MBA面談(Interview)大致分兩種:一種是未申請前主動向學校提出;另一種是在申請學校後,通過第一階段審核由校方提出。第一種情況,學生可選擇直接到該校面談或與該校校友面談。第二種情況,通常由學校決定進行面談與否及方式。若學校未派代進行面談,則可能採用電話訪談的方式。有些學校或許因申請人眾多,並不接受主動要求的面談,但也有學校要求所有申請者都需通過面談。面談的政策也可能隨年度改變,所以在申請時要仔細將申請表的說明看清楚。
撇开种种申请Tips不说,这里列举的是最基本的9条一定要避免的错误。 1. 申请材料不能作假,cheating在教育界是非常严重的问题。The applicant who lied on her application AND got caught.This woman breathed a sigh of relief when she got accepted to her top school and figured those lies on her application would never be found out. WRONG. Not only did the school she was supposed to attend find out she was telling tall tales, she was escorted out of school.So not worth it. 2. 不能张冠李戴,申请A校的材料写了B校的title,这种最低级的错误代价是很大的。The application for Harvard that began with, “Since I was a child, I’ve dream of attending Stanford Graduate School of Business.”It’s like calling your boyfriend by the wrong name. Sure, he could forget it, but he probably won’t.Make sure you have the right name with the right application. 3. Essay不是简历再述,而是要拿出在简历里面没有的东西来说服AO.The application that read like a re-shuffled resume.If you’re giving the admissions committee information they can already get from your resume, you’re not giving them information. 4. 这个对中国申请人貌似不是很适用,不过意思可以理解,过犹不及。The applicant who stalked his admissions contacts. If your contacts have to change their phone number, you’ve called too much.Needy doesn’t = Acceptance Letter. 5. 细节永远比大话更容易让人留下印象,引申一下就是避免假大空。The applicant who filled his application with big words. To quote Forrest Gump (kinda), “Smarter is as smarter does.” If you want to appear smart, be as well informed as possible.If you want to appear to be trying too hard, fill your application with words you don’t actually know how to define without using a dictionary. 6. 面试一定要好好 mock, 会有很不一样的结果。The applicant who didn’t practice for the interviews.Everyone from the president to your local priest practices for speeches and interviews.You should, too. Unless you think “boring” and “rambling” are the keys to a good interview. 7. 申请是all about you! 浓墨重彩的应该是你而不是其他给你影响多大的什么人。The applicant who went on and on about her parents.Even if you’re Malia Obama, it’s best to talk about yourself in your interview rather than focusing on your parents like this applicant did.Unless your parents are planning on attending B-school with you, they don’t need to be the focus of your application and interview. 8. 有要求就按照要求来,不要搞特殊化。The applicant who thought rules didn’t apply to him.Red flag alert: The applicant who can’t follow the rules is the employee who can’t follow the rules.Cut it out, rules are rules. They apply to you, no matter what you’ve been told before. 9. 在info session的时候不要太急于表现自己,还是那句话过犹不及。The applicant who grandstanded during info sessions.Be a nice person and a team player. Don’t hog the airtime or you come off like a hog. There’s only one reason to ask a question: because you want to know the answer. Otherwise, give everyone else a chance to ask the same question over and over again.
