How is the MBA interview score scored?

The interview for MBA can be divided into a pre-interview before the entrance examination and a normal interview in the re-examination stage, and generally only one of the two interviews can be attended. Different institutions have different requirements and rules, so let's get a brief overview of them.

Background: Mainly academic background and work background. This is an established and has not changed much.

Interview performance score: individual interview + English interview + group interview. This part requires good preparation, if the average background of the student is an important decisive factor in whether you can turn the tables.

The pre-interview score is generally divided into three levels: excellent, good, and average.

Excellent: It generally means that your written test score only needs to be admitted to the national line.

Good: It means that your written test score generally needs to be about 20 points higher than the national line.

Average: Generally will range from 10-20 points higher than a good written test score.

The MBA pre-interview assessment includes demeanor, language skills, logical analysis skills, judgment and decision-making skills, self-control skills, interpersonal skills, organization and coordination skills, adaptability, leadership skills, entrepreneurial spirit, innovation awareness, value orientation and professional ethics.

In the MBA interview, the judging criteria of each school are different, but they are generally judged from the following aspects.

Look at the candidate's appearance, temperament, manners, and mental state.

Other (10%)

Whether they are honest and trustworthy, whether they have made outstanding contributions, and whether they are mentally healthy will also affect the judgment of the examiner.

15% educational background.

Here is a look at the graduate school, the academic performance of college students and the learning ability they show after work. Such as: professional course results, certificates with high gold content, etc. This information is usually obtained through the application materials submitted for the exam, and further questions are asked during the interview.

30% work experience.

It mainly includes the nature of the candidate's work, work performance, the position held, and the scale and level of the enterprise served. This information is also obtained through the candidate's application materials, especially the essay questions section of the material application. During the interview, the examiner will also ask questions about this.

In the essay questions on the application materials, most colleges and universities will mention the issue of "career planning". This section examines whether the candidate's ambition is clear, whether they have an achievable trajectory, and whether they are working hard ...... itIn the personal interview, the examiner will also ask questions about the candidate's questions.

Mainly in the interview, candidates are judged by whether the questions are thoughtful, whether the speech is logical, and whether they can grasp the key to the problem. Many colleges and universities will have pressure interviews, which test students' thinking and reaction skills.

In the application of materials and personal interviews, there will be questions related to this aspect. In the group interview, it is the final assessment and confirmation.

5% self-cultivation demeanor.

The candidate's dress etiquette, conversation and demeanor, fine skin and posture, temperament and demeanor, etc., are all related to the interviewer's impression of the candidate.

After talking about the above 6 MBA early interview judging criteria, how should we deal with the upcoming interview?

1. Carefully prepare application materials, personal profiles, and recommendation letters, and show your best side in front of the examiner;

2. Targeted learning of management knowledge and management ideas; care and analysis of current political hotspots;

3. Deliberately carry out body and language training in daily life, and be able to express opinions clearly and appropriately and debate.

If you're aiming for an MBA from a prestigious school, this is a must-think.

The admission quota of MBA of prestigious schools is basically for candidates who are mentioned. For example, if college A enrolls 400 students, it is estimated that 500 "national line admission" places will be put into the interview, considering that some candidates cannot pass the national line, then there will be 410-420 students admitted in the end, which we generally call "full delivery".

Such institutions, they will not open a re-examination, that is to say, if you do not participate in the interview, you will not even be eligible to apply for the examination.

Typical examples such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University, in 2021, Beijing Normal University also joined such an admission process.

In addition, there are some colleges and universities that will have normal batch interviews, but they are often filled in! For example, if a college enrolls 600 people, and 800 people are given the "pass" given by the face, 100 of them give up the exam (such as applying for a better college or having something at home this year to fight again next year), and the remaining 700 candidates and 500 people pass the national line, then 100 places will be vacated for the retest. At this time, it is the opportunity for high-scoring candidates, commonly known as "picking up leaks", and the competitive pressure in this can be imagined.

Of course, there are also some institutions that will put the main places in the re-examination. However, the reason why such institutions do this is because the interview is not intense, in this case, we often recommend that we give priority to applying to a better prestigious school to be interviewed, and then consider such institutions when the results are not satisfactory.

The MBA exam is divided into two parts: a written test and an interview.

The interview examination is organized by each university itself, and the content and form of the examination include the personal comprehensive quality interview, referred to as "face"; Leaderless group interview, referred to as "group interview"; Interview in spoken English. After obtaining the C line in the interview, the written test score can be admitted as long as the score passes the national line.

The written part is a national joint examination at the end of December every year. JAE Examination Subjects: Included:"Comprehensive ability of management joint examination"(including math, logic, writing) and"English II"Two subjects with a total score of 300 points.

In terms of exam difficulty:

1.Interview: With the increase in the number of MBA applicants, the difficulty of MBA early interview has gradually increased, and the pass rate of MBA interviews in prestigious universities such as Jiaotong University and Fudan University is about 30%.

2.Written test: The difficulty of the MBA mathematics test is about the same as that of the middle and high school entrance examination, but the number of questions is larger, and the student's ability to solve problems quickly is examined.

