Wake Forest 面经 (12.24完结)

2013/12/19
发出LSAC电子报告的当天就收到了面试的通知。
说是10-15分钟的 Skype Conversation， 检查口语应该无疑， 让我在23号和26号之间选择。

我回复他们26号的面试我可以，她当天给我回复：Lets talk Monday, December 23rd at 10:00am EST.
早知如此为何还要问我……

2013/12/24
托寄托以及群友的福，对WF家的面试大概有了了解，都是问些基本问题，我准备还算充分。

接下来上面经：
1.为什么选择我们学校？---基本上每个学校都会问这个吧……早有准备

2.毕业后的职业生涯规划是什么？---由于我后面提到了回中国做律师，所以她问了我现在能不能practice to law，我直接说不能，我没考BAR，今年没时间。她说没关系，有的人考了，有的人没考，有的人过了，有的人没过……

3.在律所的实习有什么收获？---我主要强调了理论和实际差距还是很大的，要在意细节酱紫。

4.谈谈Moot Court的感受？---这个我没想到，我就说了一句我们准备得很充分，所以拿了冠军，是个宝贵的经验。

然后她说这就是她全部的问题鸟~
然后换我问，我问了住宿、车否、以及校园文化。她说我们LLM人很少，所以宿舍有可能是别的专业的。不需要车。

然后我说就是这样。
换她介绍奖学金政策，不需要额外的essay以及Form，所有的人都会被考虑。

我们也想早点给你发邮件，但是现在放假，只能等到一月第二周了，如果没给你发，及时联系我！

然后我祝她圣诞节快乐就结束啦~时间大约13分钟

题外话：由于我长得比较嫩，所以这位女士看我的眼神总像面试高中生一样，不过倒是很温馨，会根据我的语速调整她自己的，明显感觉后来说的慢了点。

我的同学已经被Wake Forest录取了，给了几千的奖学金。他之前跟我说面试就是问一些很常规的问题，比如说why law school之类的，以及一些有关于简历的问题，貌似不是很难。据同学说小米人很好，整个面试气氛都很轻松

我直接贴到这里吧，其他人看到也有个参考。这些问题都是从版里的面试帖子里找的，我觉得还挺有代表性的，忘记是在那个帖子找的了，所以不标记出处了，感谢提供问题的各位大神们。

问过我的就标记成红色了。
1. How did you make the decision to attend your undergraduate school?
2. How did you choose your major? Did you enter with the same major you graduated with?
3. As we look at your transcripts, will we notice any trends in your grades or any classes that were a struggle, or were your grades consistent all the way through?
4. What was your favorite class in college and why?
5. Who was your favorite college professor and why?
6. What was your most difficult class in college and why?
7. Describe the main extracurricular activities in which you were involved.
8. What do you feel your most significant leadership opportunity has been?
9. How do you define an effective leader?
10. Describe your leadership style.
11. When you have free time, what do you enjoy doing for fun?
12. If you could now go back and start your undergraduate experience over, is there anything you would do differently or advice that you would give yourself as an incoming freshman, or would you do it again the same way?
13. What is the most challenging project or situation that you have encountered in your work?
14. What is the most significant project you have had to manage? How did you approach the task and what did you learn from the experience?
15. Describe the most significant written document you have completed.
16. Describe an oral presentation you made in which you were successful in communicating an idea or convincing others of your idea.
17. Was there ever a time that you experienced a conflict or disagreement with someone else in the workplace? If so, please describe the situation and how you handled it.
18. How do you generally go about resolving conflicts with others?
19. What do you consider as some of the best advice you have received from others concerning your educational choices or career?
20. What do you consider as your most difficult decision up to this point in your life?
21. If I were to meet with your supervisors and/or faculty members with whom you have had the closest interactions and ask them what qualities they feel you have that will help you succeed in a legal career, what do you think they would point out?
22. How did you make the decision to go to law school?
23. What kind of employment do you see yourself pursuing after you graduate from law school?
24. What is your ultimate dream for your long-term career?
25. How will you define success in your career?
26. I assume that you are applying to some other schools besides Northwestern. To what other schools are you also applying?
27. If you were to be accepted to all of the schools to which you are applying, how will you choose which school to attend?
28. On the down side, what if you don't get into law school this year? What is your backup plan?
29. What do you think your greatest challenge in law school will be?

以上这些问题大部分都比较难，或者说challenging，反正我是没被challenging过，但准备一下没坏处。必要的话可以把自己想说的话写下。

重点要准备一下why law school和career goal。小本貌似不会问特别深的问题，但这两个问题似乎是必问的，建议control+C一下各学校官网的内容，好好了解一下各学校的课程设计，再跟自己的career goal结合一下回答比较好。另外就是准备好自己的简历内容吧，简历的每一部分都知道用英文怎么描述。

其他的自己看论坛吧，善用论坛资源，寄托的大神太多了，值得膜拜和学习的地方太多了。

赞这个 LZ好:loveliness: 虽然没被面过 不过每次看这种帖子的时候总在想 为什么不能把他们绕进我们事先准备好的内容里以掌握主动呢 比如LLM学生的选课范围是否受到限制（如是否可以选JD学生1L，seminar，clinic之类的）结合你的职业规划让面你的人在选课方面给点意见 研究一下他们的网站挑几个你感兴趣的professor大聊特聊 当然了这些都是要在你做好充足research的前提下进行 这样就把他们绕进你准备的圈子里 20分钟很快就过去了

btw 我本人做presentation 都是把别人可能问我的问题全部想到 然后整理成标准答案背下来 悲催吧 大概需要一周时间 你来得及
