Hi, leobear:

I applied round 3. I havn't received my decision yet but got a regular mail from IES today. The mail said I need to send them 1.the Certificates of Bachelor's Degree and Master's Degree, 2. the copies of my visa status material. The mail also said something about the financial form, they said as below:

Please be aware that changing status within the U.S. may take at least three months. If you have not already done so, please submit a completed Certification of Finances form and provide information on dependents (if any) for which I-20s will need to be issued.......  

I have already sent them the financial form. I wondered that I should send it again.  I don't have that money for two years, will that affect the decision and the I-20 form?

Thank you.

hi,leobear你好，跟楼下来，你真是个热心的人

我前两天收到maryland说MBA申请延期截止时间为4月30日，请问确切么？奖学金还有希望么？

突然想申请了，我现在啥也没准备，只有04年考的T和G成绩，不知道还来得及吧？

资金方面，大陆学生在那边的所有花费大概是多少呢？

另外，我的推荐人不太好找，不能找正在进行时的领导，请问对于推荐人maryland有要求么？以你的意见，找怎样的推荐人比较合适？

很是仓促，问题比较多，有空请回，谢先^^

Hi,felicitous

It seems that you are already in US, right? I am not familiar with your condition. I need to check with someone have similar experience with you.

To Xiaocai,

I need check with Admission Office about financial aid vacancy. You know there is always hope, although it is really late for application and financial aid....

to felicitous, I also received such a letter. I wrote to a Smith admission officer regard it, but haven't got an answer. Once I get it, I will share with you here.  Also thank Leo for your help in advance.

The following is my interview experience posted before, share with you all here.

March 8th 在马大进行的on campus interview, 相当轻松愉快的经历，和大家分享。

一如其他CDer所言，Smith的面试不是特别tough的那种，还没面试的朋友尽管放宽心。

昨天的面试分成两个部分，

首先面试我的是一个二年级的印度同学，乍一照面，我还不禁紧张了一下，心想万一他口音太重，听不懂可咋办。实际上接下来的沟通还是相当顺畅的，问题都比较常规，career progress, career goals, why MBA, why Smith, evaluation from supervisor, contribution to other students.当中结合我的回答引申了一些具体的问题，比如innovative 体现在什么地方，公司的规模有多大等等。面试大概45分钟，整个过程都很互动，他也穿插和我介绍了Smith一些有特色的地方，比如很多实践的机会等等。

这一轮面试结束，他把我带到office of career management, 我刚开始还以为是要给我介绍一下这里情况，后来才发现，这是新增的一轮面试，说白了，就是通过office of career management的角度来考察你是不是能够很好的sell yourself. 这一部分的面试也很常规，更象是学校和面试人互相了解的过程，问题和前一轮也大同小异。

整个面试下来，最大的感觉就是Smith 的人都非常nice, 很容易沟通，至少我所接触的几个人都非常有活力，也很专业。Smith 的career center 据说是DC附近的学校里最大的，昨天刚好有一个job fair, 颇有一些知名的公司在做interview, 看来他们的工作还是挺得力的。

这里也预祝将要面试的朋友成功！
