The advanced nature of advance approval lies in putting the interview first.
In other words, the difference between the two lies in the time of interview assessment.
However, whether it is an early batch or a normal batch, you will eventually take a written test.
Advance approval: interview in advance from April to June 65438+1written test from October to February-retest (this retest generally only includes politics & English).
Normal approval: 65438+February written test retest (this retest includes interview+politics+English)
Applying for MBA is divided into two stages: written test and interview. Written examination refers to the postgraduate entrance examination (management joint examination) held by the state from the end of February to 10 every year. Interview is a face-to-face reply and re-evaluation between candidates and interviewers of MBA institutions.
? Classification and explanation of MBA interview
According to the different interview time, MBA interviews are divided into MBA normal batch interviews and MBA early interviews.
The normal batch interview of MBA refers to a series of exams conducted by candidates through on-site interviews after taking the MBA entrance examination and obtaining the written admission qualification of their institutions in the same year.
Compared with the routine admission process of "written test first, then re-examination", some MBA institutions adopt the policy of "interview first, then written test" and implement the policy of "interview passing+written test crossing = direct admission", which is also commonly known as "MBA promotion".
The origin of MBA early interview
The content of MBA course is "management" oriented to actual combat, rather than "management" focusing on research, so the cultivation of its skills and thinking will be far more important than theoretical analysis ability. However, it is difficult to examine candidates' actual management experience and potential by a simple theoretical examination. Many people who are interested in obtaining further education opportunities and have rich work experience and management skills are rejected because of their relatively weak test-taking ability. In 2009, Antai school of economics and management of Shanghai Jiao Tong University implemented MBA interview in advance for the first time, which opened up 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 early interview began to spread throughout the country. At present, 85% of colleges and universities in China recruit students through early interviews.
The results of MBA early interview are divided into three types: A/B/C, which correspond to average/good/excellent respectively. If the candidates get excellent results in the MBA interview of the quasi-college (commonly known as interview C line or interview result A), they can enter the school as long as the results of the MBA entrance examination pass the national line. If the interview results are not excellent, getting good grades will also give candidates some extra points.
Assessment content of MBA interview
Whether it is a normal batch interview or an early interview, the assessment content is mainly to examine the comprehensive quality of individuals, including personal background information, appearance and behavior, language and logical analysis ability, judgment and decision-making ability and self-control, leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, innovation consciousness and value orientation. The assessment forms of colleges and universities are slightly different, but the overall process of interview is not very different, mainly including the following forms:
1, personal background information review;
2. Personal comprehensive quality interview, referred to as "face";
3. No leading group interview, referred to as "group face";
4. Oral English interview.
It's time for MBA interview
The normal batch interview time of MBA is generally in March-April of the year after the results of the MBA entrance examination are announced, and the institutions will announce the specific re-examination arrangements, including the normal batch interview. (Take the candidates who took the MBA entrance exam in February 20 18+65438 as an example. The second interview time of MBA is in March-April, 20 19. )
But the MBA interview is much earlier, and the screening and rating have been completed before the MBA entrance examination. Most business schools will publish the batch of early interview and the matters needing attention in official website, which are generally divided into 4-5 batches, and the time is from April to 165438+ 10. Candidates can choose to participate in one of the batches. If you fail, you can't apply for other batches of our school, but you can only choose to participate in early interviews in other institutions. (Take the candidates who took the MBA entrance exam on 20 18 and 12 as an example. The MBA interview time in advance is 20 18 and April-1 1. )
Matters needing attention in MBA interview
Whether it is a normal batch interview or an early batch interview, MBA interview results gradually occupy more and more weight in the admission of MBA institutions. Many colleges and universities enjoy the "one-vote veto system", which has become an important factor in determining the success of candidates' admission.
At present, most MBA business schools have started MBA interviews for pre-selection on the basis of normal batch interviews. Even several business schools, such as Fudan University MBA and Tsinghua University MBA, regard MBA interview in advance as a necessary option to assess applicants. Those who fail or fail will not be able to apply for the MBA of this institution, even if their written test scores are good.
Candidates who participate in the normal batch selection need to achieve a fairly high written test score, and they are eligible to participate in the retest after exceeding the independent marking of colleges and universities. Take Sun Yat-sen University's 20 18 MB MBA program as an example, its independent marking score is 225, while the national line score is 170. Candidates who have participated in the early batch selection and have excellent interview results only need the national unified examination (written examination) 170, while those who have not participated in the interview or failed the interview will be eligible to participate in the second interview if their national unified examination (written examination) scores reach 225. Take the data of 20 18 of an MBA program in Sun Yat-sen University as an example. Due to the early batch selection, 360 people were finally admitted, while only 20 people were finally admitted through the normal batch selection. Therefore, most candidates who want to take an MBA in a prestigious school will be selected in advance by the metropolis to improve their chances of being admitted.
Different institutions have different specific processes, so candidates need to refer to official website, the target institution. According to the related information released by the MBA of Lingnan College of Sun Yat-sen University, among the 380 people admitted in 20 17, 360 people were admitted through early interview and national unified examination, while only 20 people were admitted through national unified examination and re-examination.
Finally, Bian Xiao suggested that candidates should choose an interview as early as possible, so that the written test pressure would be much less. I hope everyone can be admitted to their favorite colleges.
