The interviews weren't bad at all. I didn't get too many difficult questions. Be prepared to explain everything on your application. The interview day was REALLY long too (9 a.m.- 5 p.m.). Also, the way they conduct their acceptances is disappointing. They put most of their applicants ''on hold'' til March. Only a few people are given straight acceptances.
