hi, hswang,
since u r so responsive and sound so experienced, i came to ask you other questions regarding interview. tomorrow i will have an interview with admission director! so really hope that you can help me.
when they ask me to briefly introduce yourself, which is the usual question, how should i respond? this is such a general question that i have a lot to say and also have really few to say. to tell them the history of my growth or just focus my strength.
if they ask me what other schools have i selected, should i respond honestly? what is the best question you suppose to get if u r the interviewer.
besides, how many and what kind of questions can i ask the interviewer?
thank u!
Glad to see you again! According to your previous information, you should haven't submitted your essays to b-school. So the admission director know nothing of your essays. When you are asked to introduce yourself, you can use the essay"please elaborate your career progress and why MBA at this point?", you can also add your education ackground. However, remember not to recite your essay, but transform them into oral english, brief anf concise. Don't start on your strengths so early. They just want to know your history in this question. They will learn your strength in later specific questions!
When asked what other schools you've selected, you'd better response honestly. No need to specially choose some top schools. You should be able to give him sound reasons for your selection. If I am the interviewer, what i want to get most from this question is whether the appllicant has the ability to position himself and find match with schools.
2-3 questions are apporpriate for you to ask the interviewer. You should seize this opportuinity to tell that you've know the school well, and want to learn more in order to show your strong interest in the school. So ask some special feature about the MBA program, or some historical events, some activities, clubs, forums etc. You should know them, but want to deepen your knowledge on them through asking the interviewer. Don't ask those too general questions that most applicants would ask.
Don't be nervous. They just want to check your identity, test your language and communication abilities, and evaluate your candidacy as a business leader.
That's my advice. Good luck with your interview tommorow.
Sincerely,
H.S.Wang
