小編聯合了一些美國留學口試的常見題目,模仿了幾個美國留學口試發問時的場景。
Question1: Why This College?
在口試過程當中,"為何選取這所黌舍"是最多見的題目,門生必定要依據本身的情形聯合黌舍的特色來答復。在咱們做口試培訓的時刻,多半門生給咱們的謎底是:"由於排名不錯,黌舍地輿地位也不錯,以是我選取它。"固然這頗有多是究竟,但若你要申請的是頂尖黌舍,須要跟很多氣力很強的優良門生競爭,如許的謎底就顯得太一樣平常了。曾有一個異常優良的門生,同時申請了包含普林斯頓大學和耶魯大學在內的幾所前10的黌舍,終極也得到了個中一所前10的黌舍的登科和獎學金。但這個門生在普林斯頓大學口試的時刻,就答復得欠好。他們的對話是如許的:
AO: Why Princeton?
Applicant: To prepare for my dream, because Princeton cultivates leaders in science and focuses on undergraduate education. It provides much financial support for students. Students have many opportunities to get financial aid.
AO: What can you do for Princeton if admitted?
Applicant: I am talented in Physics. I can contribute my talent in the college of Physics. And I wish to become an admission interviewer like you.
這個門生在口試以前並無做好預備,乃至過分自負地以為不須要咱們的培訓,他在答復為何選取普林斯馬上給口試官的感到是異常重視獎學金,而第二個題目說想成為口試官完滿是多此一舉,由於成為口試官和他到普林斯頓進修物理是沒有接洽的。比擬之下,這個門生在耶魯大學口試的時刻,就施展得不錯了。如下是門生回想的謎底:
"First of all, based on what I learnt about Yale, there are five presidents from Yale. I think Yale is a good place which can help me develop my leadership. I have been the class monitor for more than two years … Secondly, Yale dedicates to integrating science and art. …… I believe that the education in Yale will prepare me to be a leader in a field combination of science and art."
在這個答復裏,門生對黌舍做了一點研討,從懂得耶魯造就了很多首腦人物,到黌舍致力於把科學與藝術有用聯合的教導目標,剖析本身哪些方面是相符黌舍造就人材的主旨的。Why this college這個題目的重點是要懂得被口試的門生是不是已對該大學做了很深刻地研討,門生在表示他對這個黌舍充斥熱忱,盼望懂得更多的同時,要奇妙地用恰當的事例表現出他具備哪些特色對付黌舍而言是strong match的。選取詳細的事例解釋你對黌舍供給的某個Program很感興致每每是一個不錯的選取。
Question 2: Why Your Major?
由於美國大學學制設置的特色和專業的選取的自由性,招辦職員一樣平常都很清晰地曉得,大多半高中生進入大學後,極可能會轉變專業,然則,他們仍願望經由過程這一個題目能看出這個門生是不是對本身選取的專業已有一些根本的熟悉,也願望經由過程這個題目使門生尚未進入到黌舍的時刻就已賣力思慮過專業的選取.門生在答復這個題目的時刻除可以或許說出一點對這個專業的熟悉,最佳可以或許解釋本身是如何愛好這個專業,願望經由過程在這個黌舍進修該專業得到甚麽樣的成果。假如門生在答復"Why This College?"提到了選取該校是由於該校在某專業的教導特殊凸起,那末,口試官一樣平常就會跳過"Why Your Major"這個題目了。
比若有一個申請賓夕法尼亞大數學專業的門生,她的謎底是如許的:
"Mathematics is most likely what I will major in. I have got distinction award in AMC and have received many honors for Math in national or city level competitions. I love Math because, in my view, it is the basis of business, in which field I wish to pursuit a master degree in Warton Business School. The person who led me to decide to take Math as my major is a Math Professor from Penn …… Penn provides best program in Math and I believe that it would be a dream place for a person like me, who loves Math and wish to get success in Economics."
Question 3: Whatdo you do just for Fun?
很多名校招生辦職員講,他們發明許多亞裔的學天生績都異常優良,但課外運動很少,險些沒有甚麽喜好,縱然有些運動門生加入了,也仿佛可以或許看出是為了申請大學而加入的運動大概是黌舍構造的運動,由於很多門生供給的課外運動都是異常類似,缺少本性。他們便是要經由過程這一題目,想看看門生們真實的本我。素有"妖怪練習營"之稱的麻省理工,登科率比擬低的斯坦福大學和加州理工,以精彩大學籃球隊著稱的杜克大學,不是僅僅招收高分門生,他們更重視門生的發明意識,發明才能和團隊精力。麻省理工的招生職員願望經由過程這個題目,懂得申請人"在業余的時光,不進修的時刻,你愛好做甚麽",其目標是要從中發明這個門生將會為黌舍的多姿多彩的校園生存進獻甚麽。口試的門生應當展示出本身真實的喜好,在需要的時刻可以出示一些相片大概作品。
Question 4: What are your threegreatest strengths?
實在這個題目是給你一個機遇解釋你的不同凡響。你的回準許該是盡量表現出你是有奇特思惟同時對本身有著蘇醒熟悉的人。與其余題目分歧,這個題目是絕對不該該湧現"I am not sure"這個說法的。你必需可以或許清晰而有層次地陳說兩到三個本身的特色,而且最佳可以或許給出一兩個詳細事例支撐你的說法。
好比一個得到常春藤大學登科的門生是如許答復這個題目的:"My first strength is my compassion and leadership. I have organized a volunteer group and some charity activities. …… My second strength is my creative thinking. I have participated in China Youth Creative Competition and received the first prize. And blah blah…"
末了一步也是最癥結的一步--給口試官寫感激信。經由過程感激信可讓口試官對該門生留有印象,不管是通俗的口試照樣手機口試,口試完後都要寫一封感激信給口試官,表達對口試者的感激和對成果的等待。假如門生被登科了,也要寫一封感激信去關照口試你的人,縱然他已曉得。
