先说一下自己的背景:英本统计类专业,大一大二GPA不高,院校综排还可以。2019年毕业,希望靠大三的努力把GPA拉上去,争取1st class。
研究生项目主要就申了伦敦几所高校的金融数学或者量化类专业,和其他几所还可以的商学院。IC的IWM也申了,感觉和大部分大神相比自己的GPA一定是拉了后腿的,也就课外的一些业内实习还可以,所以对这个项目没有抱太大的希望,虽然内心还是很向往的。
大概一月25号收到了面试通知,自己准备了三天左右,在DDL一天交了面试。感觉CD论坛上的往年面经已经很足够了,口语部分基本上都在前几年的题目范围内。
面试一共6个题目,包括第一题是自我介绍,要拿着government-issued ID保持20s,15s准备1min作答。其余四道口语都是30s准备1min作答。楼主考到的written部分大概是在一次networking上遇见了这个项目的校友,自己会如何自我介绍以及start a conversation。口语部分题目记不太清楚了,大概类似于课外的团队合作之类的题目,专业类的问题是innovation in finance会对average investors产生影响吗。自己准备对时候基本搜集了CD上见过的大部分题目,但还是要说一句真的面试的时候时间真来不及,一分钟回答感觉很仓促,特别是写作,没写多少字就自动提交了,凉凉。
不管结果如何,面完试也算完成了自己的小心愿。攒个RP把自己的口语整理发在下面,希望能够帮到后面面试的同学。
