只看该作者
Schulich, York University; Rotman, University of Toronto
DeGroote, McMaster University
在默默的奋斗了近2年后,终于跨过雅思,GMAT,MBA文书三大关卡,顺利的收到了所申请的三所大学的Offer Letter. 感觉百感交集,同时也很fullfilling。在申请和选校阶段在论坛上得到了不少有用的信息,非常感谢无私分享的CD网友们,饮水思源,所以回来反馈一下CD众网友,希望延续CD的文化,共享经验,共同进步!顺便希望大家在选校的环节能够给我一些意见,单选题
先说一下楼主自己的背景:
1. 广西大学财务管理本科毕业。实话说,西大算是211工程里面比较垫底的大学了,全国排名大概在80左右,在北美基本没什么知名度。
2. GPA 2.88 哈哈 不要问我为什么,当年根本没想到GPA这东西还有用!国内就业根本不看这个好嘛!当时也完全没有考虑过要读研。
3. 雅思总分7.5 GMAT 总分720 (从2016年开始,雅思Overall 7.5 是Schulich 和 Rotman AD那边的门槛,达不到7.5基本没戏。GMAT尽量考高分是计划用于弥补GPA的不足,但是由于楼主时间确实太赶,只刷了两次,就马上转入申请文书环节了)。
4. 5.5 年的城商行工作经验(其中1.5年银行总部财务管理经验,3年分行级部门经理经验,个人感觉我的管理经验相对加分)。
5. LZ 的性格是比较积极乐观的,也相对比较开朗,喜欢新鲜事物,热衷自我挑战,而且非常习惯 forward looking(感觉学校在文书审核的时候,也会对你个人的性格做一个评估,所以如果你硬件各方面都不错,但是拿不下offer, 那就不妨往这个方向发力)。
在申请环节,首先,我不是非常信任中介,所以我是基本属于自己DIY的,虽然也找了中介帮修改,但是主要还是自己弄(90%),中介仅仅作为一个check的程序。申请,写essay, 推荐信, 录视频,准备面试等等,通过中介了解基本信息,然后在CD上找各位过来人的经验分享,熟悉后就自行动手,最后给中介把把关。所以我的材料应该较好的体验出了我自己的个性和思考。最后,文书定稿前也找了一位英文很过硬的朋友帮修改过。所以,个人非常建议英文不错的朋友们自己DIY。如果不放心,不自信,可以自己做材料,然后让中介把关。经过CD上大家的总结,你自己弄好了之后给中介修改这个流程,远比倒过来的流程在效率和效果上要好得多。
其次,其实我出GMAT的时间相对比较晚(我Schulich 是在Round 2申请的,Rotman 是在Round 3 申请的),后来来到学校之后才了解到,申请得早对于提高通过率是非常有利的,同时也能很大程度上增加你拿奖学金的概率。我这两个学校就没拿到奖学金。
以下是我当时准备的口语题目,大家可以参考下:
Schulich
1.Tell me about yourself and your work in the recent 2 years.
2.Why MBA, Why do you want to come to Schulich?
3.The worst decision you've made. If do it again, what would you do?

5.你认为作为一名Manager,最重要的特质是什么?
6.Post MBA plan.
7.The most challenging thing you ever did.
8.What do you think you can bring to the school and the classmates?
9.是否曾有过和上司意见相悖的经历,如何解决?如果说服你的boss接受你的意见?
10.Leadership experience.
Rotman
1.Go through your CV,
2.Why Rotman, Why MBA?
3.Post MBA plan;
4.If you have any new idea of your work, how will you convince your boss to accept it?
5.What do you do in your spare time?
6.What do you learn from your experience outside your work?
7.Greatest accomplishment.
8.Describe a setback, what did you learn from it?
9.How do you make connection with others?
10.What’s your motivation?

14.Biggest accomplishment in your career?
15.How do you define success? and what is your success in Rotman?
16.Applied any other school?
17.Talk about an experience where you failed at accomplishing something and what did you learn from it?
18.Why Mba? What do you wish to get out of it?
19.What do you do or where do you go to if you want to learn about something?
20.22.a goal you set but you didn't achieve. why and what you learned from it?
21.如果我碰到一个问题,我会从哪些方面开始分析;
22.如果要向员工宣布一个坏消息,我会怎么做?
DeGroote
General 的问题跟上面两所大幅度重复,因为是最后一个面试的学院,直接裸面,整个过程还是比较流畅愉快的。这里我就把最关键的问题放上来:
MBA Co-op Admission Interview Activity B
Scenario: You are attending a consulting workshop at the Ron Joyce Centre (Burlington campus). During the
workshop you realize you would want to work at one of the firms a speaker represents. However, you
haven’t noticed this firm posting any co-op roles on the co-op job portal. Given, that you have very minimal
knowledge of the firm you still decide to approach the speaker.
Task: Following the scenario above, describe in two minutes; the skills, background/experience and qualities
you would demonstrate to her (your brand statement); including why you would be a good candidate for a
consulting role. You will be asked to present your statement at the end of your interview.
Time allocated: 20 Minutes
由于我整个备考流程只能利用下班时间和周末时间准备,所以整个战线脱得有些长。在面试准备环节,每所学校准备的时间需要一周左右才能充分准备好。Schulich 的面试大约进行了15分钟,Rotman的花了35分钟,DeGroote花了1个小时又20分钟。。。越来越长的节奏,不过我个人感觉是每一次面试后都有所成长。所以,强烈建议大家准备的时候,模拟演练一下,或者先拿自己 List 里面比较靠后的学校拿来练手。我这次的顺序就安排得不太好,最重视的Schlich 最先完成申请,然后放在第一个面。。。汗,不过还好有惊无险。最后,祝大家旗开得胜,都能拿到自己心仪的Offer,如果报了这几个学校想交流的朋友,可以加我的QQ:215526323
