谢谢pacer，我没有通篇看，所以疏忽了！如果我想申请第二轮，需要在什么时候申请面试呢？另外一个傻问题，不知道你是不是在线申请的，我不知道推荐信和大学的成绩单如果要邮寄，网上的相关部分还要不要填写呢？如你所说，芝加哥强调的是fundamental，那么是否可以理解为代表其超强的基础学科的实力呢？比如她的经济学十分强大，但获得诺贝尔的，有多半来自gsb。谢谢你。

Hi skypacer, how should I interpret the third essay topic,

If you could step into any celebrities shoes for a day, who would it be and why?

It asks about who and why. Do I need to answer what, i.e., what I would do in that day?

Thanks!

--Interview request deadlines can be found in the application package. Should be around early Dec. for Round 2.

--Not sure what you meant by 网上的相关部分. Just fill in all the blanks in the online application, including GPA, name of recommender, etc.

--Well, the academic strength comes not just from the Nobel laureates, but lies in the overall quality of research and teaching at the school. By "fundamental", IMHO, the school means the courses will prepare you well in basic business knowledge and analyitical skills. Of course, based on that you can choose whatever concentration you want. This educational approach, I believe, is not a lot different from other top schools.

Yes. you are supposed to be a celebrity for one day, and I guess the adcom want to learn what you will do in that day. Otherwise, the question would be meaningless with "a day".

听说有的Chicago校友面试是用中文进行的，有人能证实一下吗？

如果是这样，那说明什么呢？

我的面试是和一个中国校友，我们用英文谈了半小时比较正式的话题，又用中文随便聊了聊感想什么的。其实面试主要看三方面，最重要的是职业规划，还有FIT，以及（英文）沟通能力。

题外话，我以前在工作INTERVIEW的时候，发现有的人说中文和英文给人的感觉完全不一样的，比如英文特流利，显得很有自信的样子，一改成中文就语调怪异，而且神情不自然起来。挺有意思。

The job situation this year is much better than last year, especially in banking and consulting, which happen to be Chicago Chinese students' top choices. The official figure from our career services office is that the number of on-campus interview opportunities (all job functions) have increased by 30% something compared to the same time last year. (I must remind those who want to land "corporate jobs", i.e. non-banking or consulting jobs in large companies, that such opportunities are quite limited for international students, as these companies have shrunk their work permit quota significantly after 911. However, some high-tech and pharmaceutical companies do have open positions.)

We have around 30 Chinese (mainland background, including those with US permanent residence) in the 2nd year class. A large proportion of them have got offer from their summer employers, but most are still interviewing for full-time jobs to give themselves a wider range of choices.

As for internship opportunities this year, the companies have just begun to reach out to 1st years through formal presentations. As required by the school, they cannot contact 1st years before the mid-term exams (which was about 2 weeks ago). So far as I know, most of my classmates are busy attending all kinds of on- and off-campus recruiting activities now. --You can tell this from their daily dress code: many are seen in formal business suits everyday... However, the internship interviews won't start until next quarter (January 2005).

I must mention here that our career services office is doing a fantastic job:  They provide weekly job search and internship preparation seminars, with topics ranging from functional resume/cover letter writing, recruiter contacting, alumni liaison, mock interviews, to spoken English practice for international students. And there are as many career coaches (career service officers) and career advisors (2nd year students who volunteer to provide one-on-one informative sessions) as you would ever need, to help you individually on whatever problem you have during the job search process.

Besides, there are numerous student groups that organize interactive career events, to make your schedule full. To name a few, the Marketing Group holds weekly "Lunch and Learn" sessions for members and non-members, during which professionals (often GSB alums) give presentations on marketing in different industries and how to prepare yourselves for the function. The past Saturday Management Consulting Group invited new and mid-career consultants from major firms to conduct specific panel discussions on "Shifting Career", "A Day in the Life" and "Interview & Recruiting". And my fellow students interested in i-banking just had two days of intensive one-on-one training and evaluation conducted by 2nd years and industry insiders...and the list goes on. These events are valuable chances to know the industries and firms of your interest, before deciding on which one(s) to pursue.
