In @ NYU 面試分享

[maxchao]

應raist之邀與大家分享一下NYU的經驗，希望對之後要申請NYU的同學有些幫助

profile:
NTU IB with rich extra-curricular experiences
Family business 1yrs;retail banking trainee 4 yrs
GMAT: 730 TOEFL: 105 GPA: 72/100

highlights of written application:

>Essay 2: show your passion about NYU, example, my Stern-graduated ex-boss, info session, alumni name call and you can even write to the current students who hold office in the student association you're interested in, such as Asian Business Society and so forth
>Essay 3 (self-expression): 我是用chicago booth的四張slide去改的，但我認為真的是運氣好，有位學長強烈建議別用四頁slides,學校會認為你沒誠意,我認識一位朋友也是用booth的slide,沒有拿到interview invitation.

Interview @ New York:

NYU強烈建議申請人飛去紐約面試 (你也可以選擇在北京、印度之類的，名額有限，時間沒有彈性)
除了面試之外，學校會讓你自由選擇class visit的時間及課程以及安排在校學生跟你吃飯，一般人應該都會安排在面試之前
另外，雖然之前有點抗拒飛去紐約，到了紐約之後還真的喜歡上這個城市(but firstly you have to be okay with the price level in the Big Apple @@)，對於之後在做選校決定時，有很大的幫助

NYU的面試官會細讀你的application package (vs blind interview)，面試時間30分鐘
很特別的是，在一番寒暄之後，我正準備要回答面試官我application裡比較深入的問題時
他居然問我的衝浪經驗(他看了我RESUME裡的Hobby...)
之後就是很serious的問題，印象比較深刻的還有，面試官問我關於summer intern我會怎麼找...
overall, the interviewer maintained a very friendly atmosphere so that I can freely speak out and I like that.

6 days after the interview, I got the offer.

以上希望對大家有幫助:)

Special thanks to
John Chang (yeah he is the man^^)
Arthur Hsu (NYU alumni, ex-Mckinsey Associate)
Jeff Wu (current student)
Maggie Hsieh (alumni)
Steph (my ex who cheated on me "again and again" during my application :p)