The MBA Logic exam tests the understanding, analysis, reasoning, and argumentation of various information, as well as the speed of solving problems and the strategy of solving problems, rather than the difficulty of solving problems as long as you master certain problem-solving skills.

MBA writing is divided into argument validity analysis and argument essays. The main assessment is the candidate's logical thinking ability. This kind of writing style, as long as you are proficient in certain writing skills, plus some case accumulation, you can score effectively.

The MBA English test is not very difficult, and it is equivalent to CET-4, and the main purpose is to test the candidate's ability to use English comprehensively.

This difficulty is still very difficult for MBA candidates who have not taken an exam for a long time and need to balance work, family and study, to get a good score. It is recommended to choose an MBA pre-exam tutoring class to improve the review efficiency and admission success rate.

Each school attaches great importance to different directions. I am in Guangzhou, and I interviewed Northwest University, Xiamen University, Guangzhou Foreign Languages, School of Management of Sun Yat-sen University, and Lingnan College of Sun Yat-sen University when I met last year

1. Northwest University: 3 teachers, a round of interviews, self-introduction + questions, basically around the resume to ask questions, not too bad to pass.

2. Xiamen University: 2 rounds of interviews, one-sided + group interview, one-sided is mainly English self-introduction + understanding and political consciousness of the industry direction; A group of people will discuss and summarize according to a topic, and there will be 3-5 teachers around to observe, and the main assessment is leadership, communication and expression, logic, etc.

3. Guangwai: 2 rounds of group noodles, one round of English and one round of Chinese:

English is to give an article, everyone to express their opinions, know the important test of English reading and expression skills, the most important thing is to express bravely, if you don't understand what other group members say, just read according to the topic.

Chinese is to give a more controversial topic to discuss, at that time was given a desert island survival, many roles, only one chance to go out, to choose, I was more impressed that our group was measuring the value, and finally chose the person with the highest survival rate to go out, and then the principal said a little disappointed, I feel that business schools should also consider ethics, this I am particularly impressed, there was a girl during the group discussion The logic is very messy, the expression is very poor, but she considers the problem of pregnant women, In the end, she got the highest score, but when I thought back to the principal's speech, I still recognized it.

4. CUHK Management Institute: 5 teachers v2 students + group face.

5v2: English topic self-introduction + teacher questions, the teacher asked very sharply, I remember that the topic I drew was a book I read recently, and the teacher was also detailed to the author.

Group Meeting: Draw a business case, discuss the views and issues in the business case in a group, and finally speak by the representative. What impressed me more was that many people in our group were actually very good, but the people who spoke later were very positive and stood up, but the summary was very bad, and there was a disagreement in our group, about the substitution.

After the group speech, the teacher will ask questions in a targeted manner, and the members (will have).

I was good in this interview, and the others were excellent, so I was very impressed. Therefore, the players still need to communicate well before they go on the field, and the person who spoke on behalf of the player got a very low score, but it also affected the quality of our entire group.

5. CUHK-Lingyuan: 5v1 single-sided.

CUHK does not assess English, so many people like this, especially middle-aged people. The interviewers are all teachers or some alumni, and they mainly ask questions based on the industry, company, etc. described in the resume. The interviewer is still more professional and will ask questions from many industries.

There is no skill in this, it just depends on your comprehensive expression, industry knowledge, and field expertise.

The MBA pre-interview includes appearance, language skills, logical analysis skills, judgment and decision-making skills, self-control skills, interpersonal skills, organization and coordination skills, adaptability, leadership skills, entrepreneurial spirit, innovation awareness, as well as professional orientation and professional ethics.

Overall, it is a relatively comprehensive assessment. Through face-to-face communication, the overall purpose is to judge the management ability you are currently in, and whether you have the potential for development in the future management direction.

In the MBA interview, the judging criteria vary from school to school, but they can be broadly divided into the following parts:

Education 30%.

Such as graduation school, university grades, etc. Mainly based on the application materials submitted.

Professional experience (30%)

Such as job position, salary, performance, enterprise scale, industry level, etc. Mainly based on the application materials submitted.

Ambition (10%)

See whether you have a clear ambition, a strong sense of responsibility, a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and some examples of specific management.

Thinking logic and response (20%)

See whether the problem is considered comprehensively, whether the key points of the problem can be grasped, whether the analysis of the problem is logical, whether the consciousness and response are agile, whether there is divergent thinking, whether there is a sense of innovation, etc.

Team Awareness & Communication 15%.

Examine whether you can understand others, whether you are good at discovering others' strengths, whether you are good at cooperation, and whether you are able to communicate clearly.

Cultivation (5%)

Such as appearance, temperament, demeanor, worship cultivation, mental state, etc.

Other (10%)

For example, whether it is honest and trustworthy, whether there is any special contribution, whether the psychological treatment is correct, etc.

The international trade campus of Hanzhang Education has a good class, and the teacher also told us before that the setting of the MBA personal interview varies from university to university, and the time is between 15 and 25 minutes. It is a team of interviewers composed of alumni who are in school or have graduated, professors of the school, business executives, teachers of the MBA admissions team, etc., and take the form of multiple (usually about three people) to one. It includes three links: self-introduction, interactive questioning, and management knowledge.
