UCLA MBA off-campus interview (3-6) R2
一、相关时程:
我是申请R2的，在2/27收到邀请，3/2学校通知"配对成功"的校友，3/6进行面试(3/12是学校方面给的面试期限)，
3/31是公告的R2 decision release date
二、面试前的程序:
(1) 学校发出面试邀请后，需回复选择on-campus或off-campus，若是on-campus需进入一个系统登记时间，若是off-campus也另外要告知偏好面试的国家/ 城市，学校会在两个工作天内告知"配对成功"的校友姓名、联络方式(email)与完成面试的期限。
(2) 通知"配对成功"后，申请者需自行联系校友并约定面试时间地点。
(3) 面试我的校友在面试之前有请我把履历表与所有essay(含影片那题!)寄给他，事后也证明这位校友的确都有看过相关材料，相当用心! 而面试前我也对对方的相关背景做了功课，所以大概可以先想好当天想问校友的问题。
(4) 个人猜测UCLA在配对校友与申请人的时候，多少有考虑背景的相关性，所以针对这个部分可以先做准备。
例如我的履历表中有提到企业内部财务分析与供应链的相关经验，面试我的校友同样也有类似背景，甚至也是NTU校友; 而另外一位收到面试邀请的朋友，她的背景偏向金融，学校配给她的面试校友也正好是银行业。
三、面试当天:
约在星期六下午的台北某家星巴克，根据经验这个时段通常各分店都很多人，所以我提早到了一些，除了暖身之外，也确保坐的位子比较舒适安静、适合谈话。
以下是我被问到的题目，真的相当详细又节奏明快，整个过程大约一个小时，不过校友并没有抄笔记，因此是否有固定题目清单就不得而知了:
(1) Why MBA? Why now?
(2) Why Anderson? Why CA and why LA?
(3) What's your career goal? (short-term and long-term)
(4) What club do you want to attend?
(5) How do you see the role of 'networking' in the two years of MBA life?
(6) How would people describe you?
(7) What's your personal strength and uniqueness that could contribute to the student body?
(8) What's your weakness?
(9) What's your leadership style? Give me a story.
(10) In a group, do you tend to be a leader or a follower? Why?
(11) What are your hobbies?
(12) Have you ever discussed your MBA plan with your supervisor? How did they respond?
(13) Talk about your internship experience at college.
(14) Talk about your career switch. What's the difference between the role in job A and job B and which one do you like better?
(15) Other programs you apply to?
(16) Some detail follow-up and specific questions in my essays (around 5-6 questions)
(17) Questions for the alum. |
