Chapter 54: Interview for the Research Institute (Part 1)

　　 Xu Qiu returned to the bedroom, only Tao Yan was there, and Ren Bin went home not long after the holiday.
　　 "Xu Qiu, have you seen the e-mail sent by the counselor Yu Qiang." Tao Yan said.
　　 "I haven't read it yet, is it about the arrangement of the interview tomorrow?" Xu Qiu said.
"Yes, tomorrow’s interview will be divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon. In the morning, the postgraduate students from other schools and the postgraduate students from our school in the afternoon. The three majors of our school are interviewed separately. I will be in the conference room on the third floor of the first floor of the materials. , The materialization seems to be in the Advanced Materials Building, wait for you to confirm it yourself.
Tao Yan said:
　　 "By the way, how are you preparing for the interview."
　　 "Do you need to prepare?" Xu Qiu said.
　　 "It is said that during the interview, I will ask about the content learned in the material professional course, so you can prepare in advance." Tao Yan said.
　　 "It's too late to hold the Buddha's feet temporarily," Xu Qiu said:
　　 "Anyway, I haven't fully returned the professional knowledge to the teachers. I guess they will also ask some conceptual or common sense questions. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with it."
　　 "I don't know this anymore," Tao Yan said with some distress:
　　 "The content of this year's professional courses is okay. I didn't listen to many of the courses in the previous three semesters, so it won't work without a surprise."
　　 "Okay, then you continue to assault, I'll check the mailbox." Xu Qiu said.
　　…………
　　 Turn on the computer and check the counselor’s email.
　　 The interview will take place tomorrow in the conference room on the second floor of the Advanced Materials Building. It will start at 1:30 in the afternoon and the interview order will be arranged according to student number.
　　 Because Xu Qiu's student number is relatively high, he was arranged for the second interview.
　　Relatively speaking, those who are ranked behind for the interview will have certain advantages, because they can get some useful information from the students who finished the interview first, such as:
　　 The general format of the interview, which interview teachers are there, and what questions are generally asked.
　　 Although interview content is not allowed to be disclosed in principle, it is difficult for the department to prevent students from communicating privately.
　　 There are a total of 25 places for undergraduate research in the Department of Materials, including direct Ph.D., professional masters, and science masters. It is tentatively allocated to 10 materials physics, 9 materials chemistry, and 6 electronic science and technology.
Although there are only 9 places for 　　caihua, there are 11 people on the interview list.
　　 Xu Qiu is puzzled, is there a difference in admissions in the department?
　　 He thought there might be some news from Tao Yan, so he asked him:
　　 "Did all the students who submitted the application for the postgraduate study have been interviewed? There are 11 interviews in Caihua, but there are only 9 places."
　　 "I saw this too, so I asked Fang Guangwu, the deputy head of the admissions department," Tao Yan said:
　　" He said that considering that there are foreign students in the department, this interview only screened out students who did not meet the school’s rigid regulations, that is, students who did not have a grade point of 2.8 or who had failed subjects.
　　 But at the time of admission, the grade points of the students who applied for the postgraduate study in each major are still admitted, from high to low. The interview results are only related to the priority of the postgraduate type. "
　　 "Oh, I get it, international students do not occupy the quotas in the department when they are undergraduates, so there may be a few more places for graduates in the end," Xu Qiu said:
　　 "Students ranked 10th and 11th in terms of grade points will have a chance, so they are all called for interviews, otherwise they will be admitted at that time, and another interview will be arranged for them."
　　 "It's almost like this. Fang Guangwu said it was vague at the time, but what I meant from his words was this." Tao Yan said:
　　 "And I guess, those students who have a strong desire to study for graduate school or who have very good interview scores, the operation of the department, will definitely be able to create one or two more places for them."
　　 "I think so, the internal department is still relatively easy to operate." Xu Qiu said.
　　 "By the way, have you checked the score?" Tao Yan said:
　　 "I heard that the GPA rankings are based on last Friday's grade points in the department. That is to say, courses that have not scored until last Friday will not be included in the GPA results."
　　 "I checked it a few days ago, and only four of the six courses were offered, a total of 8 credits, two B+ courses and two A courses. This semester GPA is 3.65," Xu Qiu said:
　　 "However, it is an average of the previous grade points, and the total grade point has basically not changed much, from 3.46 to 3.47, an increase of 0.01."
　　 "Haha, my grade point is 4.0 of 14 credits this semester, and now the total grade point has been pulled from 2.98 to 3.10." Tao Yan said triumphantly.
　　 "It's so fierce. Mainly, I have already taken more than 120 credits now. Even if the remaining courses are all A, the grade point will be added up to 0.05, and there is no motivation to charge." Xu Qiu said.
　　 "This semester scores, most of them are to go abroad to apply for a better school or to get a full prize. Although foreign countries may not recognize domestic results, but at least they look good," Tao Yan said:
　　 "I look at the rankings. This semester's materials plus I have three full grades, and a few 3.8 and 3.9, but I may only get the grade point for the purpose of undergraduate research.
　　 Fortunately, Zhou Mathematics' "Material Preparation and Processing" was released late. Once that course was released, it was estimated that many people's grade points would be below 3.7. "
　　…………
　　 In the afternoon of July 28.
　　 Xu Qiu and many other students majoring in materialization arrived in advance in the meeting room on the second floor of the Advanced Materials Building~EbookFREE.me~ and waited in the corridor outside.
　　 Since they are all students of the same major, even if there are not too many intersections, at least their names can still be remembered, so they greeted each other when they met.
　　 Two or three girls gather together, and most boys act alone.
　　 The teachers in charge of the interviews also arrived one after another.
　　 The first person who came is Zhou Mathematics teacher. His office is in this building. You can just take the elevator down directly. He greeted his classmates and entered the conference room.
　　 Following him is one of his graduate students, Ji Zezhong, who is in charge of doing student work here.
　　 After a while, the counselor Yu Qiang also arrived. After encouraging each student one by one, he walked into the conference room.
　　 Then, several more qualified teachers arrived one after another.
　　 Finally, Xu Qiu saw Teacher Wei.
　　 Teacher Wei is also one of the interviewers, and today she is wearing a formal suit, carrying a briefcase in her hand, and nodding towards him.
　　…………
　　 1:30 in the afternoon.
　　 Ji Zezhong holding the roster in his hand, shouted:
　　 "Yi Sijia, is Yi Sijia here?"
　　 "I'm here." A petite girl came out and responded.
　　 Then, she and Ji Zezhong entered the meeting room together.
　　The other students couldn't see the situation inside, so they could only stare at the door of the conference room and wait patiently.
　　 After almost twenty minutes, Yi Sijia came out.
　　 After a few steps, she was surrounded by her best friends and asked her about the interview.
　　 Unfortunately, Xu Qiu didn't have a chance to hear anything.
　　 "Xu Qiu, is classmate Xu Qiu here?"
　　 "Yes." Xu Qiu replied.
　　 He took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the meeting room.
