根据今年已去参加过面试的学生反馈，一般平均会被问到四个问题左右，可以分为以下几类：
一是询问要去的美国学校和专业信息，比如Which University will you go to? What’s your major? Why do you choose this major?
二是问过去的教育背景，比如When will you graduate from your current school? Where are you studying now?
三是询问父母相关信息，这类问题本科生被问到的几率较大，比如What are your parents’ jobs?/What do your parents do?
四是询问留学资金来源，比如Who will support you in America?/Who will pay for your education?
五是了解考试情况，比如How about your SAT?/TOEFL?
六是了解出国史，比如：Have you been to America before?/ Why did you go to the UK?
其他常被问到的问题还包括：Why do you want to study in America? What do you want to do after graduation?等。
研究生面签还常会被问到导师情况，这个问题去年尤为突出，好些学生被签证要求出示导师的简历。还有的人被问到具体的专业分支。
艺术类专业学生被问到过欣赏的艺术家是谁，还会被要求简单介绍下作品集。
