Why should I bother to attend an early interview for an MBA?

MBA is to cultivate pragmatic, compound and applied high-level management talents who can be competent for the needs of high-level management of industrial and commercial enterprises and economic management departments, and combines theory and practice. Before 2009, many people who were interested in further study opportunities and had rich work experience and managerial skills were rejected due to their relatively weak ability to take the exam.

MBA teaches "management" in the face of actual combat, rather than "management" that focuses on research, and the cultivation of skills and thinking is more important than theoretical analysis ability, and it is difficult to examine the candidate's practical management experience and potential in the simple theoretical examination, so to make up for the defects of the success or failure of the first examination (theoretical examination), the "early approval interview" came into being.

In 2009, Antai College of Economics and Management of Shanghai Jiaotong University implemented the MBA early interview for the first time, which is a green channel for students with strong management potential but relatively poor written test ability to enter MBA colleges for further study. Since then, this model has been recognized by many business schools, so the MBA pre-body interview has begun to spread across the country, and most colleges and universities have begun to implement early interviews.

The purpose of the early interview is to screen out candidates who are more suitable for MBA education, and the whole screening and assessment content includes demeanor, language expression ability, logical analysis ability, judgment and decision-making ability, self-control ability, interpersonal skills, organization and coordination ability, adaptability, leadership ability, entrepreneurial spirit, innovation awareness, value orientation and professional ethics and other abilities.

Applying for an MBA is a process of reinventing oneself and studying both internally and externally. In addition to the learning of course knowledge, in my Boya Hui class, you can meet Taoist friends (Juan Lake on Taoism, Taoist masters), (sprinting, marathon) runners, (is a ball capital) ball friends, and even (national quintessence) Ma friends. In this learning process, we will harvest many unexpected surprises.

I have a lot of outstanding students from all walks of life in my class. They are young, hard-working, good-looking, in the group work, you can see the logical thinking, strong execution of the students, there are also not hesitate to share industry experience, share the company's internal learning materials, everyone help each other, exchange what is not. I felt that this was something I couldn't gain from studying, and I was relieved to follow the teachers of Boya Hui to prepare for the exam.

The triggers and reflections brought to me by my teachers and classmates in the classroom are exactly the goals I pursued before to break the boundaries of thinking and reshape management cognition. I think for working adults like us, the biggest problem we have to prepare for the exam is that we don't have enough learning resources and learning channels, and we will always gain a lot here.

As the assistant director of admissions at the Yale School of Management, Bruce ? Delmonico concludes, "You will learn more when you interact with people who think differently than you, when you deal with people who already think and believe that you are the same".

Now is the best time to go. I was very attracted to the concept of "lifelong learning" in Boya Hui, the wide range of students in the industry, and the unique preschool education. There is no best, only the most suitable. The information session strengthened my determination to apply for the Antai Jiaotong University examination.

After graduating from university, I worked in Jinan for three years. I was in the graduate school of the People's Bank of China, and after graduating, I joined the Social Security Council. When I joined the company, there were only a dozen people in the entire social security council.

At first, I was engaged in the design and research of the system in our council, and then I was in charge of the direct investment part. My department is responsible for ** market investment, ** secondary market, bond investment. Social security** generally entrusts external managers to carry out equity investments, and later my office directly manages a part of equity assets for indexation.

In the last few years of social security, I was mainly responsible for entrusted investment, that is, entrusting funds to ** companies, securities firms and asset management for specific operations. What really made me realize the shortcomings was in the ** study of Boya Hui.

I am very glad that I can enter Boya Hui to study, and I also welcome more outstanding people to come to Boya Hui to find their own poetry and distance, where there are excellent teachers, excellent classmates and alumni, elegant learning environment, abundant resources and strong academic atmosphere, all we need to help us realize our bigger dreams.

Depending on what colleges and universities you apply for, some colleges and universities have early interviews, generally prestigious schools have them, and some colleges and universities do not have early interviews.

In Shanghai, 12 MBA colleges and universities are in the form of early interviews, and of course, there are also colleges and universities with normal batch interviews, such as Antai MBA of Jiaotong University.

But Fudan MBA does not, only an early interview, if you miss the interview, then there is no chance.

The MBA early interview is more important for both the school and the individual, and the interview score will generally be set up in three grades, excellent, good and average, and the interview is excellent, which will also correspond to the lowest written test score line, that is, the national line. Of course, there are 34 colleges and universities with the right to draw lines independently, which is the lowest grade of school marking. For example, if you get excellent results in the interview of ECNU and Fudan in the early interview session, ECNU does not have the right to mark the line independently, and the written test can pass the national line, which was 170 42 84 last year, and Fudan is self-marked, corresponding to the C line, that is, 172 60 105, and the Fudan B line is 195 70 115, and the A line is higher 220 80 125.

From the comparison of the two colleges, as long as you can get excellent results in the interview in advance, then the written test score line is also admitted according to the lowest line, that is, the national line or excellent line, if the interview does not get excellent, the written test score line will be ranked from high to low, merit-based admission, or the school has a clear score line, and you can reach it.

It is still very important to interview in advance, get excellent results, and take about 30 points less in the written test. If you don't do well in the interview in advance, you also have the opportunity to choose other options, so that you can also give yourself another choice. So it's still important to interview in advance.

If you do not participate in the early interview, participate in the normal batch interview, the premise is that the written test needs to meet the requirements of the score line, such as the Antai MBA of Jiaotong University, with a normal batch interview, the premise is that the written test needs to reach the national line at least before you are eligible to apply for the normal batch interview, and the admission policy is to select the best according to the principle of "written test score + additional score + interview score" total score from high to low. See the following diagram for details:

The interview in advance is very important, and if you miss the interview, then if you want to have a normal batch of interview opportunities, you must first pass the written test score line. If you don't meet the requirements, you're not eligible for an interview.

