首先,我想说明一下,我这次是第一次F1面签,之前上网+问过签过的的同学问的什么问题并对其做了十足的准备。然而这次面前问的问题与大多数人被问的问题都不一样!全场improvise正确而流利地回答了所有问题!. check 1point3acres for more.

背景简单介绍: 2017 fall,Stony Brook University, PhD in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, T.A全奖,国内某较为出名的985高校本科大四数学专业(签证当天在读,即将毕业), TOFEL 29+25+22+28=104 GRE 152+170=322
ME: Hello!-baidu 1point3acres
VO: Hello! How are you?//这是VO在整个面前过程中第一句语气友善的话,也是最后一句!
Me: Fine!//原谅我下意识说出了如此小学课本的回应..
VO: How old are you?
ME: 21.
VO: Please give me your passport and I20.
ME: Ok.//然后我就给他了我准备好的I20和护照,之后他没问我要I901收据,后来我发现是我夹在I20里面一起给他了但我当时没意识到。
VO: Have you been the US before?
ME: No.
VO: So why are you going to the US?
ME: To study the PhD program of applied mathematics and statistics in Stony Brook University.
VO: Why do you choose Stony Brook University?
Me: Because it ranks very high of applied mathematics and statistics.//这是我的原话我记得很清楚,当时说完就觉得怪怪的,不应该用of,用in还好点,不过这点语法错误应该没什么问题
VO: Give me your CV or resume, study plan, or the relative material.
(到目前为止,都没什么问题,都是正常交流。然而以上也是正常问答的结束,接下来,这个VO看了我几眼之后,开始对我展开了恐怖的追问模式!而且绝大多数问题我之前全部没准备过,以下是我的当场improvisation!)
VO:(语气突然加速并变得严肃)Applied Mathematics? What is that? What does “applied" mean?
ME: (愣了一下)Basically, er..solve the realistic problems by building mathematical model.

VO: Now you are in XX University(我的本科大学)?
ME: Yes.-baidu 1point3acres
VO: How can you prove that? Have you graduated from XX University?. .и
ME: No. But I will graduate very soon. The commencement will be about 8 days ago(语误)..sorry, 8 days later.
. .и
VO: So you are still studying mathematics in XX University..google и
ME: Yes. Do you need to see my studying certificate(在读证明)?
VO: (没鸟我,认真地看我的CV然后突然)Quantum Stochastic Statistics?(我大三时参加的一个seminar) What is that? What does it research on?
ME: (震惊,完全没预料到会问我CV里本科的那些水水的科研经历)Er.. Forecast the small particles' movement by mathematical ways.//原话,也是实话 ..
VO: So you will study applied mathematics. How will you use the applied mathematics?//仍然是非常快的语速,整个improvisation环节VO的语速都非常快
VO: What are you going to do with applied mathematics?
ME: (卧槽?怎么尽是问这种学术性问题?脑子里飞快旋转确定我不可能短时间内想出一个合理地学术性解释后)Er.. we haven't got an advisor. According to the rules of the university, we are supposed to take the courses in the first and second year and then select an research advisor after the second-year study. So I haven't decided yet.
VO: (沉默了大概5秒钟)
ME: Do you want to see my program introduction?//考虑到VO可能再次问我专业上的问题,我就想着要不给他看项目介绍算了. check 1point3acres for more.
VO: (没鸟我再次5秒钟之后)OK, your XXX is XXXproved.(由于前面吓尿了,这里没听清,只听请一个proved的音节). Take this paper(黄单)back, see you!//后来经过我爸提点,应该是approved,通过了
我今年是周岁21未满22,但是由于皮肤太好太白,长得太..可爱?而经常被周围的人觉得我是个初高中生(强调,我是男的)。总之就是长得太年轻,挂着一张连21岁都不像的娃娃脸!VO看到我之后第一个问我年龄,然后看我的I20上的专业。我托福分数不低,I20上英语能力写着是student is proficient. VO 显然是不太相信我的长相符合年龄,也因此怀疑我是不是真的有大学本科的能力以及I20上的英语能力,于是以较快的语速问了我一堆学术相关问题来验证我是否真的有能力出国读应数博士!
