H: Good, what do you think of the implications of game theory in business?

M:这个虽然没准备，但是毕竟学过，还是应对比较自如

: h: E. O. e* B! E" eH: Good, now tell me is there any problem you met during your application of game theory?

M: 这个问题就难了，哥们我不是专业研究game theory 的啊，这小子跟这个干上了，当时觉得汗就要下来了，不过还是混乱说了很多，这个问题回答的比较失败

（这个时候，院长大人拿出我的research proposal）

M: ^&$%^%$&$（这个是非常具体的细节问题，以后phd面试的同志们一定注意，写在rp里面的东西一定要非常非常清楚）

H: Emm, good! Which kind of statistical model you used?

M: Logistic regression

H: What results have you got from it?

后面因为我自己发挥，院长大人和我又有了一段关于家庭，中国对管理的认识等等的讨论，总之是有点跑题。不过院长还是院长，很快就拨乱反正了

7 p0 r; _$ L, H* ^$ u! G9 b) fH: Why reading?

' c/ K% U+ N% n* {9 R" \/ p- J( HM:（因为当时还沉浸在跑题的话题中，没有特别重视这个问题，很失策!）申请以前我做过调查，喜欢reading的环境，氛围等等（这个问题大家一定多准备，个人觉得很重要）

2 }3 j9 P) V$ }8 l' @6 tH: What is the most serious disadvantage of reading in your list while you were doing your research for application?

9 B, `( o+ w$ i+ c# H% vM: （这个问题听了就蒙了一下，都练习的是怎么夸reading了，没想过不好的地方啊）只好说是没觉得什么问题。（我当时的回答非常不冷静！最好以后面试前想好一些学校存在的不足，这样更说明你对学校做过细致的研究）

H: I think the main problem is we don’t have any scholar who conduct
research in your area, but Dr. AAA does focus on marketing.（当时听了很失望啊,
9 W: x9 D( N9 X" V我当时就赶紧弥补了一下）

1 H' \& }; L: p& L* mM: I contacted with Dr.AAA, his research interests include the history of branding, rather than seting up models.

H: You are right, but we do have many people doing modeling in our
% V- {5 m+ w* }- y/ V& rdepartment, they can help you in the future. We usually assign two
supervisors to a phd student, one of them shares research interests
6 @1 Q# w  _4 U/ Swith the student, the other may not be in the field of your
research…(开始介绍学校的导师制度什么的)

H: great! You know what, we expect each phd student publish at least 4

one….(4个论文发表，疯了！)

- Q+ p) G. K+ S; W5 }% i2 d! n这个时候慈祥老奶奶突然敲门入场

9 v- s2 R8 m, w* e  H
最后就握手再见了，后来还给报销了路费和饭费 

面试一共40多分钟，专业问题问的很细致，我觉得自己准备还是不充分。个人认为要准备主要是这样几个地方：



$ r, L* @2 ^# D+ }1.        以前学过的课程

2.        PS里面的内容，最好能背下来部分重要环节，省的像我还要现回忆

3.        research proposal里面的内容。这个是最核心的，整个面试，大多数的问题都围绕这个进行

4.        对学校的综合考虑，要能说出自己为什么来这里，觉得好在什么地方，有什么问题
4 [8 p1 {, c" g  S& |* h7 b7 [
5.        准备几个出彩的问题，最后让对方印象深刻！
2 P+ q; A/ B) {- Q1 Q+ m2 c
% o& ^3 S* `; h! o- q6.        心理和语言。面试不用紧张，老师都很和蔼，可以穿插些轻松话题，活跃气氛。

虽然很老，呵呵，但很有用哦。
尤其是对正在准备面试的我来说。
