答：学校对于我来说是一段精彩的人生经历。我实在喜欢新思想、专心学习、留心听课。我从来都不相信在考试前一晚死记硬背以争取高分或通宵达旦以完成一篇毕业论文是最明智的做法。我确信自己就像许多争取好成绩的学生一样学习刻苦。
如果已经进入面试阶段，适当的做法就是使自己符合这个职位的基本标准，包括教育方面的要求。在这里，面试官往往试图判断应聘者处理困境的能力。千万不要辩护或推卸责任，这是非常重要的。相反，尝试从正面的角度来回答这个问题——例如，集中于你学到的东西和所付出的额外努力，这样做要比只集中在成绩上好得多。
Q:Why werent your grades better?
A:School was a wonderful experience for me. I really enjoyed learning new ideas, I studied consistently, and I was attentive in class. But I never believed in cramming before the night of an exam just to get a higher grade or staying up all night to finish a term paper. I really believe I learned just as much as many students who went for the grades.
问：为什么你当初决定主修历史呢？
答：这是个艰难的抉择，因为我也对管理学、国际关系学和经济学感兴趣。但是，学习历史让我可以把三者结合起来，特别是通过对经济史的研究。另外，我知道我系的几位教授知识非常渊博，极具影响力。
证明你有充分的、合理的理由选择你的专业。如果你不能为自己的专业选择辩护，面试官就可能怀疑你对职业选择的考虑是否充分。你还要肯定选择专业的理由跟你的职业选择相符合。比如，如果你应聘银行经理职位，就不能说你是个英语专业的学生，因为你喜欢文学和写作。
Q:Why did you decide to major in history?
A:It was a difficult chocice because I was also attracted to government, international relations, and economics. But the study of history allowed me to combine all three, especially by focusing on economic history. Whats more, I found several of the professors in the department to be exceptionally knowledgeable and stimulating.
