嘻，还有几个建议，面试的时候记得不时看看摄像头，不要一直盯着桌面上的视频窗口，那样会显得你不直视面试官

可以把关键问题的要点写好了贴在屏幕上

尽量穿的正式一点（这个在tls上有争议，但是我们那天和dean of admission聊天时候说到这个，她说宁可overdress也不要太过随意，然后开玩笑说最好穿全套，因为好多同学都说面试的时候上面西装领带下面睡裤拖鞋，她特别想在每个面试的时候叫被面的站起来转个圈。。。）

interview done。 not too much闲聊，很快就开始问问题了，问了一些list上没有的问题，不过还是能扯一下的。现在回想一下，主要就是一，问学习方面，你是如何保持学习热情的，description of your school's grading system(这个说实话把我难住了），第二就是psycho方面的，如何应对压力啊，如何解决纠纷啊这些。对方一边听时不时敲键盘take notes,很多次我回答时对方并没有在看摄像头，而是侧着头在听，所以我也不知道是否不满意的表现。问问题问了大概10-11分钟的样子，最后让我提了一个问题，她回答的挺长的。就看最后的decision怎么样吧。就早开始面试前翻了翻邮箱，又有一个学校给我发面试邀请了。

作者: zhifeixie 时间: 2013-10-19 07:59:28

我感觉互动还是差了点，因为我经常是答完后就点头，让他知道我答完了，然后他就说ok,然后就接着问了。不知道我的答案是否还是显得太programmed了，让他感到不满的表现。anyway one done, expecting another. just interview after interview

作者: zhifeixie 时间: 2013-10-19 08:02:45

回想起来，好像是我一开始互动就做的不太好，两人扯了几句我就没话说了，就坐那笑，点头，然后她看我接不上就开始问问题了，下次争取主动出击，在对方提问前自己先问几句how r u, how's the weather什么的

努力回忆一下问题list 顺序可能不太对
一上来先问的是what have u been doing recently after law school application？现在回想起来这个问题其实应该是想先放松一下气氛，然后再慢慢过渡，但是我自己没expect到这个问题，所以答得不太好吧感觉，也算是给后面开了个坏头，too formal too programmed 下次就多瞎扯
然后就是 1.whY our school?  （definitely didn't see it coming so early）
how did you prepare for lsat （ didn't expect this either）
why law school
what do you do when u have free time
what study advice will you give to someone who is going to start college
description of your school grading system(definitely didn't expect this, which caught me off guard，now that I look back, she's probably wondering why someone with a 3.44 gpa is top 10 percent of class，because in USA, top people usually have like 3.8 gpa and thus she wants to to explain) and your performance
where do u see yourself in 5 years

law school is gonna be pretty tough, not much time to socialize or hang out with friends, a lot of deadlines, how will u face it
好像还问了个关于leadership的问题？实在记不太清楚有没有问了，面试前碰好病了，今天都有点晕
an experience of you working in a team and resolving conflicts  (this is like the last question)

一想到有问题就回来编辑，发现还问了不少问题啊

周二晚上10点半，第二个面试结束。
跟上一个学校的面试风格完全不一样，上一次比较formal，这次真的非常非常casual，就像是在聊天。
和我事先网上搜的关于该女面试官的评价一样，人非常nice，问题也很easy。除了坑爹的电话不知道是我电话的问题还是她那边的问题还是说信号的问题，她的声音很小，我要很努力的去听清楚她在说什么。 so lesson learned: skype is better than cellphone.

照旧，努力回忆一下问题列表。顺序不对
why do you want to go to law school?
why do you choose to study law in undergraduate?
why do this choose this major? will you choose to continue to focus on this major in US law schools?
you said you like sports, what sports do you play?
where is your hometown?
your english is very good, how do you learn english?
your lsat score is good, how do you prepare for lsat?
where do you want to start your legal practicing career?
each US city has its advantage, do you know someone who has lived in this city?

暂时就这么多吧。最后还是照样可以提问题，我提了2个。
手机上17分钟整对方挂断。所以持续了大概15分钟那样把。

因为12月要考第二次lsat的缘故，面试中断了一段时间，然后考完lsat的这周，两天内堆了4个面试。

周三早上6点15第一个，5点多就要起床准备了。是一个处于小城市的感觉乡村气息挺浓的私校。因为面试了也挺多了，没有刻意准备。一开始打完招呼对方她就说，我把你的简历打印出来了，根据你的简历问一些问题。
开头是why law school?
然后根据简历，你在哪里哪里的internship经历给我们讲一下可以吗？
然后是after graduation, your career goal?
然后是你的简历写着你喜欢什么运动，讲讲好么
然后就到了我提问的环节，对方一如既往的答得很详细。
不过感觉这个学校可能希望小点，感觉面试没啥感觉，没有chemistry的样子，而且他家项目不大，据他介绍每年国际生也就那么几个。

1个小时后又有另一个学校的校友面试了。这是第一次跟alumni面试，期待。

估计会是最后一更了。
某学校，之前听别人说在国内跟该校的alumni面试就是很随意的聊聊天过去了，但是跟admission skype 面试就是完全另一回事。感觉这个学校把面试做得很量化。一开始她说，我手里拿着你的resume，待会你回答问题的时候，我会不停地take notes,请你不要介意。而事实证明她确实是在不停地take notes. 面试的流程是，先让我做了个brief introduction，然后就开始问问题，然后你回答的过程中她会不停低下头在纸上记录打钩什么的。而且完全没有互动，你回答完问题后对方最多点点头或者说句that's cool什么的，就直接开始问下一道问题了。而这个过程持续了整整20分钟，所以楼主是回答问题说的嘴唇都快要干了。。。。。。。。。pu,面试完就是standard的让你提一个问题。然后就没有然后了。
努力回忆问题list
