Kelley MBA 2010 take questions

deedeexoxo

I went to IU for undergrad. One of the most beautiful campuses you will find in the US.

I miss Kirkwood!

Kelley的R1我没赶上，只能赶R2了，中意KELLEY的P/O，想请楼主介绍下P/O的就业情况，进MANUFACTURING的多还是转进CONSULTING的多？谢谢1

I guess P/O means operation,right? Correct me if I am wrong.

In terms of job placement/expectation of 2nd Chinese students' internship, most of them are interested in marketing and finance. I remember only one interned in operation function. Here are some numbers.

Consumer/Business marketing: 1/2-3 out of 10, all have internship, however only one 1 interned in consumer marketing function since US companies usually don't recruit international students.

Corporate Finance/IB/Investment Management: 1/1/2, all have internship. IB/IM is tough to get in, but still possible. Kelley is a target school of 2nd tier IB companies such as BofA, and Whether Kelley is a fit depends on your own judgement when most 1st tier IB died.   

Operation: 1 out of 10. Many companies come to Kelley to recruit, and the Operation Academy in Kelley is hot, but only a few Chinese students choose in Operation. Don't ask me why, because I have no answer.

Consulting: Kelley is a target school of Deloitte consulting, but not in school pool of M B B. No 2nd year students pursue a consulting career, but a few 1st students do. You need to work hard to win a good position in competition.

Thanks so much for your immediate reply.My current position is in operation end and hope to intensify its knowledge in KELLY. Hope to transfer to consulting business. The provided information is so valueable.

Could you share some information about GA or scholarship with me? How many chinese students get it? Anything you know would do me a great favor.

3x AGAIN!

 To 楼上，

Kelley的面试非常常规。Why MBA? eadership / teamwork？Career goal? Weakness and strength? Kelley 的面试官非常在意 "Why Kelley?" 一定要花更多的时间来准备。不要光说Kelley ranking 高之类，this does not make great sense。Talk to more current Kelley Students and alumni will help you get a better understanding of the school.

Btw, a brief of my background: 1st year/3 yr HR experience before MBA/G,T not high/major in Management and Marketing in Kelley

Nothing special for interview. Kelley's questions are the most standard and i believe the interviewer will be very nice. so don't need to worry about that.

Some tips:
(1) go search the common interview questions and prepare that;  eg "Kelley & 面经"
(2) be yourself, sell youself. know what is your must say and so what?
(3) if you don't get the question, ask them to repeat... don't try to follow with uncertainty
(4) Show your interests to kelley and why you fit


Good Luck

My two cents are:

1 Demand more from interview. It makes sense to me:  the more a pserson demands, the more he gets finally. Aiming at both admission and fellowship.  Interview is a good opportunity to differetiate. According to my experience, high GMAT and great interview matter most to get GA or fellowship. 

2 Practice a lot and enjoy the interview.  Be comfortable to talk about everything about yourself(experience,leadership, weakness etc) in English before interview.  If you can enjoy it, I believe you will do better than most others. 

3 Take care of starting with small talk and ending with thanks. It's polite for Chinese, but it's more than that for Americans.

4 Don't forget thanks note. Tried to impress James(I guess it's him) by a specific observation in interview if you can. Otherwise, a general thanks note is ok. But don't skip it.
