虽然中国地区的学生通常不会主动申请面试，但是如果接到面试邀请，十足准备必不可少。

Prepare specific questions.准备好问题

面试官通常会期望你问一些关于学校的问题，谈谈你想要进这个学校的原因。多花点心思为面试准备些有创意的问题，当然前提是这些问题无法轻易在官网找到答案。

Dress to impress!穿对衣服

你无需正式到要穿舞会晚礼服，但是当然也不能穿比基尼牛仔裤!通常来说，最好的着装是简单干净的连衣裙，深色的裤子或半身裙，平整的衬衣，再搭配合适的鞋子。让自己看上去是认真搭配过，风格协调一致的。

Practice like a prizefighter.面试前得多练

面试也是一门技术活，需要通过练习来掌握技巧。邀请你的家人、老师或是朋友问一些他们认为最好的大学面试问题。诚实认真的回答这些问题。再问一问这些“面试官”们如何评价你的回答。在每一次面试之后你都会有所进步，所以不妨合理的安排下你的面试顺序，把你最最喜欢的学校放到最后。

Be yourself…做自己

要记住，你是否能被认同(或者说愉快的在一个学校学习生活)关键在于你和学校的契合度。想展现真实的自己，那就通过面试来看看你是否真的合适。在面试前思考下为什么这个学校会吸引你?你想要在这里学些什么?你将来毕业后可能会做什么?

…but be your best self.做最好的自己

你有很多面，那就展现你专业、成熟、沉着的那一面。不要轻易表现的松懈下来，好像穿着舒服自在的衣服刚从沙发上爬起来一样。保持微笑，面试官和你一样希望面试可以愉快的进行。

Stop worrying about the clock.

大多数面试时间控制在半个小时到一个小时之间。学生往往被告知时间久意味着面试的好。但是在校面试的时间安排往往非常紧凑一个接一个，而校外面试通常由校友来完成。校友们都有自己的工作，所以你的面试时间很可能非常紧张。如果你发现面试官在看表，那也没有必要担心他们觉得你很无趣。

Watch your body language.注意肢体语言

确保你自己没有在座位上坐立不安，更没有满屋子乱跑，这么夸张。如果你只是轻微的移动下手的位子，或是在听问题的时候点点头，那这些肢体语言就足够了。活跃过度往往会有反效果甚至让人留下不好的印象。

Be thankful.记得感谢

面试结束后，记得给面试官发一封感谢邮件。让面试官知道，面试中有哪些方面帮到了你。如果你和面试官有共同爱好的书、相似的经历、或是其他让你们有联系的地方，记得在邮件里写出来。最后，不要忘记继续表达你对这个学校的兴趣，以及感谢面试官抽出时间给你面试。
