Columbia (CBS) MBA 澳洲面经 [2011-11-06]

最近一年多在澳洲工作,同时也在申请,昨天(2011.11.06 Sun)在悉尼面了CBS的一位校友,希望能够对大家有帮助

那位校友是个美国老帅哥,纽约人,刚来澳洲一年多,很健谈,聊了70分钟,以下是主要的问题:
1. Why MBA? (他说已经看过我简历了,所以就没让我做self introduction, 后来也没问why CBS,不过我借这个机会先把career goal 先说了)
2. How do you know about the MBA program from Columbia? Through formal or informal channel?
3. Anything unexpected during your campus visit?
4. What is your criteria for b-school selection? (但是没问申了哪几所学校)
5. What is your backup plan if not admitted for this year?
6. Tell me about  a project that you’re most proud of (在下是做consulting的,因此工作主要是项目制)
7. Since you’re been in consulting for relatively long time, what does it attract you?
8. Many people think that consulting only provides suggestion, but doesn’t get involved into the execution, so its function is limited, do you agree with that?
9. Why the experience in US market is useful to deal with the Chinese clients? How do you deal with them?
10. Several follow-up questions about my work
11. why did you choose your major? then why did you choose this firm?
12. Ethical dilemma
13. What is your contribution to CBS?

另外,那个ethical dilemma是个很重要的问题,似乎学校要求问这个,虽然那个校友自己也说,这题挺难为人的

主要就是这些了,他的人超nice,让我对学校印象也很好。祝各位和自己都有好运吧:-)

请教下楼上大牛经验,CBS网申时是否需要学位证那些的扫描件呢?还是只是成绩单就可以了?500K一个FILE好像很难包括全部啊。。

应该只需要成绩单吧,把图片转成PDF,文件会小很多

早上收到学校邮件,被defer了,最终结果要到明年2月1号之前才给,命苦啊……
在此期间还可以做什么吗?

昨天接到了CBS的一封邮件,说是对我的application里有些问题还想double check,于是约在刚才打了电话。是一个adcom打的,自称如果admission committee对申请材料有些疑问的话,会让一个之前没审核过我材料的人看材料然后再跟我联系,大致问的问题都跟申请有关,而没有那些行为面试的问题:

1.Why did you give up a promotion in China and choose to transfer to Australia?

2.To achieve your long term goal, why do you think you can’t start right away as a consultant?

3.If you want to join an investment banks after graduation, where do you focus, in terms of both location and companies?

4.Any backup plan if you can’t join IB?

5.How long do you want to work in IB before you want to set up your own consulting firm?

6.What kind of resources do you want to use at CBS to help you reach your goal?

7.You don’t have any related experience in finance, how do you think you can find a position in investment banks?

8.Any questions for me?

大概谈了15分钟,然后说会向admission committee汇报这次谈话的内容,之后做决定。看来还得再继续等几天了,呵呵

我觉得这取决于当时的情况吧,如果对方只是在问你对leadership怎么理解,或者你的leadership style是怎样的,那还是尽量简练的好。如果确实是需要举例子,那就需要给出比较详细的同时是相关的细节,可以借鉴那种STAR的模式来说,即situation, task, action, result,这样组织故事逻辑性比较好,关于是要说清楚困难主要在哪里,你的判断逻辑是什么,采取了什么措施,以及简述最后结果;而对于无关细节,毫不手软地删除

多谢你啦。

我想问一下,比如让你描述 leadership experience这种问题,你一般详细到什么程度。大概花多长时间呢?我担心面试的时候把面试官讲得不耐烦了
