I had an on campus interview with TAMU today, at 2:30 pm.

Before the interview, I participated in the "MBA Insights" program held by the admission committee of Mays. This program included a sample class, a demonstration of the Relian Energy Trading Center (a classrom that can show you the real world of stock/option trading), and a presentation on networking for professional success. Besides that, I also had lunch with a current MBA student and looked around of the Wehner building where the Mays MBA program is housed.  The whole program was from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

My interview started at 2:30. It lasted about 30 minutes. A staff interviewed me. He was very nice. He talked most of the time. I knew that he was trying to sell the school. I am very much appreciate his hard work.

I remembered that someone on CD talked about his/her unhappy experience on contacting with Mays staff last year.  For me, the situation is totally different. Mays staffs answered all my question quickly and warmly. I think that's because TAMU Mays is changing. They are improving their services and hoping more diversity in their program.

My interview questions:

1. Talk about your experience in Chinese government.
2. What do you get from our MBA program?
3. Your career goal?

I didn't prepare well for the interview. I am not satisfied with my answer. My answer was short and unclear. After a whole day's looking and listening, I felt my brain didn't work during the interview. But the interviewer seemed to understand my situation, so he took over the talk.

It was a really busy day today, but  I had a good time with them.

Wish all you guys the best of luck!
