出國留學(xué)面試問題及答案
美國留學(xué)面試是申請(qǐng)者必須要過的關(guān)卡。雖然在美國研究生申請(qǐng)的面試中問題的解答各種各樣沒有一個(gè)絕對(duì)的答案,但是在美國大學(xué)面試的回答中還是有一些規(guī)律可循的,下面就來看看小編為您整理的招生官必問10大美國留學(xué)面試問題及答案,希望大家可以從中獲取一些經(jīng)驗(yàn)和規(guī)律。
問題1: Tell me about yourself.(請(qǐng)介紹你自己。)
這個(gè)問題看似簡(jiǎn)單,其實(shí)要回答的內(nèi)容比問題本身要難的多。如何用簡(jiǎn)單的幾句話回答面試官這個(gè)問題而得到面試官的認(rèn)可就非常重要了。在回答問題的時(shí)候確實(shí)很難避免提到我很友好,我是個(gè)好學(xué)生,我是一個(gè)有責(zé)任心的人;我們需要告訴面試官我自己很優(yōu)秀,我很勤奮,但是要注意在回答的時(shí)候要讓面試官認(rèn)為你真的和其他學(xué)生不同。這個(gè)面試機(jī)會(huì)對(duì)學(xué)生來講是非常重要的,你可以在回答問題的時(shí)候表現(xiàn)出你的不同,你的熱情,你務(wù)必要告訴面試官你是怎樣的一個(gè)人。千萬不要花太多時(shí)間告訴面試官我們都能想象的到得答案(比如我很勤奮,我很有責(zé)任心),而是要告訴面試官你的熱情,你的愛好,為什么你的朋友喜歡你,為什么你會(huì)開心,為什么你會(huì)生氣;你也可以告訴面試官你是否有過深夜打著手電筒看書的經(jīng)歷,你是否曾經(jīng)嘗試過鉆木取火,并成功過。你要介紹的是真正的你,要很真誠并且很認(rèn)真的回答問題,要讓面試官感到你是在描繪一個(gè)五彩斑斕的你,而不是在畫簡(jiǎn)單的素描。
問題2:Who in your life has most influenced you? (你的一生中,對(duì)你影響最深的人是誰?)
這個(gè)問題無論是在面試還是在文書寫作中都是會(huì)遇到的。也有一些類似的問題,比如你的偶像是誰?你最喜歡的歷史或者小說人物是誰?如果你沒有認(rèn)真思考的話,這是一個(gè)非常難的問題。你需要介紹一個(gè)你所崇拜的真實(shí)的人,或者是歷史人物,或者是小說里面的主人公,重點(diǎn)是要告訴面試官你為什么崇拜他/她。在回答這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候,你不可以說你崇拜你自己,這樣會(huì)顯得你很自私,并且獨(dú)斷獨(dú)行,而美國大學(xué)希望他們的學(xué)生是有團(tuán)隊(duì)精神的;我們也不建議你說崇拜歷史上一些在政治上有卓越成就的人,比如甘地,比如林肯,因?yàn)槲覀儾徽J(rèn)為這些人會(huì)對(duì)你的日常學(xué)習(xí)生活,課外活動(dòng)以及你的人際關(guān)系有非常深刻的影響。我們更建議你所選擇的人可以是你的家庭成員之一,你的老師,你的朋友,你的教練或者是和你一起參加社區(qū)活動(dòng)的成員。
問題3:Why are you interested in our college? (為什么你對(duì)我們學(xué)校感興趣?)
這個(gè)問題也是很常見的,基本上每個(gè)學(xué)校都會(huì)問到,為什么你會(huì)選擇我們學(xué)校,為什么對(duì)我們學(xué)校感興趣。在回答這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候一定要具體,要讓面試官看到你實(shí)實(shí)在在花了很多時(shí)間了解學(xué)校。需要注意的是不能回答我希望以后能掙很多錢,我希望畢業(yè)以后能得到一份好的工作或者我的老師給我推薦的,而是要把重心放在你對(duì)學(xué)術(shù)上的興趣,你對(duì)學(xué)校的興趣,對(duì)于不同學(xué)校的對(duì)比,你更希望選擇這所學(xué)校的原因是什么,你對(duì)這所學(xué)校的歷史,文化以及特色是非常了解的,你可以提到你所感興趣的專業(yè),也可以重點(diǎn)提及所涉及到得一些實(shí)踐學(xué)習(xí),榮譽(yù)課程等等。
問題4:What can I tell you about our college? (你需要我告訴你那些方面,關(guān)于我們學(xué)校的?)
