If the assigned alumni are not located in your region, can you apply to change? It will take some time at least. E.g. I was in Moscow when applying, but now has relocated to Shenzhen...

It will definitely be a YES.    Ask the coordinator to change, if not satisfied, ask for change again, if still not satisfied, continue to ask for change... till you're happy. :-)

And I heard that you'll have to conduct two interviews, so in casef you are not perform strongly in one, try to use the 2nd chance!

.. just received an update from adcom. It seems to be a mistake. They are re-arranging my second interviewer. In the meanwhile my first interviewer will be on holiday soon, which means both will be changed ... funny .. I thought they would discuss with the alumni first.

Wow... I guess they asked alumni whether they are interested in conducting interviews long time ago, and they just assign someone that's close to your area and with similar background/aspiration ( in order to make a fair evaluation).

I always choose to avoid telephone interviews, since that's too hard to manager the atmosphere and steer the conversation...Face to face will be more impressive.

But I should remind you that since you are in R4, I guess it's better to finish the interviews as early as possible for adcom to make decisions... If June 8 is the decision release date, you should give them one week to make decision, 1 week to process the admission procedure, so you really should complete the interviews with in two weeks.  :-) good luck!

Hi, Sino, i will come around 6pm.

You will get it.

RickZhen

thank you stringscn, the adcom also asked me to schedule the two interviews before May 25, leaving them two weeks for decision. That will hopefully not be a big problem as Singapore is so small .

btw, any suggestions on what to wear for the interviews? One of my interviewer is a business planning & strategy manager of a MNC, is it preferrable to wear a suit? Or shirt + tie? Or even shirt only? thanks buddies ..

sinocheetah

Business casual is ok for such interview. No need to over-shine your feather.

inseadsh

Hi, Rick. I suggest you wear suit if you have the interview from Monday-Thursday. For other days, I think it should be fine if you wear biz casual.

At the end of the day, it will not hurt to show your seriousness upon the interview.
