With national benchmark scores for postgraduate admission having been released late last month, scores for each graduate school will soon follow. Applicants who did well in exams will face the ultimate challenge of impressing an academic panel to get enrolled on a master’s degree.
隨著三月末考研線的發(fā)布,各大院校也將在短時間內(nèi)公布自主分?jǐn)?shù)線。而那些考試分?jǐn)?shù)優(yōu)異的考生們又將面對終極挑戰(zhàn):他們必須打動面試小組來獲取研究生入學(xué)通知書。
“The purpose of the interview is to get to know applicants beyond their paper application. It’s a chance for applicants to distinguish themselves from the other applicants and show the interviewers what makes them a better candidate,” said Wei Yuquan, the postgraduate dean at Sichuan University.
四川研究生院院長魏于全表示:“面試的目的是了解學(xué)生論文以外的情況。對考生們來說,這是一個令自己從考生大軍中脫穎而出的機會,可以向考官證實自己是個更好的人選。”
For students looking to further their study after graduation, tips offered by experts and students for the interview also serve as a guideline for their studies.

“準(zhǔn)備面試時,一定要考慮到自己的聽眾——專攻不同領(lǐng)域的教授們。所以你要拜讀他們的研究報告、著作及其他學(xué)術(shù)作品,了解他們的興趣愛好以及研究領(lǐng)域,這點十分關(guān)鍵。有了一定了解后,你才能打動考官們,給出正確答案,更重要的是,提出正確的問題。”
Different schools have a different style of interviewing candidates. This is where online forums for postgraduate study can help. On these forums, students share their experience of being interviewed by a particular professor, some recommend must-read pieces, and some evendescribe the interviewer’s interest in a particular research area.
每個高校的考研面試風(fēng)格各不相同。這一點就需要向研究生學(xué)習(xí)論壇來尋求幫助了。在這些論壇上,學(xué)生們分享自己被某位教授面試的經(jīng)歷,有些人推薦了必讀書目,還有人甚至明確寫出某面試官對某一研究領(lǐng)域的興趣愛好。
Finally, make a list of your own strengths, achievements, and any recognitions you’ve received. Memorize the list and try to use examples from it to answer questions related to these traits confidently.”
最后,列出自己的特長、成就以及獲得的表彰并牢記于心,回答跟個人特質(zhì)有關(guān)的問題時,盡量從中舉例給出有力證明。”
