能问的问题会与我第一轮遇到的略有不同,大家好好准备吧。作者: kevinhrm 时间: 2006-7-12 13:07:02

鉴于可能这周会出差,所以就约在20日面试。好在之前面试过好几次,匆忙准备就上阵了。面试问题和一般的面试差不多,也就是why MBA之类的问题。虽然这个校友很忙,面试只进行了20分钟,形式也很随便,但是面试官仍然有做笔记,而且好像有一个提问或者评价的提纲。比如问我一个teamwork的问题,面试官告诉我这是MBA面试都会问的问题。( v0 e3 Y7 K' |5 N

选了on-campus interview,the interviewer is a second year wharton student, very nice (and handsome as well:) 。at the beginning, the interviewer briefly introduced himself, then the interviewer informed me that the interview is not the final step of the whole application process. after the interview, the admission office will review my application materials again to determine whether to give me admission. . v! v) o& g/ T0 I0 B3 K $ F. t; r$ F7 Nwell, the questions were quite general, all within the list of questions for which I've prepared for, such as walk thru resume, why MBA, why wharton, short-term and long-term goals and hobbies. In addition to these questions, other questions are as follows:3 l: f. n$ x2 y3 G' t! {

等我问问题时,我先问了三个问题,1。他最喜欢wharton哪一点. 答曰diversified environment2. 如果他可以给wharton做一个改变,他想改哪方面. 答曰core courses 的规定较死板. 3 关于免修一些核心课程的问题。后来为了显示我对wharton的激情,我问还有没有时间,我可以再问两个问题,他态度很好的说可以我们还有几分钟时间,然后我就又问了两个。出来之后发现我基本上完全占用了两场interview之间的休息时间,真是不好意思。 5 v4 [6 f7 P4 v; y$ V( g, a/ S$ P; Z
到了今天,终于可以轻松了。没有问什么很challenging的问题,甚至没有问我的弱点在哪里,也可能是我在why mba里已经提到了一些过往经验中的不足之处吧。也没有问我有什么failure,how to deal with conflicts with teammembers, etc. anyway, I tried my best, and I believe adcom has their good reasons to make the final decisions.作者: kevinhrm 时间: 2006-7-12 13:10:16

1。 Please introduce yourself.(才说到我来自XX, people from there like spicy food。她秘书就跑进来说一个客户的电话一定要接的。原来约好早上的,但是我又没有空,而她下午就是客户电话不断的---她后来不断解释和道歉,呵呵。这个电话10分钟。) 8 _' M, c% T4 t# E: ^ . w/ \5 A!

10。Any question to me? (看她手机一直在振动,就问了一个问题。你为什么选择了Fuqua。她说当时最重要的原因就是在Fuqua和另一个学校都给她offer以后,Fuqua 做了很多事情让她感觉到学校很care她。具体说了一些小故事,比如找房子等等。还提到说面试她的校友后来发信祝贺她,还请她吃饭。我笑嘻嘻说了一句:希望也能收到你的祝贺信。有点肉麻,不过心里话啦。她就说会的,客套一下总是应该的。) * W% Y" y1 J6 y7 T, ^9 P 2 W7 S% \% D1 o, }# x3 m除去她打电话的10分钟,一共面试了30分钟。不过感觉比上次90分钟要舒服。可能因为她不是那种跟着instruction走,而是随时根据你说的东西来问你,感觉题目比较有新意,虽然问了一些从来没有想过的问题,不过essay里面的很多topic和想法都可以用来回答的,所以大家以后遇到也不要太担心。 + W1 s( }- Y, L; n9 f( k ! g `, f x+ {) F/ |希望对以后要面试的XDJM有点帮助!作者: kevinhrm 时间: 2006-7-12 13:23:26

X+ P9 p补充一点Ivey的面试经历。我是在class visit的时候面试的,当时申请已经交了,但学校还没有看。面试人是一年级学生,拿着resume来的。他先解释了为什么会由学生做interview,他说Ivey是完全案例教学,所以很看重学生对班级的contribution,由学生做interview就是由学生来判断他们希望跟什么人一起学习。面试问题很普通,除了问工作经历之外,问了一些情景问题,主要集中在leadership/team work方面,可以参看Ivey class visit tips一贴。我当时刚刚到加拿大,时差还没倒过来,加上好几个小时的class visit,很累了,面试的时候状态不太好。感觉是只要比较自信,说话不慌就基本上没有问题了。Ivey对工作经验和口语很看重,面试是最好的了解这两个方面的途径,所以如果有时间还是准备充分些比较好。' L! \( f5 [0 Y2 S; Z1 J% Z

我还在多大做了一个interview,虽然没有申请多大。Kate Mertes做的interview,时间很短,不到30分钟。她说一般不给没有申请的人做interview,但是由于我已经到加拿大去了(我之前email告诉她我专程去加拿大考察学校的)而且一再要求面试,所以就破例给我做了。问题主要是关于resume的,没有特别的问题,可能是因为我还没有交申请的原因。我告诉她我没有申请的原因是TWE只有4.5,没有达到多大5.0的要求,Kate说她看了我的英语很好,所以5.0的规定不必那么死,鼓励我申请。我当时是想先把interview做了,如果Ivey出了问题再做Rotman的申请,现在不必了。面试的时候没有压力,发挥得比较好。顺便说一下Rotman的感觉。Rotman在Toronto市中心,很繁华。学校的楼很新,一进门大厅中间有一个数字滚动屏显示各个股市的指数和外汇牌价,很有商业气氛,跟Ivey相对传统的气氛相比有很大区别。 $ B! b F* u: X- z) y" ^9 W2 K8 b2 Y, i3 Y) B
本来还打算去York做interview的(也是没有申请,只是想先做interview以备不时之需),但是到加拿大后跟一些中国人接触,大家都对York评价不好,所以就放弃了。(York的XDJM不要砍我啊,我只是道听途说,我自己对York不了解,也没有成见)作者: kevinhrm 时间: 2006-7-12 13:31:34

After that date, they started reviewing RD applications, and they started in the application order, thus those who submitted on 16th October are going to be reviewed first. If you applied in January, you will have to wait for all applicants who submitted before you to be reviewed, and that takes time. Do not worry about how much is your application in the same status (received, in process, etc). 9 f3 Q) n4 k+ O6 X, p' W

" T( G! V3 d- |% tAfter interviewing you can wait for 2 weeks or 1 day. In my case I was accepted 2 days after interviewing, but I know others who had to wait for 2 weeks or more. 7 s0 B: t; r) } T8 a 1 @6 t' a6 h/ U4 Z. j! }Most of the times you will receive a mail saying that your status has changed, but it is not true in every status change, so check you on line status page once in a while. In my particular case, I received the first mail when In process, and after when admitted. Interview invitations are announced by email. You will receive a letter from admissions congratulating you and giving you the possibility to interview (it is not mandatory, but suggested). You will be given 3 possible interviewers (you will be given names, email address and phone numbers). You can schedule an interview with any of the suggested interviewers (you will have to contact them). After the interview is arranged you will have to write in the application (you will find a link at the status page) who the interviewer is and the time appointed./ v/ D5 \8 Z7 m- F& w7 g$ c7 I

Interviews are held by alumni or actual students, no admission staff. The interview is blind, and in a very relaxed format. There are no standard questions but the usual (why columbia, career goals, etc). Be prepared to answer about yourself (past career, what do you enjoy doing, etc).% T, x! C6 n0 B5 b& P; L0 J. S
