Carnegie Mellon University, Interview is over
Adcom came to Beijing to interview 4 applicants this morning, and then flied to Seoul tonight.
Due to the low yield (about 50%), they will collectively admit about 20 students in China mainland.
It was just a personal talking. We did mentioned some general questions.
I asked him a question (Maybe I should not, but I reckon that you guys want to know):
"what makes the admission officer to pick me out as the interviewee, or
perspective student from all applicant?" ----------- I am really
interested in their admission process.
He said:" ..........GMAT, Working Exprience and Achievements, or something like that."
From this, I know that they -adcom- would NOT carefully review,
compare all essays and select interviewees. They often use common
indicators initially, although they will review the interviewees'
application material carefully eventually.Of course, at least for CMU,
one of the schools that give decisions much early.(For example, Mar 14,
round 2)
This may be an efficient way. Knowing this, we will be clearer about how to get noticed at a early stage. |
