今天刚刚面试完，1~2 周出结果，发个贴攒攒人品。Offer 快来砸我！ 两周前收到了面邀，但是具体的面试时间上个星期才定下来，所以总体的准备时间还是很充分。在此特别感谢 CD 的各位大神的分享！

面试官是 Elisa，一个漂亮小姐姐，是 Consumer Behavior track 的学生，问题大致如下：

1. Tell me about your self
2. How did you know our program and why do you choose this program?
3. Why marketing?
4. Which track? Why?
5. Which industry, what company and which country do you want to work in?
6. Successful (achievement)
7. what's your strength?
8. What would be the biggest challenge if you are admitted?
9. What value would you bring to the class which are different from other applicants?
10. Tell me about your current job
11. Any questions for me?

本科在大明州受尽冰雪侵袭的，LZ 十分非常超级想进 USC，加上自觉自己标化很糟糕经历也不是很多，所以还是很紧张的，在面试前把项目官网翻了个遍。

下面是 LZ 觉得比较有用的准备：

1. LZ 对 Marketing Research 比较感兴趣，所以着重看了一下每个老师的研究方向和学术论文，并且读了几篇比较感兴趣的，面试时候回答 Why this program 的时候引用了一下，感觉可以体现诚意。
2. 项目网站上的 Student Perspectives 里面的内容对面试回答思路很有借鉴作用！强烈推荐！

3. LZ 在面试前搜遍 CD 的大街小巷整理了可能会问到的问题（这次问的问题完全没超纲！再次感谢CD）提前写了稿子和大纲，虽然没有背但是对梳理思路加强各个回答之间的逻辑链接很有帮助。整理的问题如下：

4. How did you know our program and why do you choose this program?2. Why marketing?

5. Which track? Why?
6. Successful (achievement) and failure experience
7. What makes you the unique candidate/ what's your strength?
8. Three words describe yourself
9. What would be the biggest challenge if you are admitted?
10. Which industry, what company and which country do you want to work in?
11. What's your routine work day look like?
12. Which internship u like the most?
13. 阐述一下你对marketing未来的看法
14. What value would you bring to the class which are different from other applicants?
15. Why did you choose xxx university?（本科转学去的学校）ps 来自一位本科有转学经历的大神
16. Any questions for us?

LZ 标化&经历：TF 104 （已过期，美本 waive 了没提交成绩），G 3.43 （T T）, GMAT 650（想死）；本科社大 + UMN，Major MKTG + Minor BA；四段工作经历，三段 MKTG 相关，没有大公司：On campus Telemarketing (2 mon), 教育行业 Market Research Internship (3 mon), 音乐行业 NGO part-time Marketing Coordinator/Executive Assistant（~ 1 yr）。

LZ 真的觉得自己 BG 很垃圾。本来以为会被拒。可能申请的两个 marketing essays 写的比较好吧。

LZ以后比较想做 MKTG analytics，所以申请的是这个项目的 Analytics Track（STEM certified），其实比起 MKTG 比较想申 BA，也确实申请了其他学校的BA，但是USC怕被拒所以申了 MKTG。。。 欢迎大家一起来讨论啊。
