wayne state university phd面经

在寄托学到了很多，所以也希望能帮到他人。是biochemistry and molecular biology phd program

其实到了4月，根据网上资料，对于面试已经不抱希望了
4.23半夜接到越洋电话，一个中国教授作翻译，和另外一个美国教授问是否对wayne还有兴趣.约了4.26电话面试.
这里特别感谢wayne，当初lz推荐信有一封没有导师签名，其中一个教授联系了lz，反复弄了好几次，前后1个月，最后小秘也帮忙，才终于弄好. 让lz非常感动

打电话的美国教授特别发了tips过来，供大家参考：
1)    The depth of your scientific knowledge.  They will concentrate on the research you have done but occasionally broader questions are usually asked.  They are interested in the technical aspects of your research but are more interested that you know the background, objectives and maybe where it goes from here.

2)      Your enthusiasm and commitment to research.  How and when you developed the interest in biochemistry and molecular biology? Why did you choose Wayne State University School of Medicine?  Why the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology?  Are there any specific labs or faculty that you are interested in working with?  It’s good to specify someone and why you are interested in their research.  How interested are you in coming here?

3)    Your communication skills.  How well you speak English (you shouldn’t have any problem), how clear and logical are your responses.  How well do you get your ideas across..

面试完全符合上面的3点，非常怀疑这是他们的提问习惯。由另外两个系的教授进行面试。
过去UTMB面试，教授把lz的三个实验室经历都仔细问了，所以这次lz平均地准备。谁知道wayne的教授只问了lz现在所在的实验。背景挖掘非常深，会问“为什么选这几个蛋白”“选这个基因有什么用”直到lz完全答不出来。。。冷场了T—T
后面问了“why wayne，why this program” 这里跟大家分享一下，lz和一个留美20多年回国的教授聊过，教授表示那些从维基百科搜到的好话就不用说了，其实直接说“fellowship attractive,” “the university is very kind to me ”之类的教授会觉得很真诚。
最后也问“hobby”之类的

感想是大家还是多看点和自己研究有关的paper，lz准备面试甚至在word里敲了文章，但感觉背诵的不如自然聊，所以熟悉自己研究自信和教授聊天就好了

祝大家都有心仪的offer
