在冷空气把气温逼近零度的同时，哥伦比亚大学却格外热火。把它推上爆点的是王力宏和李云迪两位男神，两人在同一天，以同样的语气公开女友。更重要的是，两位拿下男神的女孩都是哥伦比亚大学的美女学霸——王力宏女友李靓蕾正就读于哥大研究所，李云迪的女友也毕业于哥大金融数学系。
王力宏与李云迪同天公布女友皆为哥大学生后，一夜间“校友”在留学生中炸开锅。殊不知，鑫泉学生在美国面签时也遇到校友，简短提问，立马签证成功。一切好运随着鑫泉伴她圆美利坚合众国之梦。

【案例申请回顾】
涂同学在英国读完一年半A-Level后，成功申请到UCL大学。四年半的英国生活中，喜欢看美剧的她，在看完“暮光之城”、“贝拉的魔法”、“速度与激情”等影片后，愈发渴望再去美国那个摩登、朝气的国度度过人生中的硕士时光。
美国申请跟英国有什么不同呢？申请硕士需要准备些什么材料呢？面签大概都会问些什么问题呢？虽然这个英国名校生曾经经历过一次留学申请，仍然在此次的美国申请时心中存在诸多疑问。回国后，为了保证自己申请到心仪的学校，了解诸多留学中介，最终选择了凭借申请实力取胜的鑫泉留学。
一、在这里为大家科普一下美国研究生与英国研究生的三大区别：
第一，学制不同
美国硕士为两年，是修学分的，一般硕士是30-40个学分，学生如果能提前修完学分即可提前毕业，比较灵活。
英国硕士为一年，一般总共修8-9门课，每门课程成绩合格，完成论文方可毕业。
两者对比起来，去英国读硕士的压力相对大一些，一年的时间学生需要在很短的时间内适合环境并完成学业，这对于学生的学习能力要求是非常高。
第二，入学要求不同
申请美国硕士一般都是需要提供GRE或者GMAT成绩，学校录取时除了考查学生的大学成绩外更加重视学生的综合能力，因此，PS是一项非常重要的申请材料之一，而英国学校录取主要参考的是学生的学术背景，包括比较院校及平均分，PS只是辅助材料。
英语水平方面，对于不提供双录取的美国大学，学生在递交申请时必须提供合格的语言成绩;而英国所有的大学都是可以提供有条件录取通知书，即学生在没有任何语言成绩，但学术成绩达到入学要求的情况下申请学校是可以被学校录取的。
第三，奖学金
美国提供更多的奖学金给学生，而且奖学金相对比较容易申请。英国比较少学校提供奖学金且比较难申请到。
二、针对美国研究生申请量身定制申请材料写作方案
申请材料准备过程中，文案老师多方面采集涂同学信息，妥当完成后迅速投递到所要申请的院校。一个月不到的时间，学生心仪的UIUC下发了录取通知书。此刻文案老师又亲自给学生进行签证前辅导。
三、与签证官恰巧是“校友”，顺利下签毫无悬念！
面签时，幸运之神再次光顾。面签官问学生，“你毕业于哪个学校”“UCL”“哦，太棒了，我们是校友”。于是，一个大大的“YES”立马给予了学生。
以下再附上我们为大家总结的美国面签一般会被问到的问题汇总，俗话说知己知百战不殆。希望我们的总结能对你在美国面签时有所帮助。提醒同学们在面签很有必要先搞清楚签证官大概会问答哪些问题，事先准备好这样你的签证就容易的多。
