Boston University： Why o we like to see interviews?波士頓大學(xué)招生官說“為什么要面試？”

學(xué)校在面試中想了解什么？

波士頓大學(xué)招生官重點強調(diào)了這些：

學(xué)校在面試中希望看到什么樣的學(xué)生？真誠、坦率，展現(xiàn)自己真實的思想，而不是把自己包裝成學(xué)校希望看到的樣子。展現(xiàn)自己的個性特點以及在紙質(zhì)材料中看不到的東西和招生官探討自己感興趣的東西，展現(xiàn)自己的熱情對自己參加各種活動的反思證明自己的語言溝通能力，在文化背景和語言能力不同的情況下仍然勇于表現(xiàn)自己

波士頓大學(xué)“你表現(xiàn)出的對大學(xué)的興趣絕對是面試中很重要的一部分。即便你只是提交面試，這對你的申請就已經(jīng)有幫助了。”波士頓大學(xué)“給我留下深刻印象的是那些對自己充滿信心的學(xué)生，他們不是極力證明自己是學(xué)校想要的學(xué)生，而只是真誠地展現(xiàn)自己，和我們探討不同的話題，他們勇于進行這些討論?！?/p>

為什么面試對你的申請非常重要？面試能夠讓學(xué)校了解學(xué)生對這所學(xué)校的渴望，使你的申請更有競爭力面試是學(xué)校了解學(xué)生個性的唯一機面試使學(xué)校了解學(xué)生在校園里會怎樣和其他人交往如果你的語言成績在申請的邊緣，面試會讓學(xué)校了解你的各種實際技能，從眾多申請者中脫穎而出

波士頓大學(xué)“美國的大學(xué)和學(xué)院差異非常非常大，了解你的個性和在面試中的表現(xiàn)能讓我們設(shè)想你未來在校園中的表現(xiàn)?！安ㄊ款D大學(xué)“一個學(xué)生可能沒有很高的托?；蜓潘汲煽儯绻覀冊诿嬖囍锌吹剿麄兡軌蛴糜⒄Z交流，即使有一些語法錯誤，也沒關(guān)系。重要的是你要證明你能理解別人也能被別人理解，這對我們非常有幫助?！?/p>

關(guān)于面試的準(zhǔn)備有什么建議嗎？波士頓大學(xué)“不要介意我們想聽到什么，展現(xiàn)真實的自己，講述自己的故事。不要期望我們會對你說：“你是個很棒的申請人”，我們不會做出判斷，我們不會讓你感覺你的英語很糟糕。面試的時候，我們會保持微笑，因為和你談話很愉快。當(dāng)然，你會感到緊張，這沒關(guān)系。記住，我們都是普通人，我們是來幫助你的！”

Why is the interview important to your application process?

Interviews offer a chance to see a stuent’s interest in the school. Just submitting an interview makes you a more competitive applicant.The interview is the only chance schools have to get to know the personality of a stuent,an see what they are like as a real personThe interview helps schools picture the stuent on their campus,an how they might interact with other stuents on campus alreayThe interview helps schools unerstan what the true ability is of stuents who are on the ege of their language test requirements

Boston University“All of the colleges an universities in the U.S. are very very ifferent… Being able to see your personality an see how that comes out in the interview process is something that efinitely helps us get to know you better an also picture you on our campus engaging with our stuents alreay here.”

Boston University“[Stuents] might not have a super high TOEFL or IELTS score,but once you see them using English in action you can tell that even if there are some grammatical mistakes that’s ok… If you can show us that you are comfortable engaging in the language an that you can be unerstoo an you can unerstan what is going on in the interview that is very,very helpful.”
