[面试经验] interview with Cornell- Johnson school

I had my on-campus interview with Johnson school on Jan. 26, and I think I screwed up. just wanted to share my experience here:

interviewed by a 2nd year MBA student, finance background.

my background is in science and engineering.

Interviewer went through typical questions, such as tell me about yourself, why MBA, short term and long term goal, why Johnson, tell a time you lead, tell a failure/learning, accomplishment, three words to describe yourself, etc. then she let me asked her questions.

I didnt have problem answering all her questions, the problem was the way i answered them. She has very limited knowledge of engineering, and any enigneering terms such as "measurement system" will lose her totally. I didnt answer her questions in layman's language so to speak so i failed to make connection with her ( at least that was how i felt after interview).

I was disappointed that i didnt do well with this interivew, however, what's done is done. i guess i got good learning out of it after all: answer questions secifically but without geting into too much details, simple but precise. and always prepared well. hope my learning can be some help.

good luck to you all!

you got it!

I sent my thank-you note, then packed my skiing stuff and went skiing at lake tahoe. no beer though. ha!

beer after skiing!!

I applied for the regular two-year program although i am qualified for the 12-month option.
