2019 IC 面经
面试一共6个题目，包括第一题是自我介绍，要拿着government-issued ID保持20s，15s准备1min作答。其余四道口语都是30s准备1min作答。楼主考到的written部分大概是在一次networking上遇见了这个项目的校友，自己会如何自我介绍以及start a conversation。口语部分题目记不太清楚了，大概类似于课外的团队合作之类的题目，专业类的问题是innovation in finance会对average investors产生影响吗。自己准备对时候基本搜集了CD上见过的大部分题目，但还是要说一句真的面试的时候时间真来不及，一分钟回答感觉很仓促，特别是写作，没写多少字就自动提交了，凉凉。

5. 心仪公司给了你拒信，如何reply
好了我是个智障。。。突然发现上面的是practice的题目【捂脸】
下面是正式面试的
1. attributes that make you highly employable after graduation
2. an experience of leading project with tight deadline, how did you motive your teammates
3. why choosing this programme
4. writing: 给校友写信，想进他们公司
5. 专业：recommend a company for investment, why
1. Tell me about yourself.
这个问题看起来很简单，但是回答起来可没有那么容易。你能用简单几句话就把你的一生都概括了嘛?而且不能用"I'm friendly" 或者 "I'm a good student." 这种陈词滥调回答。当然你可以说自己很好相处，很用功，但是还要说一些引人注意的，跟其他申请人都不一样的东西。比如说你是学校里憋气时间最长，你特别喜欢某样东西，或者你收藏的东西与众不同等。
2. Why are you interested in our college?
回答这个问题的时候要具体一点，可以展示你做的研究。不要说"I want to make a lot of money"或者 "Graduates of your college get good job placement." 你必须强调对知识的渴望，而不是对物质的追求。你可以说说你面试的这所大学跟你考虑过的其他大学具体区别在哪里。
3. What can I tell you about our college?
你要保证面试的时候，有机会去问这个问题，而且是经过深思熟虑的问题。不要问"when is the applicationdeadline?" 或者 "how many majors do you have?" 这些问题都能在学校官网上找到答案。想一些有探索性的，突出重点的问题。比如："What would graduates of your college say was the most valuable thing about their four years here?" "I read that you offer a major in interdisciplinary studies. Could you tell me more about that?"
4. Who in your life has most influenced you?
面试官可能换个方式问你：Who's your hero? 或者What historical or fictional character would you most like to belike?如果你没有考虑过这个问题，一时回答不上来，气氛就会很尴尬。找一些你比较欣赏的人物，真实人物，历史人物，或者虚拟人物都可以，而且要准备阐述欣赏他们的理由。
5. Why do you want to major in______________ ?
你要知道，申请大学的时候，你不需要确定非哪个专业不学。如果你的爱好很广泛，反而会让面试官对你很感兴趣。在学习一门专业之前，你要学的东西还有很多。但是，如果你已经说了更倾向某个专业的话，那你就得准备好回答为什么了。千万不要说选这个专业是为了赚更多的钱，你对专业的passion会让你成为一名好的大学生，但greed不是passion。
6. What will you contribute to our campus community?
回答这个问题的时候要尽可能显得自己独特一点。如果回答"I'm hard-working" 这样的陈词滥调根本吸引不了面试官的注意。仔细想想自己身上有什么特别之处，有什么特点能够让学校更多元化。
7. Tell me about a challenge that you overcame.
这个问题的目的是想了解你解决问题的能力。当你面临挑战，会如何处理?大学生活充满挑战，学校要确保学生有能力去克服。
8. What do you do for fun in your free time?
别说“出去找乐子“，虽然学习不是大学生活的全部，但招生人员也希望学生在不学习的时候，能够做些有意义的事儿。喜欢写作?徒步旅行?还是羽毛球?回答这个问题的同时，还可以show出你的兴趣爱好。
9. What do you see yourself doing 10 years from now?
当面试官问到这个问题的时候，你不必假装已经断定将来一定会做什么。很多学生上了大学，完全不能确定自己将来的职业。但是，面试官就是想看看你有没有事先考虑过这个事儿。你只需要诚实一点，敞开心扉的说出自己的想法就好了。
10. Does your high school record accurately reflect your effort and ability?
这时候就是解释你成绩为什么比较差的时刻了。但要小心回答这个问题，你也不想遇见一个满腹牢骚，只会抱怨客观原因的人吧?如果你真的有什么特殊原因，一定要告诉学校。
11. Recommend a good book to me.
这个问题看似简单，其实面试官可以得到很多讯息。首先，回答这个问题，就可以看出来你是不是喜欢读书;其次，当你阐述这本书为什么值得读的时候，就能看出来你鉴定能力;最后面试官得到一个值得看的书名。
12. If you could do one thing in high school differently, what would it be?
如果你只是一味地说特后悔做了某件事的话，一点都不会给自己加分。要保持乐观的态度。也许是一直没有机会去尝试的表演或音乐，或者是一篇差点上了校报的文章，又或许是为了对将来找工作更有帮助学个小语种。回答这个问题的时候，要表现出那种岁月匆匆，你根本来不及涉猎所有感兴趣的东西。
今年2018年申请的管理专业面试题目大大缩减了题量，主要集中在两个问题上：Why you fit in this program and how this program will help you in your career?（回答限时2分钟）；Define a big problem of our times. Explain why this problem is big and propose some solutions for this problem.（回答限时3分钟）。题目少了，不过大家可以看到内容万变不离其中，主要还是想听听你对这个专业和职业的理解，还有你的全局观和解决问题的能力，音频录制面试的好处就在于申请者可以有时间充分的准备。
UCL的另一个专业MSc Telecommunications with Business也是音频录制面试的形式，接到面试通知后同样收到一个面试系统的网页链接，进到网页之后会看到overview页面看到面试题目的数量，选择record就可以开始答题。历年的问题集中在：
1. 在学校学过什么专业相关的课程，是否有本专业相关实习，拥有什么相关技能？
2. 什么是Internet？
3. According to CISCO, there will be 50 billion ‘things’ connected to the internet by 2020. What are the implications of this trend towards the internet of things for the way mobile networks are designed and operated?
下面稍微讲一下视频或者电话一对一面试，比如剑桥大学MPhil in Advanced Computer Science课程就是skype面试的模式，会有一位学术面试官和一位记录员一对一的进行交流沟通，skype面试的模式一般分为两部分破冰开场白+学术面试题，首先是寒暄自我介绍，问问为什么选择剑桥的理由，热身完毕然后就开始专业问题了。What is a pointer and the advantage of using pointers？另一个问题是问学生学过什么search algorithms？在回答的过程中面试官还会和学生进行互动，比如中途就问学生能不能说一下什么是A* search, 之后讨论一下学生的project proposal，对supervisor有没有什么特殊要求等。
