as i know, most such programes have no interview requirement; but some may ask for a phone interview. If you are interested in Business－related Master or PHD programs ,you can refere to this post: http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=14&ID=325

因为还在担心签证问题，很久没有光顾申请区了，失职。我也说一下我的申请感受吧：

Background: W/E 5 years: 2 years in a manufacturing JV, 3 years in a small JV.
G: 750
T:610
GPA：2.3
本人的申请属于硬伤一片，T不高，GPA就更低。申请时的工作职位也不是很好，才是一个project coordinator/sales assistant. 申请开始也很晚，选校非常匆忙。一共申请4所US学校，top 10 1个，top 20 1个, top 30 两个。结果：top 10 waitlist, top 30： 1 admission.

得出的教训：要尽早开始收集学校信息，尽早开始申请以争取面试机会。对于申请各部分的重要性上面有很多大牛已经说很多了。而我认为自己能够成功关键是在于重视与朋友和其他人的交流，GR第三申请小组同志们的帮助是我成功的开始。而与朋友的交流是我挖掘essay写作材料的关键。说句实话，我刚开始申请的时候对自己的确比较没信心，而整个申请过程就是我树立信心的过程，深刻的挖掘自己的优势和优点所在。个人认为US的b-school的确不只是看重high title，而是注重一个人的potential，所以大家一定不要因为自己的工作经历不够牛就失去信心，进行一下soul searching，告诉自己我就是最好的.

我认为面试是申请中最关键的环节，我想自己之所以还能在top 10的waitlist上应该是有面试的功劳，这也是我申请中获得的唯一的面试机会。所以大家要尽早申请，从而能赶上学校open interview的季节。还有另外一点是我申请结束之后最深刻的感受：我深信语言是相通的，中文写作功底好的人，英文也一定可以写出好的东西来，也可以感染阅读的人，唯一需要注意的是英文的思维方式略有不同。英文喜欢开门见山，而中文更含蓄些，所以写作的时候应该略加调整。（要注明一下，呵呵，不是我说自己的中文写作好，我是得益于BF的中文功底。）

To 飞雪:

when you did not have good work experience, How did you sale yourself , How did you let them know you are potentai,And how did you answer their questions during the interview? I am really want to share these experience with you since I don't have good experience either...

To Westwood:

I did not have good position in the application season, and only was promoted this March, when UNC's ding letter was on the way. Regarding how to sell myself, the important thing is you may not in a manager's position, but you did have some good experience in management. I digged out some experience which can show my creativity, my talent in management, my own advantages, as rational, quick learner etc. Try to find out everything that makes yourself feel proud, both from work, study, and personal life. They can judge your potential from the essays you present to them.

Interview is actually related to the essay questions, just express the answers in oral English way. Do mock interviews with others, it is better to find someone does have good management experience and can give you constructive suggestions.

You should say that you don't have good position, but not you don't have good experience, you do have and you need to find out them by yourself.

如果说一个人的GPA是2.3，最后竟然上了Top 30，那么这个人肯定准备的很充分、申请的很科学、工作经验有质量、面试表现很出色，所以才能一剑穿喉。恭喜飞雪。

有没有用专业顾问帮自己准备资料的，包括essay？这样有什么缺点啊。我工作太忙了，根本没有时间准备这些东西，我也不想这么早辞职。象我这种情况要注意哪些事情啊？

请教斑竹，飞雪及各位DX：
我刚拿到G成绩单750，T647，GPA3.2。自信也有足够潜力，与人沟通和团队合作。三年知名国企国际采购经历。老板早就想提升我，可是大家也知道国企的体制啦，还没等到机会。可是我的弱点有二：第一与你一样没有好的职位让简历引人注目；第二我本科专业是英文，会影响到我的申请吗?Actually I didn't attend any advanced math courses,although I got 50 in math of my GMAT.
Thank you in advance!!

School doesn't care about your major very much. Your W/E is much more important. Honestly lacking of Fortune 500 W/E will somewhat impact your chance at top-3 (H/S/W). However, you are very competitive in the rest of schools.
