7.2.5 签经五 Me: Nice to meet you, madam. VO: Hi, there.(她好像和谁都说hi)
Me: Would you like to my checklist? (计划的是遇到态度好的VO我就塞进去,其他的VO就问问) VO: No. Me: 不看拉倒。(没说: P) VO: Have you got your master degree? Me: No, I am an undergrad now. I will get my bachelor degree in this July. (怕被打断,连PKU都没说,中间好像还问了点什么,忘了) VO: How many universities did you apply? Me: Eight. And 5 of them admitted me. VO: How many gave you offer? Me: Only CU-Boulder. In fact, I was also on the waiting lists of several other universities for financial aid. Blabla...(其实econ的waiting list没有意义,就是没钱嘛,只是给自己一个圆场,适合admission比较多的说法,嘿嘿) 点评: 善于在不利情况下灵机一动也是非常重要的。 VO: …admission letters… Me: 赶紧塞进去boulder的letter VO: No, the admission letters from other universities. Me: (没想到,以为VO现在很少看其他学校的admission了,急忙从那个不重要的袋子里拿出来塞给她,只有三个学校的,向她解释了一下另一个学校。) VO: G&T scores. (她看了一眼就扔出来了) VO: Why do you choose this univ.? Me: My choice is based on my research interest.(小吹了一下,说它的public econ比较好,说完了,看她还再看我,就加了一句I want to solve the economic problems in China.) VO: … Me: 忘了我当时瞎说什么了 VO: What do you think the government should do…farmers…in the future? Me: 这和aNesta问我朱镕基的经济政策也差不多嘛,也没太明白她问的究竟是什么,瞎侃吧。开始说解决农民问题多么重要,中国有多少农民……(好像被打断了,问我什么问题最严重,该怎么办之类的)我就准备了关于social insurance的,自然就往这上扯,(受益于TSE,准备了啥,就往啥上面扯),说income inequality大了,government taxing and spending...blabla... VO: What's your plan after graduation? Me: I will come back to help the government solve the economic problems in China. My favorite plan is to do economic research in PKU. (被打断,但我可是准备了一两百字的详细计划,还没说我要研究啥呢。) VO: You said your favorite plan, then what's your other plan? 点评: 这就是2003年一个考察重点:Second plan. Me: I will come back to my hometown and provide consulting service to the local government. VO: Why not stay in US? Me: Because I know that in US the job market is not very good for PhDs in Economics(重读economics,3xs 2 my major!),but economics is a hot major in China.(又被打断,这次我还有两三百字没说呢,呵呵。) VO: Then why study in US? Me: Studying in US will broaden my horizon, so that I can see economic problems from different angles.(又打断) VO: Then why not other countries, such as...? Me: US has the best PhD programs in the world. It holds a leading position...blabla...to succeed in China. (这几个问题比较关键,都是意料中的,所以我反应比较快,也没给她什么漏洞,死活就是说回China混的好,呵呵)她又关上话筒和新手讲话,我就傻傻地站在哪儿,她说了半天,我终于想起来要把support letter拿出来给她看一下,不能白准备,但事后认为,她这时已经决定给我Visa了。把support letter塞给她,她看了两眼。我又把现在的一个老师的email塞给她,就是说回来的情况怎么怎么好,她看了一下说,oh, it's from your present advisor, I thought it was from US。我赶紧解释说就是现在的,呵呵,前副院长什么的。期间她一直在边敲电脑边和助手聊天,中间还拧开一个小瓶往手上擦油,我还以为她是要盖章呢,呵呵,而且不停地翻我护照,我有点紧张,呵呵,也没见在DS上写什么啊。忽然问了我一句,我没听清,pardon了一下。 点评: 如果在这几个why not上面出现卡壳或者逻辑问题,签证就没戏了。建议大家在练习VO的时候多练打断和argue. VO: Do you have relatives in US? Me: Oh, no. 还是等电脑,然后她拿了一个长方形的黄色纸条,撕下了一个正方形,呵呵,和我想像中的小条差别比较大,竟然一时没有反映过来,直到听到window 10. Me: Many thanks, madam! Your smile is really sweat!(真的,很pp的mm啊:)~~ 本来准备的话就临时变了一下,呵呵) 好像还有别的问题,实在记不起来了,但没有太意外的问题 写出来挺长,但整个过程也就是十多分钟吧,其中很长时间在和新手讨论,中间大tt? 还来和她讨论过一次。不过给我这么多时间我已经很知足了。 点评: 1.褐发妹妹有个特点,喜欢问毫不相干的问题,比如要你没接受的ad,问你不是最喜欢的plan。 2.VO一般对经济问题还都有些了解,所以可以问出一些专业问题。呵呵 3.中间几个为什么到美国,为什么不在美国呆着回答的一般。尤其是为什么不在美国呆着,强调了经济在美国不好找工作,这是事实,不过VO有可能会说你是因为不好找工作才可能回来,如果你找到了,怎么会回来? 4.这个mm很自信,所以临场的表现就非常的好,打动了杀手jfmm啊,不容易。 5.一句话,这些人有些运气比较好,So pls take their suggestions and experience selectively. Be fully prepared is the key and don’t push our luck. |
