[申请必看].2016美国申请面试攻略
[申请必看].2016美国申请，大部分人都会栽在面试上（请看文中解决方案）
（转自微信，感谢本文原创作者老查的分享）
随着赴美留学生人数的连年增长，留学信息的不对称导致美国大学在处理中国留学生的申请时，往往会遇到很多问题，甚至导致一些学校对中国学生产生不信任。因此，面试已经成为留学申请过程中的一个重要环节。可以说70%以上的美国名校现在都要求面试，老查最近每晚都在加班，也是因为要辅导学生们的面试。但现场面试给学校和学生带来的问题是成本过高，而且录取结果往往会受到面试官主观因素的影响，因此，在线面试越来越流行。
目前美国大学的面试按照时间可以分为以下三类：
申请前的面试
Initialview第三方面试
这种独立的第三方面试机构是近几年随着美国名校对整体审核流程，申请者材料真实性以及个人特质的持续重视而出现的一种面试类型。这类机构主要受美国学校委托，为这些院校提供视频面试来检测国际申请者的语言技巧，批判思维能力和性格特征。
InitialView的面试时长大约15分钟，以英语为母语的面试官会对参与者进行即兴、个性化地提问，面试官会对参与者的回答进行追问，从而尽量避免背诵的情况。整个面试过程会上传至InitialView自建的视频平台上，如果面试者愿意发送出去，委托方可以通过给定的链接来观看面试者的表现。
InitialView同时在中国和美国搭建了服务器来保证视频播放流畅。为了节约HR或招生官的时间，每个面试视频都有相应的问题菜单，重点的问题被加上星标，点击感兴趣的问题就可以跳转到相应的回答。
网申中的面试
Video Questions
为了用更加多样的手段第一时间来评判学生是否足够优秀，已经有不少学校把面试加入到网申环节当中，即Video Question，也可以称为预面试。这种面试很像托福考试，学生只有填写到网申面试那一步的时候才能弹出面试题。系统会先让你测试摄像头和麦克风，随后出现已经提前录好的面试题，通常学生有15秒-30秒阅读题目的时间，之后就会开始录像，学生一般需要在规定时间内回答完面试题，并上传到网申系统。这种面试随机性很大，很难准备。
Video Essay
除此之外，网申中还有一种预面试的形式是Video Essay，其实也就是你写小作文的过程将要全程被录下来。
面试者上传视频
还有一些学校直接发了链接给申请者，要求申请者将录好的面试视频进行上传。
申请后的面试
在美国，面试人员通常又分为学校专职人员和校友面试。
校友面试在欧美国家大学招生中普遍采用，由分布在与学生同一地区的校友担任面试官。他们大部分都就业于美国各行业的名企，对比学校面试官，他们更重视申请学生的社会实习经历、工作经历、人际交往圈子、对社会的贡献。和老师面试不同，校友面试更注重双向交流。
学校专职人员Skype面试
由校方通过电话，Skype等聊天方式与学生进行面试，主要由大学的录取委员会的官员或所申请专业的教授来担任面试官。除了程序性的问题，一旦听到你说到有趣的点，会追问。一般来说，商科面试以专业知识为主，理工科面试会考技术内容，有的会做题，文科类专业很多是英语水平的面试。从历年经验上来看，也就是对于你的纸面材料已经通过才会通知你面试，一定要好好把握机会。
面试中常出现的问题
1：Tell me about yourself.(请介绍你自己)
2：Why are you interested in our college? (为什么你对我们学校感兴趣?)
3：What do you want to know abot our college?(对于我们学校你想了解什么？）
4：Why do you want to major in XX?（你为什么要学XX专业？）
5：What will you contribute to our campus community? (你能给我们学校带来什么?)
6：Who in your life has most influenced you? (你的一生中，对你影响最深的人是谁?)
7：Tell me about a challenge that you overcame.(请告诉我你曾经面对过的挑战和困难)
8：What do you do
in your free time? (你的业余生存是怎么度过的?)
