3/29 Interview 3/30 Admited by Portland State U

由 **Steve Hsieh** » 2006-03-30 04:15

我知到諸位高手達人不會對在下有興趣的但我還是忍不住要向大家宣告我也錄取了! 雖然不是頂尖有名的學校但是還是很高興年紀不小了離職後到大陸混了兩個月,回臺灣後環島一周,第一次去阿里山, 之後跑到 Bali Island, Malysia, London, Paris...玩了半年七月補託福,九月補AT,一月考完,二月申請原本想大概希望不大準備陪榜當散財童子的

3/29 早上接到電話, two ladies admission officers:
Why MBA? why now? Why do you choose our program?
In the teamwork, how are your colleagues depend on you? how do they judge you?
How do you achieve your career goals?
Any difficulty in your work? how to solve them?
What is a successful person? in your opinion.
Any question to us?
大概 15~20 minitues. 我覺得比一般人時間短我還很擔心問她們: 妳們要結束了嗎? 她們還笑了出來
看過各位先進的經驗後實在很受用尤其是當聽不懂他們的問題或不確定實可以反問: Do you mean.....?要抓到keywords 去問當有些問題一時想不出來要: Well,... or This is a good question....去拖延戰術再趕緊想有沒有在其他學校的 essay有問過當然學校的網站內容要多看這樣才有料能問他們.

拖到剛才mail a thank you letter,進咖啡店後再進 email 看到對方已send a mail 心想大概是reject or waiting list,結果是 admission, I can't believe my eyes 還是做瞑夢但仔細看一下確定是 admission,怎麼有那麼快好奇怪! 內容是:
