Emory的adcom真是奇怪

uiber

I think the address released from the website of Goizueta cannot be wrong. Will confirm with them again. As for those who have not been interviewed, I think you can mention something of the core values of Goizueta and the leadership program of the school. Also pay more attention to your leadership story. Good Luck!

我今天也面试完了，上午第一个。收到通知说在行李台等着，结果到了10：10分都没有人，后来Nancy打电话来才知道她说的行李台是前台旁，我晕。问题都是常规问题，我换过3个工作，都是很不同的行业，前两个都很短，所以Nancy问的很多。接着就是处理挑战的事例，同事的评价，未来规划等等。在未来规划上我们有不同的理解，时间太短，她没有让我做多的解释。

感觉不太好，觉得Emory为了提高排名会很喜欢招做consulting and I-banking的人，而且不喜欢更换工作，这只是我的感觉。Nancy人很好，但是面试完没有兴奋的感觉，不知还有没有戏。

unday_zhou and Dullpen，如果没有问你们常规问题，说明她对你们的职业发展的认可，如果面试表现还不错就没有问题了。

还好，已经拿到几个学校的offer了，不过emory的奖学金可是很不错的，希望还有机会。

Richard, you shouldn't made the unfavorable conclusion just based on your former w/e, I changed three jobs too and those three are of totally different sectors. I do believe that interviews play a very important part for the admission process of Emory, but on the one hand, there are also other parameters and on the other, you not necessarily screwed up your interview as you felt. Good luck man and congratulations for the offers from other schools!

One more thing, the recruiting season (I mean for interns) already began, I found the econ of US is definitely getting better since so many international classmates have already secured internship offers from big names such as JP Morgan Chase, Lehman, Bear Stern, Banc of America, SG Cowen and some other banks like Goldman, Merrill Lynch are about to extend intern offers pretty soon. So, when you are here, I think things would be even better! Again, good luck to all the dream chasers!

Thanks, uiber. are you studying in Emory or some other schools? I am still trying to get into Emory and waiting some other schools' offer. I will consult you which one should I go when I get all admissions.

Thanks for sharing good news with us, what is your internship? I am very interested in marketing, but as far as I know that it is little chance to do marketing for foreign students,right? So could you tell me what is the usual concentration of Chinese student in the US?

Thanks!

Hi Richard, I am a current student of Class06 of Goizueta Business School of Emory Univ.  Great to know your interest in Emory and good luck for the coming competing offers! I would be more than happy if I can be of more help in the coming days.

As you know, finding marketing interns is a bit harder than interns for either IB or corperate finance. But there are opportunities for Chinese students with marketing concentration. Since I am not a marketing guy, I don't know too much about interns for marekting. As far as I know, last year, interns for Chinese students with marketing concentration included Coca-cola, some NGO and some other companies. (Really sorry for my ignorance about the internships for marketing.) As for this year, since interviews for marketing positions don't commence this early, so far as I know people just handed in their resumes. DuPont just conducted its interviews today and I think surely there will be more companies on the way.

Other possible interns for marketing guys may lie in consulting firms. McKinsey, Bain, BCG, AT Kearney, Deloitte, Adjoined Consulting, Booz Allen Hamilton, etc. are all recruiting interns on campus and one of my classmates from Shanghai already got invitation from Bain, AT, Deloitte and Adjoined.

For your last question, there are currently 9 students are form Chinese Mainland, 4 of us are of marketing concentration. Generally speaking, IB and consulting firms are more open to international students. Hope this may help a little.

They sent me several letter saying that my recommendation letters and transcripts were not received. But I posted those things by USPS more than ten days ago, what should I do now?

uiber

Seems that same thing happened to some other unlucky guys too. I think you may contact the ad office and let them know the situation. If you mean UPS (as you mentioned USPS), you can track the package online and you can provide the tracking result to the ad office as evidence. Good luck!

wcai

Oh, I am sorry. USPS is not UPS, but is the plain mail way in USA. So Idid not track it. That's is the problem. They had received too manymail packages and did not even unpack many of them. I think my mailletter was unfountnatly among those. So I have to wait until theyunpack all the packages!! But the deadline is already gone, I amworried about this problem will affect my application....wuwuwu...

uiber

am i right to assume that you are in the states as you are using usps. if it is the case, i think you can just call them more often and let them know what is going on. by doing so, you can also show your sincerity. good luck.
