Wharton on-campus interview (Taiwan alumni needed)

[gfar]

Hello all:
終於幾小時interview invitation deadline前收到通知了, 計畫Nov 24 or 25做on-campus interview. 在北京的session認識一個人很好的TW alum Rafa Chang, 不知道還有沒有TW的alumni在板上呢?

希望可以跟前輩們聯繫, 謝謝!

還有哪些也拿到面試嗎?

Regards,
Steven

hi there,

I got Wharton interview invitation, too.
I wonder why you choose on-campus interview rather than Alumni interview at Taiwan?
Is there any extra bonus to have an on-campus interview except for visiting campus?

you can choose hub/alum/or on-campus interview....one of them. =)

thanks i got ur msn ....

I don't know Steven's exact situation so don't take this as advice.

However, if you are a typical Taiwanese student (e.g. English is your 2nd language), I think (in my humble opinion) doing a campus interview is probably the worst option for international students.

Feel free to browse www.envisionmba.com (you will see lots of free info that is relevant to Taiwanese students)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for you advice. However, could you share more thoughts on your argument that on-campus interview is the worst option? coz of oral eng issue?

Thanks

1) On campus interviews for Wharton is usually done by 2nd yr student

2) If you draw an American student, they tend to be less forgiving of accents

3) They also tend not to understand Asia, so a lot of times they lack a context to understand you.

Just want to add, I know nothing about you so my points may be irrelevant in your situation....

I am merely talking about a general case

Totally agree with Mark.
