许多美国大学的研究生申请程序中都包括视频面试或视频申请的环节,但视频论文不是所有学校的标准部分。一些学校可能会要求额外的视频材料,例如视频自我介绍或解释特定问题的视频。我们厚仁在2024年申请中,给很多国际学生做了video essay培训,总结出一些经验提供给明年申请研究生的同学做参考:

首先,为什么研究生申请需要video essay这个辅助:

  1. 综合评估申请者的沟通能力和个人魅力: 视频论文可以让招生委员会更直观地了解申请者的沟通技巧、表达能力以及个人魅力。通过视频,招生官可以观察申请者的语言表达、肢体语言和声音语调等方面。

  1. 了解申请者的个性和独特之处: 视频论文提供了一个机会,让申请者展示自己的个性特点、背景经历和独特技能,这些在传统的文书材料中可能无法完全呈现出来。

  1. 评估申请者的适应能力和创造力: 通过视频论文,招生委员会可以更好地评估申请者在面对新环境或挑战时的适应能力和创造力。申请者可以通过视频展示自己解决问题的能力、团队合作经验等。

  1. 区分申请者: 在竞争激烈的研究生申请中,视频论文可以帮助招生委员会更好地区分申请者,突显那些在视频中展现出的独特品质和潜力。

虽然不同的学校和项目对于视频论文的要求可能会有所不同,但通常来说,一个成功的视频论文应该做到以下几点:

  1. 清晰表达思想: 视频论文应该清晰地传达申请者的思想和信息。避免模糊不清或含糊其辞的表达,确保观众能够明白你想要表达的内容。

  2. 展示个性和独特性: 视频论文是展示个性和独特之处的好机会。通过个人故事、兴趣爱好、成就或挑战等方面展示申请者的个性和独特性。

  3. 保持专业: 虽然视频论文可以展示个人魅力和个性,但也要确保保持专业。注意服装、语言和举止,展现出你对申请过程的认真态度。

  4. 与申请相关: 确保视频论文与申请的项目或学校相关联。可以讨论你对该项目的兴趣、你为什么适合该项目、你的职业目标等内容。

  5. 良好的制作质量: 确保视频的制作质量良好,包括清晰的画面、良好的音质、适当的长度等。避免模糊不清的画面或声音、摇晃的相机等影响观看体验的因素。

  6. 吸引观众注意力: 在视频论文中使用吸引人的内容和视觉效果,以吸引观众的注意力并使他们对你感兴趣。

回答video interview时候,一般题目类型分为:

1.解决困难类问题

2.性格展示类问题

3.操作某项技能类问题(比如计算机专业问写码,商科问建模分析)

4. 兴趣爱好类问题

5. 对于学校和项目了解程度问题

不管哪一类问题,咱们学生在准备时候,务必都需要准备一个回答思路框架,去各个击破。举个例子,最常见的解决困难类问题,可以使用以下框架去组织自己的答案:

  • Introduction: Begin by briefly introducing the situation or challenge you faced. Provide context to help the viewer understand the significance of the challenge.

  • Description of the Challenge: Describe the challenge you encountered in detail. Explain the circumstances surrounding it, including any obstacles or difficulties you faced. Be specific and provide relevant examples to illustrate the challenge.

  • Your Response: Discuss how you responded to the challenge. Highlight the actions you took to address the situation and overcome obstacles. Emphasize your problem-solving skills, resilience, and determination.

  • Outcome: Share the outcome of your efforts. Explain how your actions led to a resolution or positive outcome. Reflect on what you learned from the experience and how it has shaped you as a person.

  • Reflection: Conclude by reflecting on the experience and its significance to you. Discuss any lessons learned, personal growth, or insights gained from overcoming the challenge.

 根据这个框架,咱们可以给一个回答template:

Introduction:

“During my sophomore year of college, I faced a significant academic challenge that tested my perseverance and problem-solving abilities.”

Description of the Challenge:

“I was enrolled in a demanding engineering course that required a deep understanding of complex concepts and rigorous problem-solving skills. However, halfway through the semester, I encountered unexpected health issues that resulted in several missed classes and falling behind on assignments. This put me in a precarious position as I struggled to catch up while managing my health.”

Your Response:

“Despite the setbacks, I refused to let the challenge defeat me. I immediately reached out to my professors to explain my situation and ask for extensions on assignments. I also sought help from classmates and formed study groups to review missed material. Additionally, I made adjustments to my schedule to prioritize self-care and ensure I was taking care of my health while still meeting academic commitments.”

Outcome:

“Through perseverance and determination, I was able to gradually catch up on missed work and regain my footing in the course. I dedicated extra time to studying and sought clarification from professors whenever I encountered difficulties. Ultimately, I was able to successfully complete the semester with satisfactory grades, despite the initial setbacks.”

Reflection:

“This experience taught me valuable lessons about resilience, time management, and the importance of reaching out for support when facing challenges. It showed me that even in the face of adversity, with determination and a proactive approach, it’s possible to overcome obstacles and achieve success. This experience has shaped me into a more resilient and resourceful individual, better prepared to tackle future challenges head-on.”

所以,最终不管video essay要求怎么变化,和题目怎么变化,咱们培训的学生一定争取在有限时间内,给到研究生学校一个辩证并且流利,并且准备充分的回答。
