　　i got my bachelor‘s degree in computational science in 2006 from zhongshan university and got my ms’s degree in software engineering in 2010 from peking university.image processing is my favorite research field, i have published several papers and a book on this field and i also have two years working experience on that.

　　13) how do you know this univ.? (你怎么知道这所大学的?)

　　i searched the ranking of university in electric engineering on line and read the schools among the top 100 lists, visited their website to get familiar with their faculty and research. i found there are 7 professors in electric department in auburn university whose research interest includes image processing, very many, then i decide to apply for this university.

　　14) what is your plan? what will you do after graduation? (你有什么计划?毕业后准备做什么?)

　　i will specialize in image processing and finish my ph.d study in electric engineering in auburn university in about 4 years.then i will come back to china and find a position in an university. my desired work place is shenzhen, i‘m going to join shenzhen university to be a professor in electric engineering.

　　15) give me three reasons that you will come back to china? (给我三个你会回中国的理由)

　　first of all, i’m the only child of my parents. i have to come back and take care of my parents since they will become older and weaker as time goes by. the attachment to family is very strong for our chinese people. secondly, as you can see, i applied for a ph.d program instead of m.s. program. as far as i know, and probably as you know, ph.d holders in the states are not so easy to find good jobs as ms holders even in the same discipline. if i intended to find a job and stay in the states, i would not have applied for ph.d. but ms program. and ph.d will take much more time, without the real interest, who would pay so much time and energy to chase a ph.d degree? finally, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in china with my ph.d in electric engineering got in the united states. my career objective determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to china than staying in the states. you see my long range objective is to become a professor and it would be very difficult for me to realize it should i choose to stay in the states, for the united states is a highly developed county, the competition to get a position in university is too fierce. on the contrary, if i come back to china, i have much better opportunity. since china is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, so it is much more practical for me to get a teaching position in a chinese university.

　　16) can you explain why 90% chinese students didn‘t come back? (你能解释为什么90%的中国学生都不回国吗?)

　　i think that is partly because they were afraid that they would not be treated fairly after they come back. as a matter of fact, that used to be the reality. but things has been changing greatly during recent years and much more students are coming back after they have finished their study. i also think this has something to do with the majors. as for students majoring in science, they may like the better equipment, environment and salary in the states because they are afraid that if they are back some of their research can not go on as a result of poor facility and shortage of funding. but as for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in china with my ph.d in electric engineering got in the united states. you see, it is a practical major. my career objective also determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to china than staying in the states. you see my long range objective is to become a professor and it would be very difficult for me to realize it should i choose to stay in the states, for the united states is a highly developed county, the competition to get a position in university is too fierce. on the contrary, if i come back to china, i have much better opportunities. since china is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, so it is much more practical for me to get a teaching position in a chinese university.

　　17) why do you choose this univ.? (你为什么选择这所大学)

　　first of all, the electric engineering program of auburn university is among the top ph.d programs in the states, and in my proposed research field-image processing, there are 7 professors in electric engineering department in auburn university. and also i like the weather of auburn, just similar to the weather of guangzhou. another reason is that i got the admission from auburn university very early-in early october. and i accepted this admission before november 1st.

　　18) why do you like your major? (你为什么喜欢你的专业)

　　i believe electric engineering is promising in china. as for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in any of the big cities in china with my ph.d got in the united states. you see, it is a practical major. my long range objective is to become a professor and it would be very difficult for me to realize it should i choose to stay in the states, for the united states is a highly developed county, the competition to get a position in university is too fierce. on the contrary, if i come back to china, i have much better opportunities. since china is underdeveloped, it leaves much more space for people, so it is much more practical for me to get a teaching position in a chinese university.

　　19) why do you want to study in usa? (你为什么想在美国学习)

　　i believe electric engineering is a promising major currently in china. the united states offers the best education in this field. the professors in the states have deeper knowledge in this science, while the research in china trying to understand one technology in electric science, the professors in the states are able to create more original theories. so to have my ph.d education in the usa is a reasonable and wise decision.

　　20) why do you want to pursue a doctor’s degree? (你为什么想攻读博士学位)

　　as for my major, it will be very easy for me to find a good job in china with my ph.d degree in electric engineering got in the united states. you see, it is a practical major. my long range objective is to become a professor and i think a ph.d is necessary for me to realize my career objective.i don‘t want to stop someday on my half way toward success to resume my study as a result of lacking of knowledge.so i need a ph.d degree in this field.

　　21) what is the most difficult class do you have? (你觉得什么课程比较困难?)

　　probably algorithm. it is a course about advanced calculating and requires high technique in both computer programming and mathematics.

　　22) have you assigned any tutor? (你有安排导师吗?)

　　my tutor has not been determined, the university let me decide who i will follow within one year after my arrival in the campus.

　　23) what’s the difference between your major now and the major in usa? (你现在的专业和你在美国念的专业有什么不同?)

　　they belongs to the same field. my undergraduate study and graduate study are mathematics and computer engineering. the major i‘m going to study in auburn university is electric and computer engineering. the only difference is that what i’m going to study is more detailed and much deeper in this filed.

　　六、若是电话面试时要主动问候，给老师留下良好的第一印象。你可以预先把准备好的问候语先写下来，还有一些自己觉得比较重要的问题要点，到时可以提醒自己。

　　七、无论是亲自面谈、视频或电话面谈，最重要的是要放轻松，保持最佳状态才可以发挥最好的水平。建议学生要找专业的面谈培训老师多做情景模拟练习。

　　八、准备一些必要的工具，例如在手边放一支钢笔和一张纸，你可能会在面试的时候记上一点东西；同时准备一份你要问面试者的问题的清单。

　　你还需要整理出一份你所参加的课外活动的列表，连同它们相应的时间和地点，这就让你的能力一目了然，更加凸显。

　　九、听清楚面试官的问题是面试成功的关键环节，但是如果出现没有听清楚或是没有听懂的现象也不要灰心，可以向美国高中学校面试官询问，这并不会对面试产生不利的影响。千万不要不懂装懂，胡乱对答，要时刻保持清醒的头脑，灵活的应对面试官的问题。

　　十、面谈后给学校写感谢信。离开学校后，最好在1天内给面谈的老师写封感谢信、email、传真或邮寄，再次表达你对此校的兴趣，同时感谢面谈老师给你的面谈机会等。要时刻保持清醒的头脑，灵活的应对面试官的问题。

　　美国留学面签通过率

　　为了缓解美国签证的巨大压力，美国在进一步放宽了签证申请政策，满足日益高涨的签证需求，让更多人去美国留学，旅游，工作。据了解，美国签证形势大好，根据官方的统计数据显示，各类签证总的通过率在85%左右，但也有少数申请者被拒签。

　　美国留学签证通过率高为什么还会被拒签？

　　大家可能要问了，既然去年美国留学签证通过率这么高，为什么还会有人被拒签呢？立思辰留学360专家表示，签证失败，不要认为这是运气不好。签证过程中有没有“运气”，应该说有，但机率也就在1%左右。我们要透过失败的现象看到本质，究其根本原因，最好请教有经验的机构进行咨询，才能够对症下药。很多被拒签的申请者并非真的不符合领馆要求，比如学历作假、资金不够等，而是有些学生英语较差，还有些申请者则属于自信心不足，不能跟签证官正常交流，导致拒签。

　　由于面试官非常注重申请者的沟通能力，尤其是英语沟通能力。因此，面试前需要空前地花费力量去提高自己的表现能力，以英语为基础自如地表达出自己的展示能力、交流能力和交际能力。回答问题简明扼要，不要太安静，太害羞。
