[面试经验] Wharton面经 2.29

今天下午的校友面试。运气实在是太好了，遇上一位特别愿意提携晚辈的老校友（岁数比较大，自己创业的）。

整个面试一个半小时，大概只有30分钟左右是在问一些standard questions.  不分顺序有：

1．    Tell me about yourself

2．    Why change jobs

3．    Why MBA, why now

4．    Why Wharton (he really want details for this question)

5．    What do you want to get out of your MBA experience

6．    Long-term, short-term goals

7．    Team work experience and style (he gave me an example of a tough team situation, ask me how would I handle it)

8．    How would you imagine your first 3 months at Wharton, what is on your top priorities

9．    How would you allocate your time spent at Wharton

10.   How many schools did you apply, why (he analyzed every school for me, then he reached the conclusion: Wharton is the best ^_^)

11.   Community services

12．Last, I updated the recent change on my job responsibilities

大概有一小时都是在聊天，他告诉了我他的背景和经验，他喜欢Wharton什莫，不喜欢什莫。还给了我很多学习和工作上的建议：在Wharton上MBA成绩不是主要的，要建立network, learn to handle team environment, work & life balance, family is important (因为我告诉他今年Lg和我一起申请，但没拿到Wharton面试，他就很认真地和我讨论如果我去Wharton，Lg应该去那所学校，我们应该保持很好的communication…), 以我的背景应该申什莫summer intern, 以后在北京应该进那一行。。。他还告诉我，面试的时候一定要be yourself, 我如果说那些准备过的答案时，他一听就知道，而且不喜欢canned answer.  再次印证了不要背答案，要自然。

最后他说：Wish you and your family the best!  Hope to see you in Beijing as a Wharton alumnus.

实在太感动了，遇上这麽热心的校友。觉得因为遇上了他，现在真地对Wharton印象太好了。觉得今天认识了这位校友，不管怎莫说这一趟都没白跑。
   

Wharton please take me!  Wish every one good luck!

还不知道结果呢。 校友也说了，Adcom 会根据面试的结果和其他所有的材料综合评定的（he siad that he does not know how much weight Adcom will put on interview comments). 

We will see what is going to happen on March 27th.  I will definitely share back ground if there is good news.  现在还是心里没底。见谅。

shit, now I really wish I did the Alumni interview.

The on-campus interivew lady I had was a cold blood killer..

没事，别担心。有些人只是表面上比较平静，说不定她对你印像挺好呢。 没有结果之前别吓唬自己。

Good luck!

Wow, if I know anything about interview, then I've to say the admission is in your pocket.

Alumni interviews could also be tricky, they'd only be nice to the right people.

Waiting for your good news~~~

托您吉言了。 其实我有的问题回答得也不太好，校友都给我指出了。他真是很nice.

Keep fingers crossed.