9：Recommend a good book to me. (请推荐一本书给我）
10：What do you hope to do after graduation? (毕业以后你想做什么?)
如何准备面试
面对美国申请的这种竞争态势，申请者应尽早进行出国留学规划，提高自己的竞争力！
（一）申请者应尽早进行出国留学规划，进行专业方面的全面准备
由于申请专业不同，侧重点也不同。商科方面，要培养国际视野，对金融或经济事件养成分析总结的习惯，还要参加与申请专业相关的实习；理工科方面，注重参加竞赛及研究项目，在打好基础的同时，找到自己未来的研究方向；熟悉某一领域的科目同时，也要扩展自己的兴趣爱好，加强专业领悟。
（二）了解自己的申请材料
通过审核申请材料，学校或者教授会在对你的材料中提到的某些方面有印象，面试时有可能围绕这些产生话题。因此，在申请之前，一定要将自己的材料以至于在材料中提到的经历记牢，切忌在面试中表现出对申请材料的犹豫或是不熟悉。
（三）切忌紧张，注重小细节
在面对面或者视频面试中，印象很重要，在面试的过程中一定要注意礼貌，注意肢体语言的运用，以及一些表情动作，不要紧张。
（四）必要的模拟面试练习
想从容面对面试，面试前的模拟练习是非常重要的，它可以帮助学生检查选取的事例是否恰当以及回答问题的逻辑是否正确清晰。而且持续的多次练习可以缓解紧张，增强面试者的自信心。老查最近这段时间一直在做的就是给我的学生们进行模拟面试。
美国面试过程是学校对于申请者的生动的了解过程，也是学生通过面试了解学校的一个过程。同学们在面试的过程中切忌说大话，空话，套话。真正体现出真实的自己！如果能让你的表现不是那么干巴巴的，而是给人一些亮点或者惊喜，应该会有更好的效果。

美国名校本科申请过程中，面试究竟发挥着怎样的作用？
&现在美国本科申请，学校要求面试，对很多学生和家长来说，并不是一个陌生的话题。除了公立大学之外（有的公立大学这两年也在挑着学生要求面试），基本是美国US NEWS排名在前50的学校，都会国际学生特别是中国学生参加面试。那么问题来，美国大学的面试到底是什么样子的？面试常见的问题又有哪些呢？
美国大学面试的方式：
1.校友面试
常见于常青藤大学，芝加哥大学，罗切斯特大学以及文理学院。其中又分为Skype面试，in-person interview, 电话面试比较常见。
2.第三方面试
最常见的是Initial View, CIEE 和Vericant&
面试怎么来准备？
1．就好像打仗要知己知彼一样，多了解面试官对自己也很有好处。适当的邮件来往可以让对方感觉自己比较有诚意可以加深印象。所以面试前最好要通过邮件等弄清楚对方的大概身份，是Admission Officer, 还是Alumni。如果是前者需要穿正式服装，也就是no jeans. 上身最好是有领子的衣服，颜色深沉一点为妙。女孩子需要稍微打扮打扮，尤其是去参加像Upenn这种热衷于招收漂亮女生的面试的时候。如果是Alumni，就是比较Informal的了，穿的比较得体就可以了，而且地点一般都是Starbucks所以轻松自然点为妙。&
2．网上有很多面试的经典题目，其实都跑不出你申请表中填过的内容，如果你对你申请表中的一切了如指掌，面试根本没有什么好害怕的，无非是，学习的课程拉，专业兴趣拉，平时的活动拉，课外交流拉，家庭背景拉，学校环境拉。最可怕的就是如果你在申请活动中填写到你参加某某个大赛怎么怎么获得奖，或者你当学生会主席组织过某某个大型活动，可是人家让你自己具体的说一说的时候却说不出什么道道来，这样就比较瓜三了。。。另外不要以为Alumni面试并不知道你申请表的内容到底是什么，即使他们不知道，他们也会把你面试上的内容大概的转到Admission Office去，所以如果你对某项自己的经历说不出具体的内容就不要自己主动提出来，万一被问着了就比较悲惨。&
