Ivey MBA interview 面经 (2010-11-23)

csher

面试官是Jenni，历时约45分钟，她问我答了大概35分钟。

1. go through resume
2. why this career? what are you proud of?
3. achievement
4. leadership experience. what did you do to lead a team?
5. did you have any experience that you find your strength became weakness?
6. Why MBA? why Ivey?
7. what do you think the career service of an MBA should do?
8. Career goal. What exactly you want to do after MBA? Long term goal.
9. How should I present you to the adcom team?

Immigrate then go to school, go to school then immigrate......I have seen both.

If you are not picky about the job, I think you can find one easily in Canada with an Ivey MBA. It just may not be a typical post-MBA job.

You may still need to be picky about the job because the PR application requires your job related to your education, but I guess you can pretty much relate business to any job.

Thanks a lot. In this case, which one would you recommend, Ivey or Rotman? Ivey is cheaper and shorter but Rotman has the advantage of doing internship. Besides, it seems that only 2 years master program is qualified under the new policy of the state government, which allows graduate student to apply PR upon graduation?

我觉得应该有相当一部分的人去加拿大读书的目标就是移民。
可是如果毕业找不到工作，又如何能移民呢？或者说找好的工作难，但是如果不挑，都还是能找到的？

应该是很多人要移民所以顺便读书，而不是读书为了移民吧？至少我见到的大多是这样。另外不挑工作当然是容易找工作，但是贷款怎么还？

最坏打算：
学校说平均毕业9万多，如果不挑能找到个4万的，首先可以把身分拿到，然后有机会再跳？
还有就是听说学费的30%左右可以抵税？这样说来负担也小很多
现在学校贷款利率3.5%，可以还15年

不过确实，如果这样的话似乎这么昂贵的MBA也没什么意义了。

除了目标移民的人，加拿大的mba不大可读。最好的ivey, toronto也就是美国30－40名的水平，学费贵的很，几乎无奖，毕业当地找工作难

I don't think above 50% students will have the scholarship. The job market in Canada is still very vague, not easy to find a job after graudation. Consider twice before your decision.

I'm a recent admit to Ivey and I have gained a lot from this forum during my application process. Time to give back to the community! I've just started a blog writing about my app experience with Ivey/Queens - two of the top mba programs in Canada. For those who're interested you can check it out and get a feeling of what's it like. Hopefully I'll have time to keep adding post after the school starts!