What is an MBA Early Interview.

The MBA early interview, also known as the early approval interview, and the pre-interview, referred to as the interview, refers to the interview organized by the various admissions colleges and universities that MBA candidates need to participate in before the written examination of the national joint entrance examination.

MBA early interview is one of the important examination processes for business schools to recruit MBA students, before the written examination of the joint entrance examination, first participate in the school interview, after passing the interview, you can become a preparatory source of the institution, and after participating in the national management joint examination, you can obtain the admission qualification.

Advantages of early interview (1): Reduce the pressure of the first examination.

Getting a pre-admission interview in advance is equivalent to half of the school's people, which means that the school has recognized you. And the written test score line is lowered. If the written test score reaches the national line, you can be admitted.

Even the 34 colleges and universities that mark their own lines have the right to draw scores lower than the national line. In addition, many colleges and universities have prepared generous scholarships for students to interview outstanding students in advance.

You can also apply to multiple schools for interviews to give yourself more initiative. With pre-admission to more schools, students have more choices and can choose the most suitable school according to their own situation.

Advantages of early interview (2): Take the initiative.

Students in the normal batch can only choose one institution to apply for the examination, and the number of colleges and universities is fixed, and the remaining places will be allocated to the normal batch after the previous interview occupies the place, which is less than one-fifth according to the data.

The written test needs to be scored high, and the pressure of the re-examination will be smaller, of course, the re-examination also includes the content of the interview, and the "comprehensive ability part" is the key to improving the score, (simply put, the early test and the late test), combined with the written test and interview results, comprehensive ranking, and merit-based admission.

The initiative is still in your own hands, since the school has an early interview, then go and occupy a position in advance. Of course, the re-examination of the students who have passed the interview will not be so strict, and the thoughts and speeches are correct, and the answers are full.

MBA Early Interview Assessment Points.

Through the MBA early interview, it can be seen that this green channel has lowered the threshold for those with work experience or management experience to enter MBA colleges and universities compared to the long working hours, because MBA is the cultivation of comprehensive compound talents, not the selection of top students, which is the positioning direction of MBA.

For most colleges and universities with a normal interview score of more than 200 points, if you pass the early interview, then the MBA joint entrance examination only needs to pass the national line, which is relatively speaking, greatly reducing the difficulty.

To participate in the normal batch or only the normal batch of colleges, you must prepare for the written test, try your own written test score as high as possible, so as to increase your chances of passing, immediately after the test to start preparing for the interview content, the proportion of the largest proportion of the comprehensive ability part as much as possible to raise the score, so that after the written test combined with the total ranking of the interview, the hope is greater.

As we all know, the early interview is one of the more important aspects of the MBA exam process, and under normal circumstances, the result of the early interview can almost predict the final result.

Under normal circumstances, as long as you are well prepared for the written test and have passed the national line, plus the results of passing the interview in advance, the chance of being admitted is very high.

Then some students will ask: Is it true that if you fail to pass the early interview of a certain school, you must not be able to enter this school? The answer is no, it can only be said that it is more difficult!

So how to correctly view the MBA early interview?

The MBA early interview is a means for various schools to select outstanding students, and it is also a green channel for candidates who are not strong in test-taking ability but have rich work experience.

However, this does not mean that you must participate in the early interview or pass the early interview to enter this school, because the requirements of each school are different, there are some schools that even if you do not participate or do not pass, but the written test results can be taken after the national line, and you can also have the opportunity to be admitted to this school, of course, except for Qingbei people and other schools with early interview requirements, after all, good schools have high standards and strict requirements.

If you want to enter this kind of school, you still have to prepare very carefully for the interview in advance, because only if you pass will you have the opportunity to take the next step. Therefore, everyone should take a correct view of the MBA early interview, the early interview is very important, but it is not the only condition for school admission, and the national joint entrance examination must also be fully prepared

Of course, if you have higher goals or want to increase your chances of being accepted, then you need to pay extra attention to the early interview

Participating in the MBA early interview can increase the probability of candidates being admitted to the MBA, and after the early interview is successful, as long as the written test score exceeds the national line, you can be enrolled. For candidates, an MBA early interview is a good option.

1. According to the admissions policy of the MBA colleges and universities you apply for, some colleges have both early interviews and re-examinations, so you can choose to participate in the re-examination; However, some schools, such as the Shanghai Fudan MBA, require all employees to participate in early interviews.

2. The MBA early interview can actually be said to be a "green channel" for in-service candidates, and if you can get excellent (that is, pre-admission qualifications) in the early interview, then it is equivalent to half a foot has already stepped into the MBA business school. At the same time, you can also participate in the early interview of many MBA colleges and universities, and sprint to the MBA of famous schools in a targeted manner.

3. Even if you do not participate in the MBA early interview, after the written test results are announced, you still have to participate in the re-examination interview, the assessment content is basically the same as the early interview, and due to the existence of a certain re-examination ratio problem, the competition is more difficult.

So, to sum up, if your target MBA school has an early interview, then be sure to prepare well for the early interview and attend as much as possible!

At present, some schools must participate in the MBA early interview, otherwise they will not be admitted, such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Fudan University. The vast majority of colleges and universities can not participate in the early interview, but follow the normal method of first managing the written examination and then re-examination, but as mentioned above, popular colleges and universities need to be admitted to a very high written examination branch.

Therefore, it is advisable to definitely attend an early interview, which has two obvious benefits for candidates:

1. The entrance threshold for the written examination results of the joint entrance examination of popular colleges and universities has been lowered.

2. You can apply for multiple colleges and universities in advance, and candidates can choose and decide which colleges to apply for according to the results of the early interview, which also greatly reduces the risk of being eliminated in the re-examination.
