典型的录取过程描述

FYI..

以下是一个TOP10 SCHOOL ADCOM OFFICE 的录取过程描述. 尤其提到了面试是如何WORK的. (显然这不适用于那些不面试的学校, 面试全部申请人的学校, 面试由申请人自己发起的学校以及收到申请后1或2天内就发出面试邀请的学校).

All applications to our MBA program are read by at least two -- and often as many as four -- readers.

If the first two readers agree that an application is not competitive, the review process ends.

In all other cases, an application file goes on to one of the directors for a third review. Applicants who remain in consideration after the third review are invited for an interview, which is conducted by a trained student interviewer on campus or by one of our alumni interviewers around the world.

Since applications are reviewed in random order, an interview invitation may be extended at any time between the application deadline and the response date.

Once the interview report has been received, the application is discussed at the next meeting of the admissions committee. Decisions are released on or near the scheduled response date.

Applicants who are placed on the waitlist are offered an opportunity to interview as well, if they have not done so already.

I think many applicants were given waitlist without interview.
