UNC MBA interview上海面经[2011-09-09]
两个小时前才从shangrila出来，酒店的夜色确实很美，黄浦江美景尽收眼底。和Sherry Wallace聊了一小时，她的几个问题听来普通，却让我想了很久。在没开始essay的时候就面试确实有些冒险，但如果没有直接和admission的接触，自己的思路也不会逐渐清晰。
要感谢UNC的校友在论坛发布的面试预约消息，也要谢谢UNC肯extend面试的时间，帮忙加出这样一个机会！
Sherry一开始就说了很多关于面试的问题答疑解惑，主体思想是为了阐明面试的公正、无偏颇 - 不受时间、地点、面试官、或者面试方式的影响。她谈到65%的申请人会到UNC做面试，也说起过段时间就会有网络预约面试的渠道，还很好奇我是何种方式得到信息并联系学校的。
面试的问题比较常规，一半的问题是看到我的简历或者根据我前面回答的信息来提问的。学校留足一小时时间问的这么细致确实是很重视每一个申请人。
[1] why MBA?
[2] short term, long term goal?
[3] how do you choose your major?（前面一个问题聊到了教育背景）
[4] tell me about your current position.
[5] how do you decide to be a XX?(我所作的工作） what drives you to make this decision?
[6] how do you compare or balance the gain and scarifice of getting a MBA? Considering that you have to quit your job and study two years abroad when you already have a good career path... (admission很想知道申请人有多determined, 还是why MBA, what can MBA bring to you 吧）
[7] how do you choose a b-school?
[8] tell me about one of your disappointment in the past
[9] tell me one accomplishment
[10] how will your co-workers describe you?
[11] what can you bring to UNC?
[12] where do you want to work after MBA?
[13] what makes you quit company X and move to current company? and relocate to Shanghai? (针对个人简历的问题）
[14] tell me about your stay at company X (a short stay-less than four month). and how you move to current company? (对工作年限久的申请人问的问题很多，想了解职业规划吧）
面试中sherry 谈了很多UNC的一些情况，学校不想成为一个典型的finance school或marketing school，希望做到well-rounded；学校很注重collaborative style; Inspire and forge leadership是学校很关注的方向- 谈了STAR project, sustanable enterpise, global business project 等具体的一些项目，还提到PIM国际学校交换项目上UNC的选择有很多。末了说到了中国的alumni在逐年增多，十年前来这里没有很多校友可以见，现在在不同领域不同职务的校友北京、上海、新加坡都有。
这些信息在网页上也能看到，但从admission director口中听到就觉得格外真诚！ |
