刚刚拿到了 Ivey 2021 MBA 的录取,20,000 奖,希望面经对准备申请的小伙伴有所帮助。
个人背景: Western 本科,BMOS-Finance,加拿大创业经验 4 年 + 加拿大公司管理经验 4 年,目前是公司 VP
今年 1 月开始考虑申请 MBA,时间上比较尴尬,因为本科毕业后一直工作,没有考虑过深造,没有考过 GMAT. 仓促准备了两个月,又遇到了疫情,连续两次考试 appointment 被取消,最后被迫考的 online GMAT, 650 分。拿着这个分数硬着头皮申请了。
Timeline:
- 05.07 递申
- 05.21 skype 面试
- 05.27 收到录取
Ivey 是 5 月 14 收到的面试邀请,拖延症缠身,面试前两天才开始准备。总结了 CD 前辈的差不多 40 个问题,全部写了一遍答案,自己过了个 4-5 遍,然后老婆大人帮忙模拟了一遍就上战场了。面试官是 Robyn,非常健谈,整个一个小时的面试感觉时间过的很快。先寒暄了几句,她做了自我介绍,然后很自然的引出了问题:
- So,I've told you about myself, tell me about you.
- Why MBA,Why Ivey?
- What do you do for fun at spare time?
- Short-term and Long-term goal.
Behavior questions:
- What did you do when you have a conflict with your team members, example.
- As a leader, give me an example when you made a change of process at work.
- Failure or mistake you made during work 追问,how you handled them?
- Give me an example of when you received negative feedback, how did you handle them?
- One thing that people misunderstood about you, 追问,have you done something to change that, 继续追问,did it work, and what's your motive behind it?
- Give me an example of when you have to make a decision with limited information?
- A situation when you felt frustrated, why and how you handled the situation?
- What are the sources you consume news, what are the latest trends you've been following?
- What would be a good case study you can think of?
- Q&A.
我的感受是,常规问题一定好好准备,肯定会问跑不了。要有清晰的思路,展现出你对未来明确的规划,同时和申请时的 essay 一定要一致,面试官会很认真的读 essay 的。我认为重点是把 essay 里没能覆盖到的做一个展开。Behavior 问题是真正考验工作经验的部分,几乎每个问题都会继续追问。遇到追问不要慌,反而这是个好兆头,证明面试官对这个问题感兴趣,你有机会可以展开了聊。我准备面试的时候花了很多时间思考和整理 behavior 这块的亲身经历,一定要用 good example,千万不要跑题,答非所问就比较减分。
祝大家拿到理想的 offer!
