Don't be afraid to ask a bunch of questions to current students. They WANT to help you! Don't worry about the writing sample question...just write. Case scenario isn't bad at all, actually had fun with it. Just be able to support your own opinions. Other interviewees were very sociable and friendly. I had a really good experience here!
