(ZT) from UNC Chinese MBA insider
这是我们对Essay题目的理解，只是希望能帮你拓宽一下思路，每个人的经历和背景都不同，没有一个定式。
1．Please describe your career progression to date, highlighting leadership and management positions and reasons for changing employers or career paths, if applicable. How will your professional experience when combined with an MBA degree allow you to achieve your short-term and long-term goals? (1200 word maximum)
这是一个和个人情况结合非常紧的题目，不好一概而论。建议描述得朴实一些，把原因、自己做的事和结果都写清楚，别乱吹。关键是要make sense，顺理成章。很多美国同学的工作背景都挺一般的。很多美国文化和中国文化不一样的地方要特别注意，一些东西中国人觉得不错，美国人可能不能理解，所以最好找一个MBA同学看看，包括对读了MBA能干什么这样的问题，读之前和读之后都不一样，每个学校也不一样。所以这个工作绝对耗费时间，但是绝对投入时间会有效果。
2. What obstacles or major challenges have you overcome to achieve your goals? How do these life experiences distinguish you from other applicants? (800 word maximum)
回顾一年多来的学习和找工作的经历，觉得学校主要通过你对这个问题的回答看你能不能应付得了这里的紧张、充满压力的生活，能不能够在学校里survive。
3. Please select two people that have worked with you as part of a team. The two people can be from two different teams. Ask each of them to provide you with an honest and detailed assessment of you as a teammate, especially of your performance in the areas mentioned above. In 1000 words or less, please share your personal reflections on the feedback you received. How will you benefit from what you have learned? How will your UNC MBA teammates benefit?
如果不来这里，你没有办法理解teamwork在这里是多么的重要。觉得可以谈一些跨文化或者在新环境里的TEAMWORK，因为这往往是我们的一个弱点，当你要一下面临这么多不同的时候。但是同时这也是一个机会去和别人区分开，因为确实很多国际学生不能应付这点。一些好的例子像和学校学生社团的合作，在体育团队里的合作，公益事业的合作等等。不要都说工作环境的合作。第一年的TEAM是学校分配的，你根本无法控制你和谁在一个TEAM，在工作中有时候你也无法控制你和谁在一个TEAM，所以也算模拟现实吧。所以怎么处理teamwork中的问题也是很重要的，建议你也讲一讲对不好合作的teammate你是怎么应对的（在学校里也有一些dysfunctional的team）。对了，要STAY POSITIVE。
4. Please tell us about any international experience you have had, either living or working abroad, and how it has impacted your global perspective. (400 word maximum)
我们的International Center曾经给国际学生发过一个关于找工作的建议讲国际学生相比美国学生的优势，觉得可以帮你在这个问题上拓宽一下思路：
- Focus on the strengths that make you a more attractive candidate than a U.S. citizen:
- Comfortable in multi-cultural work environments.
- Speak at least two languages.
- Adapt easily to new and often ambiguous situations.
- View problem-solving from a different perspective, (extremely useful in a group project environments)
- Are persistent and determined (anyone who goes through the application and visa process to attend school in the U.S. these days is definitely persistent and determined!).
5. UNC Kenan-Flagler students have chosen to concentrate in a variety of fields as undergraduate students and we welcome applications from students who have majored in non-business fields.To prepare for the quantitative dimension of the MBA Program,we strongly recommend that all enrolling students have some background in calculus, economics, statistics and financial accounting. If you haven’t studied these subjects in college or a university, please explain how you have demonstrated proficiency in these areas. If you haven’t had exposure to these subjects, please let us know your plan for preparing yourself for UNC Kenan-Flagler. (400 word maximum)
还是STAY POSITIVE，别把自己在这方面说太弱了。如果你GMAT的数学到99%就不用太担心了。还有，可以说来参加开学前的预备课程。如果你确实没有学过这些课或在工作中有这方面的经验的话，就去到附近的学校去选一门课上一下。 |
