A Talk with Yale's Admissions Director
An Excerpt from the Q&A:

Q: How does your recruiting experience lend itself to MBA admissions?
A: For the past five years, I've worked on several [executive] searches at once, and at McKinsey, I saw how the company made decisions about where to recruit. I had to sift through thousands of résumés to get down to hundreds of people to interview. That experience helps me because I have the employer's perspective [when I look at applications]. I know how to look at a résumé and what employers are looking for. That's important in admissions at a professional school. Academics are a big part, but so are someone's career prospects.

Typically -- and on our staff -- admissions officers come from all sorts of backgrounds, so we can all use our perspectives when we're reading an application or interviewing applicants. One person might have a question about [an applicant's] work experience, and someone else will say, "I was in that industry, and that experience is a positive thing."

据悉,下周Yale会在北京和上海做hub interview。以前陆续谈过Yale面试问题,现在在强调一下,仅供参考。我第一轮是adcom的人在上海做的interview,问了如下问题:

Go through your past experience, including your choice of your undergraduate college;
why business education?
why Yale?
how to add to Yale's diversity?
internship plan;
你有什么需要问她的问题。
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。

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。

我的好朋友昨天去了Yale,有幸见到了Mr. Yale,ONCAMPUS面试,并且听了一堂课。

朋友的背景是supply chain management,面试官是个2年级学生,对于这个领域完全没有了解,从non-profit出来的。面试时间exactly 30 minutes,问题都是标准问题,大概包括:

Why MBA
Why Yale
Why take ________ as your undergraduate
Why supply chain management
Why did you go to ________ for internship(undergraduate intern)
Extracurrilular activities
我这个朋友写过书的,送了本他的书给面试官。

总得感觉比较中庸,因为是blind interview,而且对方完全不知道自己做过什么,所以交流没什么火花。不求有功,但求无过吧。

祝他早日拿到offer!

完成了Yale校园面试。面试官是个三年级学生(joint degree),很友好。始终面带微笑。过程较轻松,聊天式的,主要涉及的有:

Why MBA
Why now
Career goal
Why Yale
没问什么leadership experience。但对我的简历很感兴趣,在里面找了几个问题,尤其是对我的业余爱好。总共用了45分钟。

面试完听了一节课,教授很风趣。我向他say hello, 他说,你很幸运,我刚刚已经上了一堂课了,练了一遍了。希望不会让你感觉boring.

现在就等结果了。有没有谁知道Yale会不会提前告诉你结果,还是非等到3月份的deadline才一块通知。

今天刚刚结束Yale的校园面试,又收到Zeros版主的信息,不敢怠慢,第一时间奉上面经。

2月11日晚抵达纽黑文,入住New Haven Hotel,99美元/晚(税后110.88美元),是Yale网上lodging list上最便宜的一家。

2月12日早10点抵达SOM招生办,办公室秘书先给我一张写有我名字的胸牌、一张当天课程安排表和一份SOM的宣传报,然后就等待面试。10点45份面试准时开始。一个二年级学生领我到二楼面试专用间,仅有一张小圆桌和两把椅子,总共问了5道问题:

What motivated you to choose your undergraduate major?
What motivated you to choose your job? (I didn’t change job after graduation.)
Why MBA?
Why Yale SOM?
What is the biggest challenge you face in your job?
我逐一回答,语速较快,他则不断记录。面试时间30分钟,我回答了27分钟,最后3分钟我提问。我提问的问题他答不上来,说可以稍后通过电子邮件给我答复。

面试结束后,一位教授给十几位来访的面试者简单介绍了Yale SOM的情况,大概20分钟。然后来了4位一年级的student host,教授离开。4位学生接着介绍基本情况,约10分钟,然后领着所有面试者参观SOM的campus。SOM校区很小,总共就4栋小楼,外表比较陈旧,但内部装潢和设施较新。然后领我们到SOM的学生食堂吃午饭(免费提供)。吃完后一年级学生离开,面试者分头行动,有的回招生办面试,有的开始旁听课。我由于时间充裕,接连听了两堂课,1点至2点20分和2点40分至5点,分别是advertising management和Business, Government & Globalization。感觉两堂课教授讲课均占95%的时间,学生有提问和回答,但非常简短,没有热烈的课堂讨论场面,使我在听第二节的课时昏昏欲睡。第二堂课教授挺幽默,讲课前和我打招呼,然后和同学们说“You should behave today. We have a visitor!”大家都笑了。

5点结束时回到招生办取行李,发现一位秘书在等我,说4点半招生办就下班了。我表示歉意。然后她给我叫出租车,说20分钟就到。我和她边等边聊,但直到5点40都没来。她又打了电话,才被告知不知什么原因前面订的出租车取消了,只好再订一回。6点我搭出租车离开,她也下班。我们俩是最后离开招生办的人,倒也蛮有意思。我对耽误她准时下班表示歉意,她毫不介意。

总体感觉Yale SOM的现在最大的宣传卖点就是其综合核心课程(integrated new core curriculum),学院显要位置都有宣传海报。遗憾的是我听的两堂课都是选修课,未能领略核心课程。但一起来面试的一位印度裔金融人士私下和我说,Yale的综合核心课程也有marketing的成份,其他商学院虽仍按照传统分科教学(finance, economics, accounting等),但也同等注重综合教学方式。本人没有商业背景,不敢妄加议论。就校园而言,SOM谈不上美丽。我自我感觉今天面试做得很好,如果有幸获得offer,我还是会很激动的。毕竟Yale的名气太大了,非常具有吸引力。
