WUSTL Dual interview with Jamie Rapert on 15th Jan + Dual FAQ info

Maxwell_Tesla

拖延症小能手攒人品贴！感觉新一轮儿的面试又要开始了，所以还是发上来给各位筒子们参考一下吧~

面试非常非常短，差不多8分钟，网络比较顺畅但是对方还是关了视频。
可选择的timeslot时间都不怎么好，我选是北京时间晚上11：45，基本上是准时开始的。

开始的时候先让做自我介绍差不多1分钟左右，接着问了为啥选择Dual degree。
然后问了一个实习经历和一个leadership experience就结束了。。。

轮到我问问题了，我问了placement情况，她说今年数据没有出来，但是可以给我一个FAQ的文件看一下（见结尾）
但是基本上不要抱希望在美国找工作，主要还是focus on asia pacific。

筒子们不用担心这个面试没有什么技术的东西，跟video interview差不多估计就是走个过场测试一下大家的口语水平=_=

面完之后Jamie说让我sign一个FERPA agreement。电子文档打印出来签字之后再email给她就可以了。
面完之后2周收到了AD, decision deadline 是1月26号。我是二轮儿交的所以之后的筒子们不用着急~


To: Students being considered for the Olin/Singapore Management University Dual

Degree Program

From: Gary Hochberg, Olin Business School, Washington University

Subject: Frequently Asked Questions about the Olin/Singapore Management University

Dual Degree Program

Below are replies to many of the questions that students have asked about the dual

degree program between Olin Business School and Singapore Management University.

Answers to other questions will be provided as students raise new questions about the

program.

1) What is the total tuition for the Olin/SMU Dual Degree Program?

Each school will discount its own tuition by approximately 20%, so that the

total tuition charged for the two degrees will be approximately $63,500 in

US Dollars (tuition at Olin will be paid in US Dollars; tuition at SMU will be

paid in Singapore Dollars). For this tuition amount, students will receive

two masters degrees in a period of 14 months. By contrast, the three-
semester Quantitative Finance track degree at Olin will cost $65,000 in

2013-2014. Additionally, Olin will pay much of the expenses for lodging and

transportation associated with the Immersion experiences in New York and

Washington DC in the second summer of the program.

2) Are scholarships available for the Olin/SMU Dual Degree Program?

No, but as indicated above, each school will discount its tuition significantly

for dual degree program participants.

3) Will I be eligible to work in the U.S. under Optional Practical Training (OPT)

for 12 months after the completion of the second summer of the dual degree

program?

No, because you will not have been in the United States for a long enough

period of time to qualify for OPT under U.S. Government regulations.

4) Who will help me with my job search during the dual degree program?

The Career Center at Singapore Management University will provide career

counseling and placement services including a series of workshops on job

search skills and techniques. At the same time, you will have access to Olin

Business School’s extensive network of alumni throughout the Asia-Pacific

region. Therefore, students in the dual degree program will benefit from the

placement networks of both schools.

5) Will I receive one degree at the end of this program, or two?

Two, one masters degree from Olin (Master of Science in Finance) and one

from SMU (MSc. in Applied Finance) By receiving both degrees, you will

have the benefits of quality education in two countries and a broader and

deeper background in finance that you would acquire from one school alone.

6) Will students be admitted to the dual degree program by Olin, by SMU, or by

both schools?

Students will be admitted by both schools, so that both faculties will have full

confidence in the quality of students enrolling in the dual degree program.

Since you have already submitted a full application to Olin, you will not need

to submit additional application materials.

7) Where will students live during the dual degree program?

Accommodation in Washington University in St. Louis

In the summer months, Olin has access to housing in Washington University

residence halls, so that the Olin/SMU dual degree students will be able to

live on the Washington University campus. This is one of the benefits of the

dual degree program structure, because we do not have access to spaces in

the Washington University residence halls during the regular academic year.

Accommodation in Singapore Management University

Olin/SMU dual degree students are required to secure and pay for their

accommodation in Singapore. They can contact SMU’s graduate office for

assistance in housing matters. We strongly encourage students to stay

in PGPP Commonwealth Hostel near Singapore Management University

(SMU). Besides PGPP Commonwealth Hostel, there are alternate housing

options and the information will be provided before the students’ arrival in

Singapore.

8) When will the dual degree program begin?

In the first summer of the program, Summer 2013, the program will begin at

Olin Business School on approximately July 1, 2013. The second summer

of the program will begin with the Immersion courses in New York and

Washington DC on approximately June 1, 2014. The second summer

dates have not yet been finalized. The program in SMU will begin on

approximately mid-August, 2013 and run to mid-May, 2014.
