  对于申请Master来说,面试的几率比较小,但如果申请PhD、奖学金计划或部分商学院,被邀请面试的机会将很大。当你接到要电话面试或Skype面试,就要好好准备了。

  面试的时间一般是25-40分钟左右,不同的老师问问题的方式也不一样,有的问的都是粗枝大叶的问题,有的就问的非常细节。如果给你面试的是program detector、小秘或是校友,他们主要目的是了解你的背景、兴趣、研究方向等。如果给你面试的是教授,那对于学术方面的问题要多准备。

  在面试之前,你应该了解自己的申请材料,了解自己的优势,了解面试的学校和项目。面试中的主要问题有关研究兴趣(research interest),研究背景(research background),相关经验(relevant experience),未来计划(future ambitions),个人兴趣(individual interests)等等。
