"The interview is way converstaional if you take control and make it that way. Talk about anything, from the Des Moines area to what you ate for lunch; Take anything they throw at you and go with it and you will do extrememly well. In the course of my interview, I was asked about three serious questions and the rest was completely conversational. They really try to impress you with the school and don't want to ruin the day by grilling you with absurd questions. " Report Response
