WUSTL SCM R2录取，弱背景靠PS和面试逆袭，申请季节终于结束！

Mine

对我而言，申请季结束了。漫长的等待与焦虑。曾担心自己没有offer要怎么面对过年亲朋的询问，曾为父亲每一次叹息而焦虑。。但终于，我不再需要纠结了。25号就收到了Offer，今天才挤出时间写总结- -

首先爆BG：
720 106 985 211 本科新闻+经济学
一些比赛的国奖（电商项目），内资投行+内资小咨询实习+大国企（PR实习）+sales经历+海外志愿者经历。无paper，无SCM相关经验。土鳖一个。Olin的offer实在让我太过惊讶，因为我的BG不强，且没有SCM经历，本科也不是相关专业的。所以我将我的胜利归结为PS+面试。

首先PS
Olin的PS应该是我到目前为止写出的最完美的一篇，代表着学渣楼主目前最优秀的英语写作能力了。。因为真的很喜欢这个项目，所以我看了一些SCM的书之后才写的。比如《供应链管理：利丰集团的管理实践》、论文还有一些微博上的评论，然后了解SCM的trend才开始写的。另外我反复强调了我为什么要读SCM，因为我为这种organize和control的活着迷。另外，我也详细的说明了我如何建model解决问题的。毕竟做项目做了一年，有挺多感悟。

第二轮面试
感觉olin的面试比较freestyle，最关键的是要证明我真的很喜欢你们的program，以及我虽然是炒鸡优秀的孩子，但是通过你们我还能在XX方面提高吗，只要加入olin，我感觉我马上就能出任CEO当上总经理迎娶白富美走上人生巅峰。根据这个思路来准备。千万别念essay和CV，面试官都看过了。
我跟面试官laura聊了40多分钟。全程信号非常好，无delay。最后我问她我能不能用10分钟强调一些东西。然后我激情澎湃的演说了每段经历都是宝贵的只要能够学到东西（楼主大学英语辩论的激情都用上了- -）。我从来不觉得我学新闻是弱势，相反我采访过很多人，我对社会的认知比他人成熟多了blahblah个人称述了好久。。

感觉olin真的很open minded（但是真的好喜欢有国际交流背景的学生- -!）只要show出你的passion和determination，用心写essay，用心把自己的激情在面试中表现出来，你可以的。

粘贴面经：


刚刚她面试完，Laura非常nice。所以大家不用紧张。一边面试的时候她会把你说的关键点记录下来。

她很free style，其实真的没有什么好准备的。。be yourself最重要。她会顺着你说的话去问你。比如我说了我很喜欢quan的东西，她就问我为什么喜欢quan 的东西。我说我喜欢data，她就问我为什么喜欢data。
然后看到我家很多书，问我喜欢不喜欢读书，爸妈干嘛。
她问我为什么喜欢olin
为什么想要到United states读书
最大的挑战是什么
怎么解决
有没有国外生活的例子，去过哪些国家，志愿者的经历
为什么想要学SCM（这点LZ居然没有答好。。）

她也会自己说很多东西，比如olin的culture是什么，他们想要什么，fit最重要。
Laura 的语速很慢，不要怕听不懂，还有我们面试的新号挺好，没有任何技术问题。

如果过了时间她没有打给你，可以等一等，因为有的applicant会耽误一些时间。
QA的问题我就是问一下学校的校招，她挺热心说了很多，但是其实网页上都有了，大家可以别问这个问题了。。这个跟找工作不一样，不是你问问题的可以决定一些东西，Laura只是simply想要让你clear关于这个项目的任何问题。

还有R1 结果会在2月前出来。
