interview

[sch1975]

請問跟學校interview時,如果被問到:還有沒有申請其它學校時要怎麼回答?是誠實回答嗎?我怕official GMAT成績單上會有顯示其它申請的學校名稱, 這樣不就被抓包了!
請大家幫忙給意見吧~謝謝!

Honest is the best policy. 學校如果真的喜歡你，他會擔心你不去，所以你只要表現對面是學校的熱情，學校會做出決定的，不用擔心

This kind of question helps reveal the rationale behind your choice of schools. Therefore, name a list of schools that have some common traits that fit well with your career goals and strengths, so that you demonstrate that you research schools and evaluate your career realistically and systematically.

Eg. You might say, " I also apply to A, B,and C, all of which have strong reputation in finance. However, your school's flexible curiculuum can sharpen my skills from the very first day.Also, no other school emphasizes collaboration as much as you do, a trait that fits well with my strenths....."

In short, it is an opportunity for you to show you really appreciate what difference this school can make and to show your fit with it.

strongly agreed
it'll show immediately how deep your self-awareness is
as well as how fit and how competitive your are
while along with certain extent of threat to the school if it's in the same pool
sometimes the school may grant you a faster decision or even schoolship
to vie you as a competitive applicant
so it already shows whether applicants are competitive when making school choices
be careful and selective with your school list

我會這樣,你參考...
如果apply 10 家,挑其中幾家講就好
我都會挑不同種類,並先解釋對那些學校的看法,最後補上其實還是最想去 interview 的學校
好比:
如果是 MIT interview,我會說也apply LBS 因為他在歐洲,我很想去看看. 也 apply 了 Haas 因為在西岸離 silicon valley 近. 但我覺得 MIT 還是我最想要去的,因為 OOXX (亂掰一堆)
