UIC，Microbiol&Immunol 电话面经，和大家分享~

chuxinzhe

是个中国的教授先发过来了篇相关领域的研究论文，需要我提出优缺点和未来展望，限定3天内完成。

电话面试的时候有2位教授:

一位不认识（Prof. A）

另一位就是发给我论文的那位。(Prof. B)

面试开始:

Prof. B: (balabala) we only have 15 minutes to go.....First please talk to Prof. A

Prof A: Q1 why applied to UIC?
Me: cuz UIC's student body is the most diverse in the nation......
Prof A: Then why not Harward? It is also well-known for the diversity of the student body?
Me: [faint~] I am not quite farmiliar with Harward, the only thing I know is UIC has the largest medical school in US...

Prof A: (no response) Q2 Tell me sth. about your current job in the lab.
Me: balabala

Prof A: (no response) Q3 Then how about your college life?
Me: balabala

Prof A: (no response) Q4 Why you chose to further your graduate study in US?
Me: balabala

Prof A: (no response) Q5 Well, how did you spend your spring festival?
Me: [smile] :) balabala

Prof A: Now so much for me, do you have any question?
Me: balabala

Prof B: Now is Prof. B speaking. Q1 How long did you read the paper I sent you?
Me: Less than 1 hour

Prof B: How many hours for you to finish your assignment?
Me: [sigh～]About 2 days......

Prof B: Q2 ...I see, in your article did you mention A, B and C as the major weakpoints of that paper?
Me: [busy scanning－－b]yea, (explanations) balabala

Prof B: Q3 Is it comfortable for you to tell me about the offer you have received?
Me: balabala

Prof B: Q4 Please to be honest, which position you have placed UIC in your mind? You know, there are so many brothers & sisters  waiting for their admission decision and the chances we could offer is limited.
Me: (at a loss) balabala

Prof B: Q5 Just imaging that if you have received the offer, which lab will be your first choice in our department?
Me: (without hesitation) your lab......balabala
Prof B: Do you know the tasks being handled by other faculty member?
Me: balabala

Prof B: balabala...I really want to continue our talk, but we got another interview to handle. The admission committee will hold a meeting to decide the final decision and you will be informed about it by then. Bye
Me: Bye......
(45 minutes passed by)

总结下：
我感觉学校面试的目的在于２点

１检验你的语言交流表达能力

２核实你的申请材料是否真实可信　

所以大家完全不用慌张和紧张。只需要按照自己准备的东西心态平和的表述出来就好了

而且你是否对专业上了解的多少并不特别重要，我觉得完全没必要通读faculty的所有文章，对主要兴趣教授的研究方向感兴趣就够了,有时间再大概浏览下其主要文章的abstract就好

还有介绍自己实验室课题时尽量流利　说的口若悬河　天花乱坠　一棒子把对方打晕可能效果就好了。别指望对方能听懂甚至回应你所说的，教授毕竟也是人...在那么短的时间内很难跟上你的思路

给大家推荐下　查学校背景的时候去 answers.com看看　有一些有用的东西

从一开始走上出国的路就从论坛里得到了很多　但很少分享什么。现在记下一些自己的亲身经历　希望对各位xdjm能有所帮助了　

祝我们大家的offer雨早日降临～
