Q:有很多人说tuck 是很多consulting 公司的favorite school。你觉得呢?
A:完全正确。首先我们每年有很多的毕业生是进入咨询公司,有很多之前就是consultant的, 也有很多是career switcher。而且很多咨询公司让他们的员工来tuck读书。例如,去年经济多差,bain 还是sponsor 了5个员工来tuck。他们会在bain 实习,毕业后也会回bain工作。(说到这,我就想起我联络过的一个多伦多的tuckie, 他就是10年前被bain赞助去tuck的,bain包起了学费,还有他和他老婆两年的生活费。毕业后,又回到多伦多的bain工作。)

Q:你对申请者有什么特别的preference 么?
A:官方回答通常是:team player, integrity, fit the school, leadership, and community involvement. But this is a very personal question since you asked about my preference. Ok, I will tell you the truth. 我个人非常喜欢有军事经验的。例如,我曾经很支持一个有5年military service经历的申请者,可我的一个同事说不行,他只有400分的gmat。 我很激烈的与我同事辩论,我说,5年军事经验,这就是leadership,this is outstanding! 可是这只是个人的preference, 我其他同事就会有他们自己的选择。例如,有两份中国申请者的package摆在办公室里给大家讨论究竟要谁,两份都一样好,我一个同事就坚持要一个gmat 低了20分的,说他会法语,并不是由很多的中国申请者懂法语。我这个同事就是很注重diversity的。所以,其实学校有自己的喜好,每个adcom officer 也有自己的喜好。

还有一些很普遍关于实习,课程,就业的问题,大家都可以在各大网站上找到,我就不说了。

顺便给大家报报当天观察到的数据:

95%是30-35岁,最大的是40多岁的女senior manager, 最小的是dartmouth的Senior,正在考虑读med school, 还是business school, 不过虽然她今年不报,她还是面了,如果决定明年要报的话,会再面一次;

90%是白人,接下来的是黑人,印度人,拉丁美洲人,印度人,中国人,菲律宾人;

70%是男人;

60%的人想做consulting and general management, 20%的人想做i-bank, investment management, pe/vc, 剩下的20%没机会聊。

其实这些数据都很有局限性,因为绝大部分都是美国本土的申请者。这也解释了为什么90%是白人,如果这是在北京的话,99%是中国人呢。但我觉得也间接反映了tuck的美国本土申请者的情况。想申请的同学可以作为参考。

这次的总结就到此为止了。我本人也在这次行程之后从interested 变成了 dedicated。再次谢谢几位tuckies 的热情与帮助,几位T'12 (希望能与你们做同学)和其他网友的祝福~~ 同时也希望众多CDer能对tuck有更多的了解,希望tuck明年会多点人报,今年yield rate 也可以得到提高。

Tuck面经

昨天下午在Tuck做完on-campus interview后就穿两州(NH, VT),过两省(QC, ON)开回多伦多,一路下冰雨,途中见到运油车事故,油罐炸得开花,山石烤得漆黑(希望司机没事),而且这两天new england气候暖和,导致路上严重大雾,为了安全,只能慢慢开,顺便沿途回想了这几天的经历以便贴在此跟大家分享。

先说大家最关心的面试吧,面我的是个二年级女生。地点在一study room。在从waiting room走去面试室的时候互相交流了一下背景。

坐下后直接进入正题。我觉得我有点背,因为刚开始回答问题时我就听见很响的,好像肚子咕咕叫的声音,停了下来,望着面试官,发现她也望着我。然后两人异口同声说 'sorry...',然后她抢着说,‘I am sorry, it's been like this all morning. I am not feeling very good today.' 才明白,哦,不是我。可接着下来她的肚子几乎每一分钟响一下,而且特别大声,让我非常分心,我在回答的时候好几次停下来问她是否ok, 所以说得有点断断续续,一开始最传统的resume, why now, why mba, why tuck 都没答好。我过了几分钟后才排除一切干扰,精神100%集中。

问题如下:

resume related questions (3 mins):
She didn't ask me to go through my resume, but broke down my resume piece by piece to ask me in details.
Why this undergraduate school?
What I did in my first job, second and third job?
What were the companies business except for the last one which was a Fortune 500 company?
What were my responsibilities?
What I enjoyed most at my current job?

Three whys (5 mins)?

TOP

behavioral questions (10 mins):
leadership example
example of a difficult time with a team member or client
She asked some questions based on my answers, such as:
Why did you do that?
Can you tell me more details on how you did that?
How big was the team?
Why was he difficult to deal with?
Do you think it was your problem or his problem? (This was a bit tough. I didn't prepare for this. It took me a while to come up with the answer as i didn't think it was all my fault but at the same time I didn't want to put everything onto the other person.)

Then she asked me if I wanted to add anything. I mentioned two reasons before while I actually had three, but she cut me short, so I mentioned the last point for why Tuck.

The last part was for my questions, I had three questions, but she only allowed me to ask two, and then sent me back to the waiting room.

她严格的把时间控制在30分钟,面试期间好几次提到了‘we are short of time/ we are running out of time.’。在我之前,之后她都有其他面试者。整个过程非常紧凑,但我觉得时间严重不够用。

在waiting room 里,有人面了45分钟,说面试官告诉他面试已经严重超时,但没关系,因为他之后没人。这些还是看运气的~~

根房间里其他人交流了一下,收集了一些其他问题:
tell me a time when you had a conflict with your team member.
do you think you are a team player? example.
do you like outdoor activities?

有一个经验,就是如果你要on-campus面的话,一定要注意控制时间,答案一定要精炼,简洁。因为面试官大多是二年级学生,面完你可能还要面其他人,上课,考试,或者有自己的job interview,所以在mock的时候一定要控制在30分钟。

总的来说,我觉得我essay写的还过得去,但面试就比较烂。接下来就是漫长的等待了。我一到了就直奔amy mitson 的办公室跟她聊了了会天,她刚刚才电面了一个澳洲女生,然后还做了几个on-campus interview。amy其实是专门read asian applications, 有兴趣的同学们应该多找她聊聊,因为她很有可能会读到你的application package。不过当然,Dawna自己会read every single application at least once。
