是喔 我一直以為on campus 是最能展現誠意的方法
同樣的問題 同樣的答案 會因為不同面試官而有截然不同的結果嗎
如果on campus interview沒有面試上的優勢的話 那實際去學校走一遭能有什麼好處,例如在essay上更有發揮的空間
謝謝Openman如此重要的補充 真是打破大家迷思

先謝謝各位的指點,我現在正在準備面試,各位的文章真是如及時雨！
請教一下：
我可以問面試官理想中的candidate 是什麼樣子嗎？（其實是繞彎問他我合不合適的意思）
另外,有沒有人可以分享一下博士班的面試啊？
我之前請教學術交流基金會的Amy,她說很不一樣,會請我要專攻那領域的教授來問
我很怕呢,現在有在看他們的paper,但都一知半解,一問就破功了
謝謝！

剛在Business Week MBA Forum看到一位Chicago Booth的interviewer說明有關面試程序以及一些給申請者的建議，跟大家分享：
The interview is by no means make or break. 2-3 people read your app before the interview, and a separate 1-2 people read your app after the interview. By reading your app, I mean they review your resume, your quantitative measures, your essays, and if relevant your interview report. The interview is just one additional data point in the process. For a good portion of the applicants, the interview report jibes exactly with the opinions expressed by the original readers, so the decision is easy- this applies to both the clear admits as well as the dings (in the case where you were a borderline decision to interview). For the rest, particularly where there are sharp differences between the original app opinion and the interview write up there's more work to do. In these cases the adcoms have to read between the lines of the interview report. Was the reviewer unnecessarily harsh? Are their criticisms/praises relevant? Were there unfair questions? For a particularly scathing report- did the applicant just have a bad day? Or did the interview uncover some unidentified issues that when combined with certain other parts of the application raise new questions about the applicant?
I've personally interviewed about 20 people over the past few years, and the end results have been interesting. There were a couple of people who I thought performed terribly and I gave them bad ratings, yet both of them got admitted and attended the school. I've seen a few people who absolutely killed the interview, and I wrote glowing reports that hopefully helped get them scholarships.
In the end, it's a bit of a crapshoot. The best advice I can give is to COME PREPARED. I cannot tell you how annoying it is to give an interview where the candidate doesn't know crap about the school. Don't talk about classes or clubs that don't exist, and please don't quote the marketing materials back to me. If I ask the questions WHY, you better to be able to elaborate. Also, please be ready to think on your feet and offer your opinions if asked. You'll get some non-conventional questions b/c the interviewer wants to see how you think- if you're asked an opinion then give it, don't give the answer you think the person wants to hear. I cannot stress how important it is to be yourself- when you act false it shows through.

建議不要這樣做。一般來說，面試官都被學校告知不能當場將考核成績與感覺告訴被面試者。
因此，即使你問他理想的候選人是誰，他也不會告訴你。
最後，每個理想候選人其實都差不多，不外乎
-口語與肢體表達清楚
-思考邏輯清晰
-熱忱有活力
-冷靜與臨危不亂

Behemoth \$m[1]:簡單補充一點
注意Opeman論點中的重要前提是"一般由二年級學生舉行"
假設該校on-campus interview是直接由admissions committee進行面試的話
那麼的確會是展現誠意的最好方法
而面試本身就是相當主觀的過程
因此不同面試官會對同一問題及答案有不同解讀
想針對Opeman與Behemoth在"一般由二年級學生舉行"的部分做點補充
我做Dartmouth的面試時，由於台灣校友太少，因此只能由二年級學生面試
由於二年級學生也只是個工作經驗頂多只有三到五年的人，世界觀與歷練並不是那麼多
他如果是白人，可能會無法理解為什麼你英文沒辦法說的跟他一樣好
他是被學校派來的，只想按表操課趕快搞定你去處理下一個，打一開始他就沒想深入了解你
他如果跟你產業別不同，他可能無法去判斷你在你產業的發展性
又他如果只有短短數年的經驗，他很難用比較宏觀或從至高點看下來的角度去感受你回答中的格局到甚麼程度
簡言之，
我在Tuck那次經驗後，深覺得二年級學生並無法用很客觀的角度去對你評分

I think the motivation interview is one of admission processes while in applying for an MBA programme. I have been carrying out the interviews to meet/ talk with the MBA prospects. Below are my remarks for Taiwanese prospects who are interested in MBA application:
1. Cultural background: Taiwanese applicants are more conservative compared with the other international applicants. They are less active while in contacting with the business school. The proactive communication with the school will give an impression that the applicants are very eager to enter the school and demonstrate the strong motivation to the school. This gives the school a positive sign
2. Sharing and Giving: MBA programme is designed for the application already acquired working experience prior to join the programme. The aspect that what the applicant can contribute to the school is important but is not very often mentioned in the motivation interview.
3. Be confidence on yourself: whatever the motivation interview is carried our by phone or face to face interview, the career development project is one the main subjects discussed in the interview. Sometimes if the candidates are nervous, some personal questions can be addressed such as what do you know about French, what is your favorite football team if you like to watch the football,...Nevestheless each applicant has his/her own value to the school
The junior applicant has the dynamism, energy and the enthusiasm to bring to the class. The senior applicants has global vision, solide working experience to share to the MBA programme. The most important is to be confidence on yourself and answer the question fluently and freely. There is no reason that the school turn down your application if the applicant has the profile that the school is kooking for