在面試的過程中,面試官也會(huì)給學(xué)生提問的機(jī)會(huì)。必須要提問題,所提的問題一定要是要經(jīng)過思考以后的,是要有針對(duì)性并且具體的問題。需要注意的是不要提以下的問題:比如申請(qǐng)截止日期是什么時(shí)候?你們學(xué)校一共提供多少專業(yè)?這些信息在學(xué)校網(wǎng)站上都是可以查詢到得,所提問題千萬不要是學(xué)校網(wǎng)站已經(jīng)有的。你可以提的問題是關(guān)于以下方面的:你們學(xué)校的畢業(yè)生認(rèn)為在學(xué)校四年學(xué)習(xí)中最有意義的事情是什么?我了解到你們學(xué)校有一門跨學(xué)科研究的專業(yè),是否可以告訴我一些更詳細(xì)的情況?
問題5:Why do you want to major in XX? (你為什么選擇這個(gè)專業(yè)?)
首先我們要明確在申請(qǐng)美國大學(xué)的時(shí)候,學(xué)生是可以不用明確要學(xué)什么專業(yè)的,這也不會(huì)影響到你的面試,因?yàn)槿绻銓?duì)好幾個(gè)專業(yè)感興趣這也是可以的。但是如果你在申請(qǐng)的時(shí)候明確了所學(xué)的專業(yè)的話,在回答這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候一定解釋清楚為什么。一定不要說我希望學(xué)這個(gè)專業(yè)是因?yàn)橄胍院髵旰芏噱X(這個(gè)在之前的問題中也提到過)。如果你確實(shí)之前沒有思考要學(xué)什么專業(yè),那么在回答的問題的時(shí)候一定要誠實(shí),你可以直接告訴面試官我不知道我要學(xué)什么專業(yè),但是需要注意的是不能回答到這里就完了,你還需要延伸這個(gè)問題,告訴面試官,雖然我不知道我要學(xué)什么專業(yè),但是我喜歡和人打交道的工作。我希望大學(xué)將會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)到得課程涉及到社會(huì)學(xué),心理學(xué),政治學(xué)等。也就是盡管你沒有確定專業(yè),但是你可以在回答這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候延伸到自己的對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)的興趣,你要讓面試官知道對(duì)于這個(gè)問題你是有認(rèn)真思考過的。如果你在申請(qǐng)的時(shí)候已經(jīng)確定了要學(xué)的專業(yè),那么在回答這個(gè)問題的時(shí)候就必須更有針對(duì)性和更具體。
問題6:What will you contribute to our campus community? (你能給我們學(xué)校帶來什么?)
這個(gè)問題在很多大學(xué)的文書寫作中也會(huì)涉及到。具體的回答是肯定的。不能簡(jiǎn)單或者空洞的說我是一個(gè)學(xué)習(xí)努力的人。學(xué)生一定要仔細(xì)思考你有什么不同,你能給學(xué)校帶來那些不同的文化,不同的思想。多樣性是回答這個(gè)問題的關(guān)鍵,學(xué)校希望看到你可以讓校園文化更多樣。你可以想想你的興趣愛好,思考一下你平時(shí)在課外喜歡做什么,你是否希望在學(xué)校開展曲棍球聯(lián)賽,你是否會(huì)帶上你的野營裝備邀請(qǐng)同學(xué)一起去露營或者郊游,這些都是不錯(cuò)的題材。面試官通過申請(qǐng)材料已經(jīng)了解了學(xué)生的成績(jī)和GPA,所以這個(gè)問題是一個(gè)很好的機(jī)會(huì)讓學(xué)生展示他的學(xué)術(shù)以外的背景。
問題7:Recommend a good book to me. (請(qǐng)推薦一本書給我。)
這個(gè)問題一方面是想看到學(xué)生是否真的閱讀過很多書籍,另一方面是想看到學(xué)生對(duì)于所推薦的書的理解,為什么這本書值得閱讀。也許面試官聽完你的回答以后,也會(huì)推薦一本好的書給到你。
問題8:Tell me about a challenge that you overcame.(請(qǐng)講訴你曾經(jīng)面臨過的挑戰(zhàn)或者困難)
這個(gè)問題,面試官是想了解學(xué)生解決問題的能力。當(dāng)你面臨挑戰(zhàn)或者困難的時(shí)候,你是怎么解決和處理的,學(xué)校希望他錄取的學(xué)生是有能力解決問題的;卮疬@個(gè)問題的關(guān)鍵在于是什么樣的挑戰(zhàn):可以是學(xué)術(shù)上的;可以是工作上的,你是否有遇到很難相處的同事或老板;可以是個(gè)人困難的,你是否曾經(jīng)失去過最愛的人;也可以是道德上的。
問題9:What do you do for fun in your free time? (你的業(yè)余生活是怎么度過的?)
