Oxford Said MBA 面经 [2011-02-23]

我是doudou

坛子上很少oxford said的面经，所以写一个上来赚RP.

先介绍自己的背景:

学历：英国帝国理工大学，土木工程本硕连读毕业
工作经历：在英国第二大的工程咨询管理公司工作两年半
GMAT: 690
GPA: 我用的是英国的算法，就是upper second class honour

比起坛子里面的牛人们，我的背景很弱。。。

我申请了三家的R2，LBS, Cambridge Judge和 oxford Said。前两家连面试都没有就拒了，said给了我面试。我是二月18号去的, 面试加open day.

面试一共20分钟左右，面试官是officer of  Alumni Network, 问了以下的问题：

1.    Why do you want to do MBA now? You work experience is below our average which is 6 years.
2.    Give me an example of teamwork (she emphasised not LEADERSHIP example)
3.    Give me an example of communication
4.    How did you get the internship in investment bank before MBA?
5.    Why oxford.


面试很短，而且面试官的人也不错。我去的时候有20多个人左右，加上我只有三个女生。神啊，保佑我拿到offer吧！

The interview is a crucial stage in the admissions process and our chance to ensure that you are a right fit for the School and the School is the right fit for you and your future career aspirations.
In collaboration with the admissions team, we’ve come up with some tips for interview success:

Preparation
* interview is your chance to expand on your application and demonstrate that your GMAT scores and essays are only the start of your qualifications. However, do review your application thoroughly to remind yourself what you wrote

1. Read the business news, particularly relating to your industry sector and be prepared to discuss trending topics in relation to your profession

1. Where possible consider something that the interviewer will not have been made aware of in relation to your career, such a promotion or a new project

1. Be prepared to demonstrate that you have been proactive in your research of the programme and have had useful interactions with the School

1. Thoroughly research the School, its culture and its values, as well as the University, its colleges and what they represent

1. If you have received notification as to who will be interviewing you, conduct some research into them

1. Research potential interview questions and prepare your responses. There are plenty of articles and forums discussing business school interviews on the Internet.

1. Be prepared to discuss why you want to do an MBA, how it will support your career aspirations, and why you want to study at Saïd Business School

The interview

1. This may sound obvious, but arrive on time and wear business attire. We’ve had candidates arrive in jeans – causal attire is not appropriate

1. Every interviewer has his/her own style, but remember this is not a job interview. Your interviewer will want to get the best out of you, so be relaxed, but professional and not overly formal

1. Don’t dominate. Your communication skills will be assessed, but that does not require you to lead the interview

1. Don’t just repeat the content of your essay and application – this is your chance to showcase your achievements and experiences. Expand on what the interviewer already knows about you

1. Raise the subject of any weaknesses in your application, such as a below average GMAT score, low GPA degree or gaps in your career. Be prepared to explain the reasoning and how you will compensate for them.

Remember the interview process is designed to allow you to demonstrate who you are and what you will bring to the MBA. We want you to be successful, so be confident and don’t let your nerves get the better of you.

Good luck!

@JYangSBS我不明白你所谓的广告是什么意思，我是一个刚国内本科毕业的土木专业学生，现在也是比较困惑工作环境，正在考虑转行金融的可能性，所以看到J姐的旅程特别想知道一些东西，来判断转行的可能性！请不要胡思乱想
