目前，金融专业的申请是颇为激烈。为了挑选到合适的学生，除了要求学生提交要求的申请材料外，许多学校都会有面试这个环节，尤其是排名好的学校一般都会面试。
Ohio State University的SMF专业是一个竞争激烈的申请项目。L同学本科专业金融，成绩优异，GPA3.9+， TOEFL100+，GMAT710。11月中旬提交了OSU的SMF项目网申。12月下旬接到OSU面试通知，面试时间定在1月底，有一个月的准备时间。
面试辅导是由出出国资深专家指导，根据往年的面试经验和新的面经，专家为L同学分析讲解答题思路。经过几个小时的讲解，L同学清楚如何回答，将答案逐一写出，后又稍作修改。接下来的工作就是强化模拟培训，经过几次模拟训练后，L同学已经能自如的回答提问了。
为了显得对这次面试的重视，专家建议L同学穿正装参加面试，可略施粉黛。面试当晚，气氛很融洽，面试很成功。分析原因有三：
1、 对于面试题目准备很充分，心里有底气;
2、 L同学有两年多在美学习经历，口语非常棒，是一个加分点;
3、 L同学和面试官谈出了共同感兴趣的话题，聊的很开心。
以下是L同学OSU面试的题目：
Other Universities that you've applied for? And did you get any notifications from them?
2. Tell me a time when you set a goal and accomplished it?
3. How do you balance between you being a leader and being a member?
4. What do you want to improve for your leadership in Fisher College?
5. What do you think of the relationship between a manager and the people who report to him/her?
6. What is the most charitable thing that you have done?
7. When did you decide to pursue SMF?
8. When did you decide to choose corporate finance as your concentration?
9. How do you improve your weaknesses?
10. What do you think of the commitment of diversity affects corporations and other organizations’ "bottomline"?
最后的结果也是可喜的。如果按一般情况来讲，OSU是面试4周后出结果。而L同学在面试后第五天就收到了录取通知，又再次证明了这次面试打动了录取委员会，因此顺利拿到了录取和一定量的奖学金。在这里，祝贺L同学圆了自己的留学梦！
