[录取汇报] In@Columbia and Yale

I
did the interview with Columbia yesterday. Amazingly, I got the email
notification today. The alum is a very knowledgeable New Yorker who
graduated from Columbia in 1982. He asked me the exactly same question
as Zombie provided in my last post. I didn't prepare in advance, but I
honestly told him that a frank conversation will help both of us to see
if this is the right fit. He said he really liked my personality and
career goals, think I can fit into Columbia student body really well.
So he would definitely vote for me. Then, I got the offer today...

我
迟到了一分钟。不过校友真得挺好，在愉快的气氛中侃大山了一小时。问到的问题跟Zombie说的差不多 - My interviewer told
me he had a list of questions he has to ask and provide feedback. 

至于我自己，官方的版本是很有决心要念，其实现在我还在耶鲁，Columbia，牛津，剑桥之间犹豫。

（1）其实是在读一年还是读两年，读一个专业排名高的，还是一个综合好的。

（2）考虑到现在的job market和自己现在比较好的工作前景，我也不知道是不是应该先在去念还是defer?

Here is the list of questions of Columbia interview-

1. walk me through your resume （中间interviewer会对感兴趣的地方提问)

2. short and long-term goals

3. why Columbia GSB

4. leadership / teamwork experience

5. how to deal with an ethical dilemma

6. something about yourself (like hobbies...)

Thanks to all the lovely CDers here.
