本科,mm,CS,THU->UPenn

//我不确定是不是大tt，感觉满像的，应该是吧。

我说不上今天的形势怎么样。我进去的时候看见有4、5个人在Window 10等着，其中包括
wrj。从我开始排队到我签的过程中，只有三个F1模样的人签完，一个mm，两个gg。三个人
都被纠缠了很久，最后mm过了，两个gg很沮丧地走了下来。

我拿的是绿牌，在厅里靠右的位置排队，我们站的位置只能看见6-9号窗口VO, 这几个VO都是
给你充分时间解释的那种，签一个人要签老半天，我感觉我要是碰到他们应该问题不大吧。
突然，工作人员跑来把我们绿色小队领到了左边的4号窗口。走到那儿才看见4号窗口的VO，
居然是又高又壮的秃头！这不就是传说中的大tt吗？晕！不是吧？那么背？我心里顿时一
黑，觉得自己可能凶多吉少了。这下倒是把心里的石头给放下来了：快把我签了得了，这次
据了我拉倒，下次我再来好了。

我看见tt拿起了贴着我照片的DS表，我很平静地走了上去。问题的具体问法和顺序我记不清
了，大概是这样的：
ME: Nice to meet you, sir.
VO: Give me your G & T score reports.
ME: Here you are. Do you want my transcript?
VO: Yes.
//VO开始狂敲键盘。我也不想跟他主动搭话，就在那儿干站着。
VO: How many universities did you apply?
ME: ......
VO: How many accepted you?
ME: ......
VO: Which universities gave you financial aid?
ME: blahblahblah
VO: Computer Science. What of CS are you working on now?
ME: Actually we undergrads don't have speciality. We just cover all the
basic knowledge of all areas in CS.
VO: Then what specific area of CS will you work on in US?
ME: I'm most interested in Data Mining.
VO: Data Mining. What can that be used for?
ME: Data Mining is to analyze some complex properties of large sets of
data. It aims to find out useful information from large sets of raw data.
For example,...
VO: Did you apply to any Chinese university?
ME: No.
VO: Why?
ME: I am already in Tsinghua, the best university in my major in China. I
just...
VO: Why not continue your study in Tsinghua?
ME: I just don't want to spend nine years in the same university,'cos I
need new environment to refresh myself, to learn new things. I just want to
get myself a better education opportunity.
VO: Why did you choose UPenn?
ME: Its CS department is really great and it's especially strong in Data
Mining which I am most interested in. And actually it was the ...
VO: Who will be your advisor in UPenn?
ME: I don't have an advisor yet. In fact all the students don't have
advisors until the second year. It's the...
VO: What will you do after you graduate?
//这时他终于不敲键盘了，并把脑袋向我凑过来，睁大眼睛死盯着我。我们俩的双眼 //距离
不足10厘米。
ME:
//切！用这种招术吓唬我啊？你盯我我就怕你啊？我也故意睁大眼睛死盯着他，微笑、 //眨
眼、抬眉，一幅极为真诚的表情(说实话，我的确是很真诚的，我费力准备的计划 //一定要
说给他听！)并抑扬顿挫地说
My first step of goal is to find a senior technical position in a software
company in China, like...
VO: Why not work in US?
ME://ft，我准备了这么久的计划你就只让我说一句啊？何况还有further step呢！晕！
//算了算了，看在这个问题也是我精心准备的份上，回答你问题吧。
'coz I do think the chance for my personal success is much greater here in
China. It's much easier for me to get high position here. I want to...
VO: How do you know you can get this job in China?
ME://ft again, 又只让我说两句？我准备了一大段的呀
When I graduate, I will have strong technical background. I ...
VO: What will your salary be?
ME: About 20k per month. I believe I can lead...
VO: You computer guys easily make money in US!
ME: Money is not that important to people like me for whom money'll be no
problem in the future. I believe China is the only country which can give
me a future which is rewarding both in money and sense of success. I gotta
say that...
VO: Heng heng(冷笑了两声). So many CS guys go there and never come back!
Do you know why they don't come back?
ME: //ft,问这种杀手问题？只有硬着头皮上了
I am not sure what they are thinking about.But I am definitely among
those...
VO: Heng heng(又冷笑了两声). You certainly don't know what they are
thinking about. But%$^^%#@*~!*&^(大概又说了一遍你们CS的人过去了就在那儿工作，不
回来) //他又开始敲键盘
ME: Heng heng(我也用鼻子冷笑了两声)
//他这么corner我，让我怎么回答？还好他又转过去敲键盘，没想再听我说下去。我也 //没
什么话好说了，索性给他heng heng回去
VO://开始用左手在我的DS表上涂鸦，简直看不懂写的是什么
//态度突然变得极其友好，和善地对我说
*&!~@#%$^_#~! background !*#&^$!... (大概就是要check的意思)
ME: How long will that be?
VO: Several weeks. We will call you. You see, you have filled in your phone
number here. Then you don't have to pay or make any appointment again. Just
bring this one(蓝条) here.
ME: Thanks.

罗罗嗦嗦写完了。下面是几点感受：
1.这个VO说话很快，而且他总不对着mic说，speaker里很不清楚。而且不停地打断我，每
个问题就只给你两三句回答的机会，就马上炮弹似地发出他的下一问。而且对什么东西都极
其不屑，一幅不管据你还是让你过都要让你很不爽的样子，一幅快点快点把你问完我还得问
下一个的样子。
2.我也感觉这个VO确实是在面试你之前就决定要不要让你过了。问你问题只是例行公事，走
个过场而已。虽然他对我也不友好，但是在谈话的过程中我感觉他还是一开始就想让我过
的。因为整个过程他一点都不专心，老在敲键盘，根本就没在听我说话。而且每个问题只让
我说两三句话，我都还没回答清楚呢，他就都明白了？而且最后都问到我杀手问题了，居然
还没据我？
3.我也搞不懂究竟什么方向是敏感。搞了半天Data mining是敏感方向？我还从没想过我会
被check。
4.签完了出来，我才发现他并没问我"Do you have any relatives in US?"。因为我姐在
美国念书，我在DS表上都如实写上了，我还以为他会在这个问题上纠缠我，我还准备了半
天。结果居然提都没提？难道兄弟姐妹在美国读书的没问题？只是工作的会有问题？不明
白。

一点搞笑的事：我签完出来，一个大妈塞机票代理的广告过来，我摇摇头示意不想要。可能
我当时表情比较严肃吧，结果大妈在我后面大声嚷嚷了一句“姑娘，别灰心！下次再来！”
顿时旁边所有的人都向我投来怜悯的目光。晕！
