您所在的位置: 首页> 新闻列表> 美国大学面试如何准备:Why Your Major?.
大学一般都很清楚地知道,大多数高中生进入大学后,很可能会change their major,但是,美国大学面试官希望通过这一个问题能看出这个学生已经有一些sense of direction. 换言之,it is okay to be undecided, but the student should still describe what majors are appealing.
于是,如果一个学生仅仅只是states a major but does not state why that major appeals to him/her,就像“I think I want to major in Chemistry” 之类的,显然这种答案是不能令人满意的。
较好的答案标准是,这个学生可以states a major without truly understanding what the major is but can support it with some activities. 举一个例子,如果该面试的学生这样回答:“I want to major in something science oriented. Currently, I am considering Chemistry because it is a good combination of my passion for science and math.” 我认为,这还凑合吧。
优秀的答案,其标准应该是,这个学生should demonstrate thorough knowledge of a major, evidence of some pursuit of knowledge in that subject area and can connect it to the school well. 比方说,或许这样地回答关于major的问题:“Chemistry is most likely what I will major in. I have taken two Chemistry courses at my school and scored a 5 on the AP test. I love Chemistry because it is the basis of almost everything that we use. This summer I worked with the Earth Science Department at Stanford where I helped a graduate student study the formation of ice on Antarctica. I had to use many of the chemical principles I learned, such as the difference between Oxygen 7 and Oxygen 8, to help date the dirt samples. I also realized that I love working in a lab, even though it can be tedious at times. MIT also has one of the best Chemistry Labs and the new Calorimeter is supposed to be the best in the world for dating samples. I want to be in that environment and learn from the best.”
介绍完上面的标准答案和优秀答案,参加美国大学面试的呢是否心中已经有数了呢?