如果你回答一些比較休閑的活動(dòng),那么這個(gè)答案是不夠好的。大學(xué)生活并不是意味著只有學(xué)習(xí),所以面試官是希望看到學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)之余也可以做一些有趣或者有意義的活動(dòng),比如寫作,徒步旅行,打網(wǎng)球等;卮疬@個(gè)問題一定要讓你聽起來在業(yè)務(wù)時(shí)間確實(shí)在做你感興趣的事情,你不可以說我和朋友一起出去玩,你不可以說在業(yè)余時(shí)間喜歡上網(wǎng),你不可以說喜歡參加聚會(huì),你不可以說喜歡看電視,你不可以說沒有業(yè)余時(shí)間,這些回答都是不好的。比較好的回答應(yīng)該是你能在答案中很好的展示出你在業(yè)余活動(dòng)中的熱情,比如爬山,研究烹飪,數(shù)字游戲,繪畫等等。
問題10:What do you hope to do after graduation? (畢業(yè)以后你希望做什么?)
很多學(xué)生對(duì)于畢業(yè)以后做什么是完全沒有想法的,這沒有關(guān)系,但是如果你確實(shí)不知道你以后的職業(yè)目標(biāo)是什么,你也可以提到一些可能涉及到得領(lǐng)域。
出國留學(xué)面試問題及答案
Q:What will you study in USA?
What’s your major, what aspect of your major will you study?
What will you do in USA? Are you going to study in USA?
A: I’m going to study XXX(major) in XXX University. My research program will concentrate on the relationship between architectural design and culture, environment, human behavior, psychology. That is, how architectural design can create cheerful environment and living condition for people. Also I will do some research on the advanced method and techniques for architectural design under some complicated conditions.
Q: Why do you want to study in US?
A: Because the architectural design and research in US is at the leading position in the world. Many famous architects work there. Meanwhile, the prospect of architecture design in China is very promising. I’d like to do my advanced research in architecture and get a Master’s degree in US. This will help me to achieve higher entry status when I come back to China, and is helpful for me to achieve my personal plan of development.
In 1998, we had a international design competition for the China National Grand Theater, I was assigned by XXX University as an assistant of the proprietor’s committee of the theater. Right in this competition, I found our designs, including the design by XXX, cannot compete with the foreign ones at all. We still have a long way to go, and there must be some breakthrough in our architectural design and education. The best way I think, is to learn advanced theory and method from abroad. Thus I decided to study in US.
Q: Why did you choose XXX university?
How did you know this university?
Have you any scholarship?
Why did you receive scholarship from this university?
A: (Many former student graduated from XXX had gone to this university. They said it is an excellent university with very good academic condition. I also visited its website and got some introduction materials from their graduate school. I found it is really a good university whose research program well caters to my research interests.)
As I know, the graduate program of architecture in XXX University is special. Its program is intentionally small and flexible, thus can meet the individual needs and goals of a small number of students. This is very important for me to accomplish my academic research.
I think my outstanding academic record in XXX, together with my excellent GRE and Toefl scores and other documents such as portfolio and statement of intent had impressed the admission committee. Based on these, they granted me their most prestigious graduate award -- the university graduate fellowship. With this fellowship, there’s no RA or TA duties for me, and it’s renewable for the next years. Thus I can be more concentrated on my graduate studies and research.
