聯招改選及大學面試講座2013年 5月 2、 3日

這次改選的重要性：7 月 15 日文憑試放榜後，只可更改其

中 5 個課程選擇，並更改 20 個選擇的次序。

大學會按此在放榜前邀請同學面試。因此，今次要小心選擇。5 月 21 日截止。每次改選前，需付港幣 80 元。

選科的準則：自己報考的科目符合學科入讀要求；最有興趣的科目；較少興趣但估計成績容許自己入讀的

科目；朋友推介但自己從未考慮過的科目。把有興趣的學科都放在 20 項選擇上，

再把有面試機會的放在較前位置。

放一些比較安全，而你認為以你的成績可以進入的學科。

大學收生以成績為先決條件，會把學生依照成績排成一隊，由第一名的開始，把他們放進他們的 A1 選擇中。若他們所選的 A1 滿了，就進了 A2 ，餘此類推。若你的成績本來足夠你入讀你最心儀的學系，但沒選到，就後悔莫及。

個案

改選原則： 多手準備； 20 個課程選擇需包括： 各間院校的心儀學系； 夢想學系（港大、中大、科大）； 收生成績中游的學系（城大、浸大、理大） 保險的「水泡」學系：收生成績較低，但你仍願

意入讀的學系（嶺南、教院）； 副學士課程。

港大、中大、科大須放 Band A ；城大、 浸大、 理大須放 Band B ，

一些收生較低， 如廣泛學科可放Band C ；

嶺南、教院可放 Band D 、 E ；副學士課程放 Band E 。應多放需面試的學系！

Say how you can contribute to the faculty/ department/university in these aspects

Show YOU match the programme & university

(Interview is a matching game after all)

Things to Avoid During Interviews

Important Reminders

Always answer “This is my first choice of study programme” when asked by interviewers

Frankly admit questions you have no knowledge of. Don’t make up ‘great answers’ or even bluff

Ask for clarification or repetition when not understanding something. Don’t be a yes-man all the time

Answer in appropriate length. Neither give just yes/no response nor a very long speech

Show you’ve prepared to study the programme

Don’t hard-sell so detailed (interviewers may have viewed your JUPAS reference/essay)

Use examples to illustrate the vague terms such as ‘self-confident’, ‘extrovert’, etc

Elaborate how the ECAs help you train up abilities or skills relevant for the study prog.

Treat interviews as natural conversation, NOT prepared speech

Make yourself interesting!

Closing the Interview

Ask sensible questions when prompted by interviewer.

Show your genuine interest by asking insightful questions about the special features or recent/future developments of the department, or study/careers prospects

Don’t ask time-consuming/very grand Qs Thank the interviewer sincerely at the end
