2.八婆加强版面签问题及建议回答
3.八婆版科哥出品study plan
另外小广告一下,做了一个关于出国的问答网站,不管是对于已经申请完的同学还是对申请结束的同学,应该都会比较有帮助。目前在内测期,短期内会上线公测并将少量邀请码放到我的校内(http://www.renren.com/profile.do?id=272640732)上,欢迎各位围观^_^。如果到时候能上去帮忙回答些问题啥的,就算是答谢我这篇八婆版面签总结吧。
--------------------------------------我是帅气的分割线-------------------------
今天签完了,小总结一下吧。其实没啥好说的,现在F1拒签率太低了,整场就没见过一个学生被拒的,只有个板着脸的大叔因为缺了啥材料,所以被拒。整场哦,300多个人哦,有木有哦亲!!! 顺便说下,今天王宝强小朋友也在签,跟在我们屁股后面。我是第一次在北京见明星哦,亲!!!不过他女朋友现场观感远没网上传那么好看…远不如俺妹子就是了。
需要准备的东西:(针对PHD,MS同学自行增减)
学位证
毕业证
成绩单
户口本
GRE成绩单
Toefl成绩单
admission letter
offer letter
I-20
签证申请费收据
I-901SEVIS收据
护照
照片
DS 160(电码一定要写哦,如果不明白的一定要去大使馆网站查清楚哦)
program介绍
两个导师的介绍
project的介绍
个人简历
合影
买文件夹
黑色签字笔
注意事项打印
研究/学习计划
Thesis:毕业论文样本
Emails:选了几个告诉我acceptance和offer的
然后准备了40多个问题,一会附在后面。
需要注意的问题:
1.一定要注意,带好水和食物,如果能约早上的就早点去,提前半小时到就可以。你约的时间************是你能进去的最早时间,你要迟到点也是可以的,跟什么时候见签证官半毛钱关系没有,所以有可能等个5个小时,比如今天我就是这待遇*******
2.手机啥的带上吧,寄存非常方便。
3.别带妹子或者男盆友了,他们在外面会等抓狂的。
4.进去以后会先去交你的DS160,注意上面要贴你交900块钱的签证费收据的第一联,就是绿色那个。如果不知道怎么贴的话,去大使馆网站详细读读。
http://chinese.usembassy-china.org.cn/niv_student.html
5.交完那个DS160,你会被分到一个组里,一个组6个人,千万注意跟紧队长,不然他甩了你你就挂了!!!你们必须一个组一起按手印,签证啥的。今天就有个同学没跟紧,然后直接挂了,在那可悲桑了….
6.对着VO的时候,我估计都会有点紧张。答问题照简单的回答,别想啥复杂词汇,脑子里白折一片的时候你会后悔的。。。。
流程:
1.到那,进了门,注意,你踏上的就是美利坚合众国的领土了。然后排队吧。一路都有指示。
2.给门口的人看DS160,确认你是那天签证,他会在一个表格上找着你的名字。
3.寄存手机。背包通过安检可以带进去。不要相信门口的“不许带包”,可以带的。。。别背个蛇皮口袋太招眼就成
4.存完进去交160表啥的,这个时候就是找队长的时候了,要千万注意。
5.按手印。外国人都非常非常和善,你按着他们说的做就行了。
6.面签。然后给你条,条后面有地图,告诉你怎么去邮局办寄送。
7.领回手机,办寄送。
我以及前面后面几个被问的问题:

感想:
好好准备就行了,没必要苦大仇深甚至找中介的。最坏情况基本就是check你(如果是敏感专业的话),拒的情况已经不多了。(问了下安排窗口的大叔,说现在基本不拒学生了)。
----------------------------啦啦啦 -------------------------------
40问,感谢北航的冀晓楠师姐,来自于她的校内:
1. What will you study in the U.S.?
说出自己将要学习的专业和学位,可以拿出提前准备好的此专业的课程表以及要上的课程,简单介绍一下,可以说跟自己以后的职业范围很相仿和接近。如果签证官顺便问你以后的职业就可以直接跳到职业规划上来回答。
2. Why do you want to study in USA?
a.从美国的教育体系出发:质量高,授课方式特别,小班授课,有利于自己提高自己的能力。
b: 从美国的经济体系出发:
比如商科:美国的金融、市场等体系发达,在美国能得到最latest的相关的知识和信息来丰富自己。
c:从自己的专业出发:自己心仪的这个专业在某某某大学,这个所大学又在美国什么州,所以要去美国,而且这所学校里的某某专业(自己要学习的专业)怎么怎么好 。
3. Why do you choose this university?
a: 从学校的特点出发:例如排名好(总体,专业),师资力量雄厚,历史悠久,气候好,地理位置好适合学习。

c:从以后的职业规划出发:以后我的打算是回国做什么什么,学这个专业会对我以后的职业有帮助
7. How long will you study in USA?
按照I-20上的时期来说,如果要学习语言的话就把专业的时间加上大概三到六个月读语言的时间。
一般研究生是1到2年的时间,如果牵扯到学习计划的话就说一下专业性的东西,比如说要学习哪些课程,课余打算做点什么,临近毕业如果有可能的话就进行实习之类的plan。
Check the I20
Study plan
8. How many universities did you apply, how about the result?
一般情况下,硕士申请是5所左右。
博士申请是8所左右
至于结果实话实说,如果实际上没有录取你说录取了,签证官要录信看你就傻眼了。如果别的录取的学校有奖学金的话就更要提及,以此表现钱对于你根本是不成问题的case。
5,reveived 3 AD
9. Have you any scholarship?
实话实说
如果没有的话,要提及一句,虽然没有奖学金,但是谁谁谁给我准备,提供了足够的钱让我去美国读书,钱不是问题。

