1. Try to predict interview questions.

It is very likely that you will be too nervous on the day of the entrance interview, and you may not be able to answer the interviewer's questions well. This is why you should try to predict these questions and think about the answers you can give to highlight your academic enthusiasm and quality. Before the real interview, conduct several mock interviews with family or friends. This will make you more prepared and confident.

Read the college admissions brochure and course details carefully again and think about what recruiters are looking for. They may ask you why you went to that university, what your career plan is, how you describe yourself, what your achievements are, and so on. Write down some answers to these common interview questions, so that the day is unlikely to be "blank"

2. Choose your interview clothes carefully.

Choosing a suit suitable for an interview must be known to everyone, but it is often more difficult than imagined. One of the interview skills is to ensure that the school provides advice on dress code. If it is proposed by the school, then follow it accurately.

However, if they don't offer any suggestions, you should dress decently and comfortably, which won't distract the interviewer from your point of view. It can be as simple as pants with shirts. Don't wear clothes to attract others' attention, but make sure your clothes are decent and comfortable.

3. Full of confidence and passion

In order to impress the admissions office, you need to be full of confidence and enthusiasm in the professional field you plan to study. Confidence conveys that you know what you want and are willing to work hard to realize your plan. At the same time, make sure that you express your passion for this subject and explain how you found that this is what you want to pursue.

It is also a good idea to discuss your career or academic plan confidently, and be as specific as possible. This will show that you have seriously considered your future and you are really interested in becoming a professional in your chosen field. This is to show that you have your own plans, and these plans are very suitable for this university.

4. Do your own research.

There is no doubt that if you really want to study in an American university, you need to be fully prepared for the entrance interview. Make sure you know as much as possible about this university and the courses you choose. You can do this by simply reading and taking notes, which are based on the summary of the university website and any important information sent to you before the interview. It also means that you know what will happen on the day of the interview.

In addition, please remember that the admissions officer may ask you some questions based on the application form and papers you submitted, so be prepared to learn more about anything you mentioned in your application. They may also ask some questions related to the field you want to study; Not realizing this may make you look uninterested. So, be sure to keep up with the latest news and trends of your topic.

keep oneself clear-headed

If you try to show the other person who you are and what you value in life, just like what you say in an interview, you will leave a good impression on the other person. In order to do this, you need to give your opinion and make a logical argument. The way to do this is always to provide examples to support your point of view.

Although you may face some problems, there will always be some unexpected talking points, whether they are for you or not. If you don't know, don't rush to give an answer. What impresses the interviewer is not the speed of your answer, but the way you think, construct and support your answer.

6. Listen carefully to the admissions staff.

When you feel nervous in an American college entrance interview, try to pay attention to the interviewer's language and body language. This will help you get rid of nervous feelings and help you better understand what the admissions officer wants to know.

Even during the interview, you can take notes, which can be used as your own reference to prepare for future interviews. It is important to pay attention to every question and the response of the admissions officer; Try to understand the intention of each question and what the interviewer wants to know about you. This will keep you focused and give you a chance to get a more accurate answer.

7. Prepare some questions for your tutor.

At the end of the interview, the interviewer will usually ask you if you have any questions. Even if you have a lot of questions, you may not remember anything at the moment because of the great pressure at that time.

Try to prepare two or three questions for the interviewer in advance, and make full use of this opportunity to learn more about the university and your academic qualifications. This will not only benefit you, but also prove that you are interested in this opportunity and ensure that it is your best choice.

One thing, though, is to make sure that the questions you ask will not be answered just by browsing the school website or reading the school brochure. Thinking about something deeper will show that you have studied this project and help you know more.

Extended reading: how to reduce the cost of studying in the United States

First, confirm the regional environment.

In the United States, different states and cities have different levels of economic development, and prices will be greatly affected. Therefore, even schools with similar teaching level and actual ranking will have very different fees for professional study.

Therefore, students who want to save money can choose a city with a slightly more geographical location, so that the tuition fees that everyone needs to prepare will be relatively cheaper, but the quality of teaching they can receive will not be very different. The obvious difference will be the provision of living infrastructure.

In addition, you can also divide your own learning stages. You can go to the community college to receive basic education first, and then transfer to your favorite institution, which can save a lot of money, because the tuition of the community college is very cheap.

Second, prepare the bonus application.

Generally speaking, students can get three types of projects, including demand-based projects, achievement-based projects and demand-based projects.

When applying for a school, you can consult whether to grant scholarships. If so, you must apply hard. General places are allocated according to the proportion of students, except for special projects, most of them are allocated according to the ability of students.

Therefore, it is generally recommended to go to official website to obtain resources, and institutions that can provide students with relatively generous scholarships should be everyone's first choice. In addition, it depends on the funds and financial support provided by the government to schools.

Third, buy second-hand books.

The tuition fees paid by everyone to the school do not include the books to be used in class. All books need to be bought by yourself. These are not very expensive, but you can also save money from them, because the physical books here are more expensive.

It is generally suggested that we buy second-hand books, or borrow them directly from the library. This is an economical way, and everyone can get them easily. You can buy second-hand books by going to the website or directly looking for seniors.
