标题: Offer from Ivey - 补充Ivey和Rotman的面试经验

刚刚收到Ivey的email通知。1月7日提交on-line申请,随后从中国寄出申请材料。1月24日参加class visit并interview。 后来得知从国内寄出的材料没有收到,2月7日从加拿大再次寄出一份材料,2月15日左右确认全部材料齐全,2月16日收到admission。


只申请了Ivey和McGill两个学校。McGill前几天被拒,又发信给admission要求reconsideration,目前还在等最后的结果。不过收到Ivey我也就不等了。


【补充:2月中旬McGill同意reconsideration以后,大约在4月18日收到McGill的admission。当然,我还是选择了Ivey。】


感谢CD上各位XDJM的帮助。



补充一点Ivey的面试经历。我是在class visit的时候面试的,当时申请已经交了,但学校还没有看。面试人是一年级学生,拿着resume来的。他先解释了为什么会由学生做interview,他说Ivey是完全案例教学,所以很看重学生对班级的contribution,由学生做interview就是由学生来判断他们希望跟什么人一起学习。面试问题很普通,除了问工作经历之外,问了一些情景问题,主要集中在leadership/team work方面,可以参看Ivey class visit tips一贴。我当时刚刚到加拿大,时差还没倒过来,加上好几个小时的class visit,很累了,面试的时候状态不太好。感觉是只要比较自信,说话不慌就基本上没有问题了。Ivey对工作经验和口语很看重,面试是最好的了解这两个方面的途径,所以如果有时间还是准备充分些比较好。


我还在多大做了一个interview,虽然没有申请多大。Kate Mertes做的interview,时间很短,不到30分钟。她说一般不给没有申请的人做interview,但是由于我已经到加拿大去了(我之前email告诉她我专程去加拿大考察学校的)而且一再要求面试,所以就破例给我做了。问题主要是关于resume的,没有特别的问题,可能是因为我还没有交申请的原因。我告诉她我没有申请的原因是TWE只有4.5,没有达到多大5.0的要求,Kate说她看了我的英语很好,所以5.0的规定不必那么死,鼓励我申请。我当时是想先把interview做了,如果Ivey出了问题再做Rotman的申请,现在不必了。面试的时候没有压力,发挥得比较好。顺便说一下Rotman的感觉。Rotman在Toronto市中心,很繁华。学校的楼很新,一进门大厅中间有一个数字滚动屏显示各个股市的指数和外汇牌价,很有商业气氛,跟Ivey相对传统的气氛相比有很大区别。


本来还打算去York做interview的(也是没有申请,只是想先做interview以备不时之需),但是到加拿大后跟一些中国人接触,大家都对York评价不好,所以就放弃了。(York的XDJM不要砍我啊,我只是道听途说,我自己对York不了解,也没有成见)

我在申请class visit的时候给Laurie Jonston发信要求interview,把resume给她就好了.那天有很多人interview,很多没有apply的人也interview了.不知道是不是现在人太多学校处理不过来.你可以给Laurie或者Heather发信要求一下.

我的背景:6年通信行业 技术+sales,海外市场经验, GMAT750/5.0,TOEFL630/4.5

soimfriend , thank you for your kind information.


I did request interview again. But the interview was only by invitation, right? I was confused why they don't contact any interview for me.


I did not submit my application and was still busy preparing for essays.

It is said the interview is by invitation only, but I guess class visit is an exception. Many applicants got interview even without making application. Maybe they are too busy now. Any way, you will get an interview after you submit application because Ivey claims it will interview all the applicants this year. Try contact them again. Good luck.

I'm in China currently, but I am landed immigrant.


作者: paopao    时间: 2005-2-18 14:28

soimfriend , thank you for your information. I contacted with adcom , but they insisted that I must submit my application first . So I gave up and accelerated my essays for Ivey.


BTW, could you kindly tell more information about rotman interview? I got an interview invitation.Thank you very much.

Actually I don't have much to share about Rotman interview. The whole interview is no more than 30 minutes. All questions were about my work experience, why MBA and why Rotman. Very important is that you should pay attention to Rotman's "Integrative Thinking". Every interviewee will be asked to comment on this point. It seems Rotman is very proud of it. Just search on CD and you will get a lot of useful information on Rotman interview. I benefited a lot from those posts.

soimfriend , thank you very much for your kindness.


Ivey scheduled an interview for me on Feb.21. Would you please give me some information about interview about IVEY?


Thank you very much.

恭喜soimfriend, thank you for your sharing of interview information

顺便问一下,rotman和Ivey有没有提供给国际学生(非移民)免担保的贷款?

Interview will be conducted by a student. The philosophy is that "students know whom they want to study with". So show them what you can contribute to the class. Half of my questions were about my resume, and the others are about leadership and team work. Typical questions are "how do you define leadership", "your project is due tomorrow, but one of your team members is not working hard, what would you do?", "you are a team leader. you know your project milestone can not be met, how would you communicate with your manager and your team members?". There are more information on CD. Search it.

我印象中Ivey好像有,但记不清了,你到学校的网站上看一下吧。Rotman我不记得看见过给国际学生免担保的贷款。

soimfriend, thank you very much for your kindness and patience.

You mention you discussed your resume in the interview. How did the interviewer raise the questions about your resume? just ask the detailed information about your resume?

ivey is my first interview. Sorry to raise so many questions.


作者: soimfriend    时间: 2005-2-20 13:39
The interviewer will read your resume before the interview. He/she will focus on the special points that he/she is most interested in. Try to give more information than shown in your resume and essays.

Anybody here will go to visit schooL on the 14th march?  
作者: niagarafalls    时间: 2005-2-21 11:02

恭喜 soimfriend

很久没来这里了。刚刚看到你以前给我留的消息,可惜没帮上你,见谅。

As a current MBA1 in Ivey, I do encourage people to come here for class visit. Case teaching method is different from others. Class contribution is absolutely critical to your success. Pay attention to such issues during your interview.

Welcome to Ivey!!!


作者: soimfriend    时间: 2005-2-21 11:29
Thank you any way, niagarafalls

  soimfriend,首先恭喜你被IVey录取,Mcgill到底是什么标准呀?你那么牛的背景居然被拒了?搞不明白?你是什么时候递交的申请?他们是写正式信说拒的吗?
作者: mercury    时间: 2005-2-22 15:50

Hi, soimfriend and everybody

I am going to be interviewed by Mr. Ron Slaughter, who know this guy and can give me some background information?

Can somebody give me some interview tips, such as common interview question of Ivey?

Can someone tell me the exact pronunciation of the word "Ivey"?

Thanks!


作者: soimfriend    时间: 2005-2-22 19:23

doudou,我想每个学校都有自己的标准吧,很难说。McGill总算还是同意给我reconsideration,不过他们现在在放春假,还没有答复。我是1月份递的申请。没有收到正式拒信,是我自己在Minerva上看到的。

mercury,我不认识你说的那个人,是学生吧?关于面试的情况可以参考我前面写的那些,CD上还有许多人写过关于Ivey面试的情况。我觉得最重要是有信心,并且把这种信心表现出来。还有就是要表现出你对这个学校真的很感兴趣,要对学校做一些研究。我记得面试人问了我为什么喜欢Ivey的案例教学。祝你好运!
