申请剑桥硕士几天面试?
我大概是12.30收到的offer,2月8号面试(也是英国时间) 收到邮件的时候刚好在伦敦,就立刻报了名,很快就有工作人员联系我说是电话面试还是skype,我选择了后者,毕竟方便很多。
面试前一天我收到了面试问题,一共有十个,一天的时间应该够准备了,但是千万不要试图把所有的问题都准备到位,这样只会让你慌乱和紧张。把问题分成左右脑分别进行准备,可以列一个提纲,重点问题写下思路即可,不需要太过细致。 我是在skype上进行的面试,提前测试了一下设备,确保通话质量。
开始面试后,主考官问我对什么感兴趣,然后就从我的兴趣切入开始了第一个问题,其实只要平时好好准备过,这些问题都是可以用英文答出来的。
每个问题之间会有一些闲聊,比如我会问一些关于学校、专业的问题,当然这些都可以事先准备好。 最后一个问题往往是最难答的,也是最拉分的一个问题。这个问题是谈谈你未来的计划,这个问题的回答很重要,如果回答得好,面试官会以为你是一个有规划、有目标的人,会给你的申请加分的!所以千万不能说不知道/不清楚/随便啊这类的话。
我把自己的想法梳理了一下,分点说明,这样不会显得太过于凌乱。 这个题目虽然叫“未来计划”, but it doesn’t mean you need to talk about yourplan for the next year or two... you can make a longer plan(for example,5-10 years) and share with us.
① What will you do after you graduate from XXX university? Will you stay in this country or go back to China?
② If you choose to go back to China, what are your plans there? e.g. work, family etc.
③ No matter where you want to live, is there anything you would like to achieve before then? (e.g. visit all five continents, climb Mount Everest etc).
④ If we granted you one wish to make any of these plans a reality, what would that be? (the magic wand question!)
⑤ Why did you apply for our programme? Was there any particular reason behind it?
⑥ Now that you have made it this far, do you have any concerns at all about coming to study here?
⑦ Do you have any questions for us? (最后可加上自己好奇的问题)
