Chicago Introduction
Chicago was a surprise to me. I have no clue how I did the slides and the essay question no.2. Chicago’s daily visit starts really early (8:15a.m.). My interview was later afternoon after the visit.
The big difference I can feel here at Booth is the energy. People are more energized and active than the two campuses I visited before. The whole process is well organized and free lunch is provided to visitors. Current students are trying to ease you with jokes, but as soon as you step into the interview room, things are different.
A second year female student interviewed me.
Questions
- Why MBA? Goals? Why Chicago?
- If I give you $20, how would spend it wisely at B&N bookstore? (this is a very interesting question)?
- What are you weakness and how will you overcome them at Booth?
- What will be your contribution?
- A tough decision you made.
- A leadership experience.
Lessons
The interview is strictly 30 minutes. At other schools I interviewer with, a 30-minutes interview may be extended to 45 minutes because of the continuation of the conversation. The interviewer did not smile at all. She just kept taking notes and the whole process is just Q&A, she did not comment or follow up. I did not prepare well for the tight interview.
The other lesson is I spent quite a few minutes to iterate my reasons to pursue an MBA, which I believe is very strong. Before I got the goals and why Chicago part, she interrupted me and asked other questions. She seemed had not interests to direct me to the why Chicago part, or she was really rushing for the following questions. Anyway, squeezing so many questions into 30 minute session is not easy. She did not reply to the thank-you note. I did not feel confident about the interview result either.
先写到这里了。还有一个面试, 我的申请历程就结束。了祝大家好运！
