研究生面试攻略

留学美国研究生面试是必不可少的一关，也是能否申请胜利的最后一关，所以留学面试，至关重要。下面我们就来为大家细致解说以下美国留学电话面试的技巧，下面是留学电话面试大家务必要准备的三大类问题，也是教授们必问的三类问题，希望大家好好准备。
　　1. 关于选校和美国读书
　　关于你为什么选择我们学校?为什么选择这个专业?你以后的职业目的?你以后的学习方案等。这类问题，是面试官经常会问的问题。面试官要晓得你学习的目的性和方案性。关于这类问题的答复，你要抓住几个要点，首先要抓住学校的特征，该专业在学校的特征，学校培育该专业的目的，分离这几点去准备这些问题。
　　2. 研究内容
　　关于大多数申请研究生的本科生来说，他们的研究内容，本专业的学问，也是面试官要考察的问题。这就是调查你的真本领了。首先你一定要把你简历里提到的研究经历和PS里写到的研究经历。由于面试官通常都会看着你的CV，PS来问你问题。你也能够事前列个大纲，列个草稿。这一步是根底。下一步就是去查面试官的背景，特别是关于理工科的学生，这一点很重要，由于常常给你面试的教授就是你申请某专业范畴里的教师，所以你要去查面试官的背景，去看面试官的研讨方向，去理解面试官发表的文章。这样能够和面试官找到共同的话题，惹起面试官的兴趣。假如找不到面试官的背景怎样办?找不到也没有关系，你要增强你申请某专业的认识深度。或许你会说，我不懂呀，时间来不及。没关系，你不用全懂，但是你要抓住一个点去弄透，弄明白。面试官不会尴尬你，不会去问你很深的问题，但是为了给面试官留下一个好印象，为了能顺利的获得学校的认可，你就一定要做好这一步。
　　3. 兴趣喜好，社会问题以及其他
　　除了上面两个问题，面试官通常还会问你的兴趣喜好，社会问题，天气，家乡景色等问题。这是面试官在调查你与人的交流才能，你的英语才能。关于这类的问题，大家能够事前做好准备，多多练习。
最后，大家在和面试官交流的时分，语速不用太快，但是发音吐字要明晰。假如没听懂对方的问题，不要不懂装懂，请面试官再讲一遍。尽可能表现的有礼貌，有问必答，而不要答非所问。假如平常口语一般，那么事前充分的准备，对对方问题的估量以及如何答复，会起到很好的效果。