3．口语问题。。。现在练口语可能比较晚了，所以该怎么样就怎么样了。就像你的essay一样，你文章的内容比你词语用得高深成都重要的多，所以呢，就放心大胆的想你到底应该怎么说内容，而不要过多的重视语法，词汇什么的。不过发音上最好让对方听得比较舒服，没事的话可以听听任何标准美语发音的东西，像疯狂英语什么的。但是不管怎么说，不能因为自己的口语也许不好就Panic，如果你自己都对自己没有confidence，让面试官怎么办呢？&
1．一般来说1小时到2小时吧，当然也已因人而异。我当年面试之后竟然还陪着面试的大姐姐去帮她买手表，结果算在一起呆了差不多4.5个小时。&
2．态度要自然，谈到兴奋得问题当然可以显得兴奋，如果刚开始紧张就说有一点点紧张，如果自己的意见和面试官的有异议可以不卑不亢的表达，语速不要太快，至少要让人家听明白你再说英语&
3．至少要在心里对某一项话题又非常充分的底！比如你喜欢看书，你要准备好和人家讨论书，最好可以针对每本书比较深入的发表见解。如果你喜欢音乐，也不要是单纯的喜欢，为什么喜欢，喜欢哪种类型，你对音乐的品味和了解等等。。。如果遇到志同道合的面试者就更好了，不过不管怎样，要让人家了解你在至少某一方面的强项。&
4．如果内容不是你很感兴趣的，至少要表明你是一个很好的听众，而且可以从中找到自己感兴趣的内容来继续发挥。&
5．有时候话题是非常随意的，当你坐到面试的桌前就不是在考察你的过去了，只是在考察你随机应变得能力和你对自己到底了解多少的问题。&
6．如同Admission Officer阅读个人自述的essay一样，面试官也会给很多人面试，这样你再面试过程中要努力突出自己的与众不同之处，或者有些灵巧而机智的回答。比如我记得有个朋友在面试的时候人家问他你紧张么？他说我怎么会紧张呢？我一直是面试别人的嘛！这样就自然的把话题转移到他在学生会的工作上来了。&
7．你与人交流的习惯。虽然面试不是看你的长相，但是一个人的交流方式可以反映出他的性格是不能否认的。所以希望你可以注视对方的眼睛，不要有太多小动作，晚上睡好了千万不要打哈气，等等。&
8．一般面试官不会问太刁难的问题或者政治敏感话题，但是不如Mr. White就比较sharp一点。可是我个人认为，人与人的接触需要真诚而体现自己的风格，随声附和的想法是不太可取得。&
9．准备一些必要的问题问面试官。很obvious的就不要问了，最好问一些对方的感受阿经历阿什么的。比如我记得Yale面试的时候我问过对方耶鲁给你印象最深的是什么，答案是在耶鲁遇见的人blablabla…还有如何在Yale比较成功的survive? 答案是take initiatives.&
1．电话面试是最简单不过的拉。把申请资料在桌子前打开即可。还是那句话，弄清楚自己的申请表是最根本的。所谓电话面试也就是听一下你的表达能力而已，完全不必紧张。&
2．如果你可以商讨面试时间，尽量把时间定在双方都比较清醒的时间段。我当年Princeton面试的时候因为赶时间只能在晚上9点，对方就相当疲惫，所以。。。唉&
3．文科学校的面试会比较亲切，他们近些年来非常重视中国的生源。所以更不要紧张，当成朋友间的普通谈话即可。你会喜欢这样的经历的。&
4．面试之后写邮件去感谢人家，得到录取了或者没有录取应该再去感谢一遍。&
5．如果面试官提到和你一起申请这所学校的你的同学，请用最客气的方式说明你感到很荣幸又这样的朋友和对手和你一起竞争这样一所好大学。&
