第三方面试Initialview真题分享

美国大学本科申请已经进入关键阶段，除了必要的申请材料和网申系统填写、文书等内容之外，最近有不少学生和家长咨询有关第三方面试的问题。要知道美国大学在本科新生的申请人数动辄成千上万的情况下，是很难给大多数的同学安排面试机会的。在这种情况下，如果同学对自己的英语水平有自信，认为自己的交流和表现能力很强，希望学校能更加立体地了解自己，那么自己主动的给学校提交一下面试视频也是一个不错的选择。

InitialView面试和Vericant面试是目前比较常见的第三方面试。两者区别明显：InitialView会把视频先发给学生看，学生可以评估之后再决定是否将面试其递送给学校，以及要递送给那些学校。Vericant面试不会在面试后将视频给学生看，而是在学生添加递送学校之后，直接将视频发给学校。另外InitialView不做评分，仅仅是把视频和写作发给学校，Vericant是有评分的。在有选择的前提下，美国大学本科的申请者往往会更多地选择参与第三方面试InitialView。今天我们就给大家带来关于InitialView面试的满满干货，分享一下三位同学参加InitialView的真题。相信大家看过之后一定会大有帮助，对InitialView有更加直观清晰的了解。

最后要注意的是，自己的面试视频出来之后，一定要仔细的回看，看是否有明显的缺陷，是否有重新面试的必要，在有条件的情况下可以找专业老师进行评估。评估之后再挑选一个回答最好的问题进行标注，一旦标注之后不能修改。在学校审核时间有限的情况下，给学校提供一个可以优先观看的视频片段。“Select your one “notable” question. Choose carefully! once you have selected a notable question, it cannot be changed.”

总体来看，InitialView面试的过程更像是聊天，面试官通常会根据对话的进展来即兴提问题。但还是有些重要的问题经常提到，比如：自我介绍；过去遇到的挑战；课外活动的具体细节；未来的目标；为什么要来美国上学等等。最后一定会被问到的是：你还有什么希望补充的信息？

在15分钟左右的口语面试结束之后，还会有一个20分钟的命题作文。同学们也要认真对待，要跟平时的写作水平保持一致。写作的题目非常随机，大家有兴趣的话可以关注后续文章或者联系小编。
