Interview

http://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/mba/apply/process.html

Short-listed candidates are invited to an interview day at Cambridge Judge Business School. In

exceptional circumstances (for example if it is difficult for you to get a visa at short notice to visit

the UK) we are sometimes able to offer interviews in your own country or occasionally by

telephone. We do, however, strongly prefer candidates to visit us in Cambridge, as each interview

day comprises a full programme of selection and information events, including:

a group Q&A session with admissions, careers and other key staff

an individual interview with faculty members

provision of information about funding your MBA

a tour of the facilities at Cambridge Judge Business School

an opportunity to sit in on an MBA class where possible

coffee and lunch with current MBA students

If we offer you a place on the Cambridge MBA, we will ask (when you accept that place) for a

commitment fee of 10% of the course fee and for financial guarantees that you can meet the

costs of the programme.

You may need a visa in order to visit us for your interview. Please see our FAQs page for more

details, as well as for information on where to stay in Cambridge and how to find us when you

come for interview.

Test Scores

GMAT or GRE

The admissions committee takes into consideration your highest test score. The Tuck application

allows students to report up to two GMAT and/or GRE test scores. If you have scored better on

one test in the verbal section and better on the other in the quantitative section, we will consider

your highest quantitative and highest verbal scores.

TOEFL , PTE, or IELTS

Tuck accepts both the TOEFL®, IELTS, and the PTE to demonstrate English proficiency. All

nonnative English speakers must self report results (scores and percentiles, if applicable) from

either the TOEFL®, IELTS or the PTE Academic.

http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/admissions/admissions-faq

No, but they are strongly recommended. Tuck offers all applicants the opportunity to interview on

campus in Hanover. Interviews are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, so request an

interview as soon as you decide to apply. If you have not been able to interview by the deadline,

the admissions committee may invite you to interview if they feel it is necessary. Because we

cannot invite all applicants to interview, if you would like to guarantee an interview, you should

schedule an on-campus interview. Tuck does not conduct student-initiated interviews off campus.

Answer both essay questions

Essay 1

The 'Team Fuqua' spirit and community is one of the things that sets The Duke MBA experience

apart, and it is a concept that extends beyond the student body to include faculty, staff, and

administration. When a new person joins the Admissions Team, we ask that person to share with

everyone in the office a list of '25 Random Things About Yourself.' As an Admissions team, we

already know the new hire’s professional and academic background, so learning these '25

Random Things' helps us get to know someone’s personality, their background, special talents,

and more.

In this spirit, the Admissions Committee also wants to get to know you - beyond the professional

and academic achievements listed in your resume and transcript. You can share with us important

life experiences, your likes/dislikes, hobbies, achievements, fun facts, or anything that helps us

インターフェイス社内用資料・未校正25

understand what makes you who you are. Share with us your list of '25 Random Things' about

you.

Please present your response in list form, numbered 1 to 25. Some points may be only a few

words, while others may be longer. Your complete list should not exceed 2 pages, with a font size

no less than 10-point.

Essay 2

When asked by your family, friends and colleagues why you want to go to Duke, what do you tell

them? Share the reasons that are most meaningful to you.

Your response to this essay question should be no more than 2 pages in length, with a font size

no less than 10-point. Please respond fully and concisely using 1.5 line spacing.

Optional Essay Question.

If you feel there are extenuating circumstances of which the admissions committee should be

aware, please explain them here (e.g. unexplained gaps in work, choice of recommenders,

inconsistent or questionable academic performance, significant weakness in your application).

Note that you should NOT upload additional essays nor additional recommendations in this area.

The Optional Essay is intended to provide the admissions committee with insight into your

extenuating circumstances only.

Test Scores

emotional intelligence, integrity and ability to perform under pressure and work with others.

Assessment day in Lausanne

This day is an essential part of our evaluation process as it helps us to put together the best

group of 90 - those who have demonstrated the potential and desire to make a difference and

who are committed to learning from each other. It also allows you to evaluate us.

The day incorporates:

Personal interview

A member of the admissions committee will take this time to get to know you and develop a

better understanding of your career progression and key achievements.

Impromptu presentation

When you arrive, we give you a business topic on which to prepare a five minute presentation

to demonstrate, amongst other things, your communication and presentation skills.

Case study

A professor leads a mini case study with other candidates, to give you a feel for our teaching

methods and us a feel for how you contribute in this kind of setting. 

MBA class observation

If possible, you will sit in and observe our MBAs in the auditorium. This helps you to assess us

and our teaching style, just as we will be assessing you and your potential.

Lunch with MBAs

Talk to our current participants and ask them any questions you have about their experiences.

Following your assessment, the admissions committee reviews your candidacy and compares

The GMAT or GRE score is required of all applicants and must be taken before submitting your

application. Only tests taken after June 1, 2009 will be considered. We require that the official

GMAT or GRE scores be sent to us by the application deadline. We understand that sometimes it

takes 1-2 weeks for the test centers to release the scores. Therefore, it is acceptable if we receive

the scores shortly after the application deadline. The TOEFL or IELTS is not required for MBA or

LGO applicants, but we provide a space in the online application if you wish to report either of

these scores to us.

Academic requirements and the GMAT/GRE

College transcripts must verify your successful completion--"B" or better--of a university level

course in algebra or in a more advanced math, or in another discipline that requires the use of

algebra, such as microeconomics. If you have not completed a course that clearly meets this

requirement, you must complete the GMAT or GRE exam.

If you wish us to consider an alternative course as a substitute for the GMAT/GRE exam, you

must send us a copy of the course syllabus or schedule and/or a link to the course description on

the university website, if available. This should be done as soon as possible, so that you will still

インターフェイス社内用資料・未校正71

have time to take the exam if the course does not satisfy the requirement. You’ll find more

information about the application process here.

English proficiency

TOEFL or IELTS

If your native language is not English, you must demonstrate proficiency by taking either TOEFL

or IELTS. Candidates who have attended an academic program conducted in English for more

than one year are not required to take the TOEFL / IELTS.

We expect a score 100 or better on the Internet-based format or 250 or better on the paper-based

format. We expect a score 7.5 or better on the IELTS.

reached an advanced stage of consideration. Interview invitations will be sent via email.