10. What’s the difference between the education of China and USA?
说一下美国教育的好处就可以了,不要刻意的说中国教育哪哪不如美国。

Cs
Course flexible
关于将来计划等
22. What is your plan? What will you do after graduation?
此题包括study plan 和回国计划,其中回国计划为重,可以从short term & long term两方面说,一定不能说到任何有关在美国继续呆的打算的话语。
General 回答的框架
Long term:5到10年以内的目标梦想(例如创业)open up my own company
Short term:2到5年以内的回国打算(例如将在某公司做什么职位)big company of my uncle be a technicon

如果转了专业就可以从一下入手:A 否定之前所学(不适合自己,并非否定这个专业),肯定将来要学。B 以前学的对以后所学有补充作用。C 当时高考选专业时的种种无奈,没有选择自己所爱。D 但是在大学期间任何渐渐对所申专业产生了强烈的爱好。
almost the same
关于家庭问题
26. Who will you support your study?
没有奖学金的话:就说是父母资助的,然后谈一下准备了多少钱(存款证明),父母的任职情况及年收入(先说收入更高的),按照收入证明上的内容来说。
有奖学金的情况:全奖的话就按具体情况说好了,是TA 或者RA,或者减免学费之类的。如果是给了部分奖学金的话,就先说学校给了多少奖,然后在说家里会提供剩下的资金支持,谈谈父母的收入情况。思路跟之前的差不多。
27. How much money will you spend for your study?
I-20上有,如果是读两年的话就乘以二。然后可以像前面那个问题一样说一下资金支持情况,说明自己有足够的钱来支付在美国的学习费用。(假如前面的问题已经回答过了,在这里就不要太细说了,大概说一下即可)
28. What do your parents do?
跟前面的差不多,先说收入多的一方;如果有一方开公司的,就先说开公司的一方的情况。一定要记得出示相关的材料。
29. How about your parents’ income?
也跟之前的差不多,但是除了说收入钱,也要说一下其工作单位和职务。

31. When your parents will retire?
一般是没有退休,所以说事实就可以了。
如果真有退休的一方或双方,根据收入证明上的来说即可。因为这种情况会在开始的时候就设定好了思路去准备收入证明。
32. How many children in your family? What do they do?
如无特殊情况就照实说。如果有特殊情况,如:有兄弟姐妹已经出国或准备出国等,一定要跟你的顾问提出来,由他们来判断你的说辞是否会有影响。

Study and Career Plan
Introduction of My Background
I'll receive my bachelor’s degree this July from Bei Hang University. My undergraduate study in Bei Hang University led me to the fantastic world of software, and my experience of working as a researcher assistant assured me that I would like to explore the cutting edge technologies of computer science, especially to help people deal with problems coming along with the information explosion by developing personalization techniques. I built a recommender system module for news browsers on Sohu.com by applying methods I learnt from research papers. That system can recommend news to users with high probability that they might like. I gradually found in the process that my interest and passion is to use knowledge of computer science to build real and cool algorithms and combine them with real online applications, like the one I built for Sohu.com.
My Career Objective
There are more than 120 million users who use Internet frequently, and the market is huge compared to other countries. My ultimate intention after receiving my Ph.D. degree is to grasp this great opportunity to establish my own company, with the technologies I gained in Rutgers. Before that, I would like to work for Microsoft Research Asia, Baidu, or Google China as an engineer or research scientist in order to gain first hand experience of managing and building the most advanced Internet product which can properly fit the needs of Chinese users.
Why Rutgers
First of all, my interests match with my mentor well. We both believe that only search engine is not enough, and we are planning to build personalized search engine to help people locate their information needs more precisely. Also, his experience as co-founder of ASK.com assures me that he is an experienced expert who knows how to use algorithms in academia to build real and big online service for users in industry.
Second, Rutgers is a great University in U.S., especially in the field of Computer Science. In the past few months, I began working with my mentor remotely, and found that resources at Rutgers are abundant. For example, Super-Computers and computer clusters are accessible by students and even without time limit.
Last but not least, the environment at New Brunswick is fantastic. It is not as a big city as New York or Chicago, but its peace is suitable for long time reading for me. I am sure with the good environement and enough scholarship, I can successfully earn my degree and come back to China to chase my dream.
Mentor
Professor Apostolos Gerasoulis