(I know that XXX University isn’t as famous as Yale, Upenn, but you can’t judge a university only by its ranking. Yale and Upenn also gave me scholarship, but XXX university gave me a very warm welcome. Their dean interviewed me on telephone several times. It is obvious that XXX university pays much more attention on me than Yale and Upenn do. This is very important for one who wish to achieve academic success.)
In their letters, they told me they can provide sufficient funds to assist me in research. Many former student graduated from my university went to XXX university, they said the research condition there is pretty good. They had a perfect CAD Lab. These students have already made great progress in XXX university.
Q: Why do you want to pursue a http://m.emrowgh.com
A: I do want to get higher academic achievement as possible as I can. But you know, most US universities don’t offer http://m.emrowgh.com
The master’s degree I already had is in Building Science and Technology, mainly in the building acoustic design. But currently in China, people don’t pay much attention on this field. We can only work as acoustics consultants, while the future is not good. When I made the decision 4 years ago, I didn’t realize it. And later, I found that I still interest in architectural design, and I have the potential. In China, excellent architect, or designer is in great desire, especially those who learned advanced design method from US. So I hope I can get a http://m.emrowgh.comgreat development in China.
Also as you know, there’s too many people have master’s degree in China, they don’t have as much advantage as they once had. While a US degree is different. People come back from US can get much higher status and payment.
Q:Will you come back to China?
What do you do with your work for http://m.emrowgh.comWhat’s your plan? What will you do after graduation?
Give me three reasons that you will come back to China?
A: I’ll definitely come back to China after graduation. I have my own goal, and why I choose to study abroad is to create condition for achieving my goal.
First, I would like to set up my own architectural design firm in China. Currently, I don’t have enough ability and condition. After I get master’s degree in US, I can fulfill my dream. And I can promise you, after ten years in China, you will see great buildings designed by me.
Secondly, there is news from Chinese government recently. It said during the next 15 years, China is going to build 1000 cities, thus the urban population will make up more than 50% in the total population. This is an exciting information for our architects. As you can see, this news means sufficient project for us to do in the next 20 years.
Third, China is applying for holding the 2015 Olympic Games. If China succeed in this campaign, there will be lot of gymnasiums, hotels and other facilities to be built. This is also a great opportunity for us. And I can just catch up the construction right after graduation from XXX university.
On the other hand, the future in this field is limited in US. Too many excellent architects work there, almost no place for us foreigners. You know, if you get a job in US after graduation, you can only do as a draftsman, with a salary of no more than $30,000 a year. They can never become what are called real architects, or masters. But in China the situation is totally different. Architects with master’s degrees in US can preside very large project, and has high social status and income, probably more than 100,000 RMB a year. I firmly believe that I can have a much prospective future in China as an architect.
In China, we have a famous architect named Zhang Kaiji, his son, Zhang Yonghe studied in US and stayed there for 10 years. He didn’t receive any project there and can only work as a teacher in an university. When he came back, he set up his firm and made many excellent designs in China.
Q: Can you explain why 90% China student didn’t come back?
A: The fact that 95% of Chinese students didn’t come back is not a reasonable logic that I will not come back either. Even 99% Chinese students stay in USA, I will be the other 1%. It’s necessary for me to return to China to pursue my dream and ambition, which is very difficult for a foreigner to do in USA. I agree that USA is a great country, but not every one wants to stay there, since it’s difficult to achieve my goal in USA, which include a high social position and respectable social status.
I think it’s mainly because of their major. For some major, the prospect in China isn’t promising. They want to stay in US to continue their research because the condition and equipment there are much better. But things have changed. A recent investigation showed that, with the fast development of China, 80% of the students studying abroad are intending to come back.
Actually most of the scholars who came back to China are very successful.
Q: Why do you like your major?
A: It’s a kind of field that has close relationship with art and culture. It calls for both imagination, craftsmanship, art inspiration and a deep understanding of cultures. I love such kind of work.
Q: Why are you special?
A: In fact, I myself don’t think I’m really special although others often think I am. I think it’s because I’m a kind of perfectionist. I’ve always wanted to be the best in whatever I chose to do. I always use my energy on proper time and place, never waste it. And I’m a person who likes to challenge myself. Applying for US university is also a kind of challenge. I would like to pursue my highest achievement as possible as I can.
