今天凌晨收到邮件，心情很激动。忙乎了一年终于有了个完美的结局。我想我的经历还是验证了整个申请的过程想清楚“自己是谁”、“自己发自内心想要做什么”这些最根本命题的重要性。我的GT是有硬伤的，工作年限也偏长了，sales的背景也毫无优势，但是整个申请过程的不断思考让这些根本性问题的答案越来越清晰也越来越坚定，在最后essay的写作过程中会感受到喷薄而出的力量的。
另一个感受就是，不能改变的就不要多想了，能改变的要花百分百努力做到最好。其实没所谓哪个重要哪个不重要，我的情况也不说明G/T就是浮云。申请是个整体的package，哪个部分都是越强越好，但有的东西是历史轨迹，比如学校、工作，还有运气，甚至比如G/T（我G4T3也就这个结果。。。），这些东西一旦定型就不要再郁闷了，花心思向前看focus on能做好的事情是申请的心态中最重要的一点吧。

- Male
- Undergrad 华南TOP 1 school, 文学学士, GPA 3.4
- Top FMGC MNC, Brand Manager in China.
- 5.5 years WE in Marketing
- GMAT 750 / TOEFL 116 / AWA 6 HBS在上海的ADCOM interview就非常的中规中矩. 问题包括: 1. 澄清工作职责和主要挑战 2. 你做了什么令你的品牌取得成功 3. 你从工作中学到的最多的是什么 4. 你的职业目标是什么, 为什么选择现在离开 5. 你会为HBS带来什么 6. 还有什么想告诉我的. 简单的来说, 我的HBS面试体会就是understand yourself & be yourself. That’s it.
回想短暂而忙碌的MBA申请之路, 5个月前萌生申请HBS的念头时, 这个梦想是那么遥不可及. 我选择的快攻打法, 能做的只有坚持相信自己, 分析barriers选定priority, 把所有精力专注在攻克每阶段的最关键的问题. 脚踏实地的做好每个细节, 加上那么些许的灵感和好运, 也许梦想并不像自己想的那么遥远.

G760+6, T118. Interview questions from HBS in London:
- Talk me through how you end up where you are.- It's really about personal experience and the decision process along the way I suppose.
- Asked me something that stands out in my CV... and asked why I think I am good at it.
- Tell me about your comany, your industry, and your competitors. What does your company do?
- In your opinion, what does your company not do, but should do?
- Do you believe in what you are doing will make a difference for your company?
- What do you want to do after graduating from HBS? In long term?
- What kind of news do you follow? (There's your book question!)
The whole session was 30 min sharp. The interviewer was really friendly and complimented me all the time, making the conversation very relaxed. I felt good connection with my interviewer. Guess was just lucky!
Tips of interview? As many people mentioned, know yourself, and be yourself probably is the most important. No surprise or trap questions. The interviewer showed genuine interest in knowing me - which is nice!
