上个星期电话面试,今天收到offer,奖学金的情况好像是3月公布,明天写信去问一下。 W&M是一所历史悠久的老牌学校,本科教育尚可,MBA没什么名气。我在MBA tour上跟他们admission的人聊过几句,他们给了我application fee waiver。电话面试我的是他们的admission director Kathy, 以下是电话面试的大致内容: K: Happy Chinese New Year! It's the 2nd day of your vacation, right? M: Yes, it seems you are familiar with Chinese culture. K: Not much, But I do like Chinese culture. So tell me something about the spring festival? What do you do for celebration? M:....... K: I know that the weather in China is quite bad recently. How is the weather now in China? Does that affect you a lot? M:...... K: I read your application package very carefully . Your background is quite interesting. Can you share with me the difference between A & B (我先后工作过的两个公司是不同行业) M: ...... K: The quanlity issue of Chinese products is a big concern recently (我估计是“毒饺后遗症”),will the quanlity control impact your 5-year plan.(我前面有提到公司的五年计划) M: ..... K: I know your long-term career goal is ...what will you do to acheive that? M:..... K: One of your recommendation mentiond that you .... in your spare time. Tell me somethings about that. M:..... K: I know you also apply other schools, if all of them give you the offer, which one do you prefer? M: .... K: Any questions? 最后她在回答我问的问题时,主动谈到了美国的次级债问题和可能会有的经济低谷期,也很坦率的说她承认这可能给国际学生带来更大的就业压力。不过她相信即使出现低谷期,也应该能在2到3年有所转机,所以08入学的MBA学生也不用过于担心,而且学校的就业中心会帮助学生……说实话,最后谈到的这个问题让我挂了电话之后又想了很久。 这是我第一次MBA面试,也是头一次电话面试,还有些不习惯。整个面试大概35分钟,Kathy人很nice,而且看得出的确认真看过申请人的资料,对中国的状况还是有一些了解的。这个学校的admission office的人都特别好,只是排名差了些。
