大家好! CA最近完成了一系列的MBA Adcom Directors一对一专访, 而且已开始将专访的 内容公布在我们的网站上! 我们会在这里PO每个专访的小片段（因为整个访问内容太长不 方便全部PO，请见谅！） 如想看全部专访内容请到： http://blog.clearadmit.com/category/admissions-director-qa/ 现在， 请看专访系列的下一位访问对象： Oxford Said Business School MBA Director: Stephan Chambers (SC) CA: How does your team approach the essay portion of the application specifically? What are you looking for as you read the essays? Are there common mistakes that applicants should try to avoid? One key thing they should keep in mind as they sit down to write them? SC: We are looking for people who can engage with abstraction and who write clearly. We take the essays very seriously. They are another means by which we make the assessment of who will benefit most from our program and vice versa. That being said, the only element we weight disproportionally highly is the interview. As for mistakes to avoid, things to keep in mind – it is not as simple that. There are common mistakes, certainly. To be unclear, to make assertions that are unsubstantiated – those are mistakes you should avoid. But there is really no easy rule to this. You have to have read a lot, written a lot and thought a lot. Since the interview is weighted more than other portions of the application, I will provide some words of advice for it. Make sure the things you are supposed to know about you know about. If you work in risk in a large institution, for example, you should expect to be asked to develop an argument about risk – not about leadership. Where you should be most comfortable is where you will be most tested. Stay tuned for more interview excerpts from the admissions directors of other top MBA programs!
