美国留学面试有啥技巧(20)


I will always remember the email I received from Mary. I had worked with her for a number of years in my role as a mentor at school. She struggled through depression and getting acclimated to a new school system. She was bright but had yet to find a way to express her creativity. I helped steer her in the direction she’d expressed an interest in—film and photography. She started making little films and taking gorgeous photographs, She found a teacher who was her mentor and blossomed into a star. She’s now thinking of applying to the top film school in the US and has won some awards for her films. Here is what she said: “You are the most generous person I\u0026#39;ve ever seen.” I didn’t do all that much except talk with her as a mentor but sometimes a listening ear and a supportive set of words can change a life. Maybe changing the world isn’t quite as hard a job as it sounds. If each of us can help one person at a time perhaps we can change the world all around.
同学们最后需要准备的是Do you have any questions? 如果问不出来问题,招生官会觉得这位学生完全没有准备这次面试。但是,这个问题不能是浏览网站10秒就能找到答案的问题。一定要有点深度,并言之有物,不能太笼统。范例:
Harvard and Yale just agreed to permit the famous Computer Science course at Harvard to be taught on-line, for credit, at Yale. Nothing like this has happened between these two schools before. Do you think this will be the beginning of more sharing of top scores between these two schools? Do you think this is a good idea?
