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......

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~
