Timeline:
- 1月13号提交申请,
- 1月30号收到面试邀请,
- 2月5号面试。
面试官是整个committe,但邮件里只提到了Prof. Sherae Daniel 和Prof. Yichen Qin, 老师们都特别好,很approachable,缓解了第一个面试的紧张!整个过程主要是Prof. Yichen Qin在提问,Sherae补充了一个问题。问题包括:
- Self introduction
- Why PhD?
- Why this program? follow up 问了How did you know our program?
- Any specific professors that you would like to work with?
- What do you want to gain from the program?
- Future goal? (我回答了open to both industry and academia, prefer industry。其实我内心是坚定industry的,但看到学生的placement都是academia,所以这样答了,于是埋下一个雷……)
- Introduce the research that you are most proud of
- Reserch 分三类,第一类是theoretical proof,第二类是explore or improve algorithm,第三类是data-driven和 real-world problem analysis, prefer哪一类或者对哪一类觉得comfortable?
- 又回到了future goal的问题!决定你make decision on future goal的最重要因素是什么?出现什么signal你能最终make decision?
- Imageine the job that you most dream of, can you descibe what does it look like? 这个是Sherae问的,我答的没有很具体,不过还好被另一个老师接着提问我就顺利水过去了
- Strength and weakness?
- 高中时候是art 还是 science? committee里一位女老师问的,感觉是中国人哈哈哈
- Any question for us? 我问了research怎么获取data,和company之间有没有collaboration?还问了第5年没有funding,大家都是怎么survive的哈哈哈~
整个面试大概30分钟,氛围很friendly,问题也还算比较正常,还好没有扣着我的research问。我觉得这个program的faculty挺强的,近几年新招了好多stat的老师,很多老师和PhD学生都是finance和Statistics复合背景,还是很想去这个项目的!!!这次学到一个小tip,career service的consultant建议我我写reference打印带过去,实在被问懵了可以淡定地看一眼,我带了整整4页纸,还好没用上哈哈哈!明天还有一场面试,发个面经攒人品,希望大家都面试顺利offer多多!

没有没有 我withdraw了面试 但和BA track的AP聊过
原来是这样啊,是我没有搞清楚,感觉几个面试都凉凉了
回答的时候扯了些personal reason,主要在谈大多数研究生做的Business analytics工作都structured and regulated, PhD will give more freedom to explore the development even innovation of models and algorithms
