先问我对Yale印象如何,我说很好,刚在admissions 门口喝了街头卖的蘑菇咖喱汤,很美味,面试关说那是第一天开始卖,好像是学生做来卖的Start with High School, what was your experience like in high school (我说了一下我来美之后的文化冲击和挑战,参加乐队等)
Why did you choose your undergrad college? What was your college experience like (我说了我喜欢的课程,公益活动,社团活动,还说我本科学校也很小,200人左右,我很喜欢小学校的感觉,每个同学老师都认识)
Why did you choose to intern at X company? Why did you choose to work at Y company? (我把这些工作中最有意思和跟我未来目标有关联的部分大概介绍了一下)
Looks like you are accomplished already, why do you want to get an MBA and why Yale? (我说首先我需要Yale的名气,因为以后回国或去别国工作会有人没有听说过我本科的学校,还需要Yale SOM 以及 broader Yale University的校友network, 还有它的综合教育,因为我本科学的很专)
好像是问我有没有想补充的/问他的问题,我借机会说我现在工作繁忙但每周抽时间Volunteer, 帮助黑人和西班牙裔高中生申请大学,从他们身上学到的东西比我可以教给他们的东西多多了,感觉yale学生都很乐于助人所以觉得这种话一定要说出来,还说了我帮助现在的公司招募新职员,跟校友和申请人讲我的工作等
I just have one last question for you, if your boss told you that you have a day off, what would you do (I work 7 days a week)? (我那时已经说累了,鼓起所有的力气很兴奋的把我平时的爱好说了一气)
面试总共40分钟,出门时他还问我是不是想好了真要上mba,我心说废话,然后跟他说是阿,我大四就考了G,早就想好了
这个成功的面试是之前几个不成功面试的积累,之前我就很passive,人家问什么我就答什么,回答简短不知道推销自己。自己的亮点明明还没有说,最有人家问我有没有补充的时候只弱弱地问几个问题。不过后来也有过几个不错的面试可最后也都没有offer,所以这些申请还是很random的。。我还记得一开始大家都告诉我面试时候要Be yourself, 还有人说我比较内向但没关系,因为商学院想要各种各样的人,如果我完美的话就不需要去商学院了。之后才明白商学院就是喜欢外向会表达自己的啊!
我6个面试之后最大的教训就是: DON'T just be yourself! SELL YOURSELF!!! And be as energetic and passionate as possible, if you feel your energy pouring out as you talk and feel exhausted afterward, you've had the best interview to your ability.
