<p>As an deferred EA applicant, I can speak somewhat knowledgeably on the interview questions. First off, interviews are NOT required. They are only available by request. I have been told they are only a small factor in admission, so therefore not requesting one is not a deal breaker. Interviews, however, can be useful for you and the University. I was extremely nervous about mine, which was over the phone due to certain circumstances. The insight the alumni provide is amazing and I recommend interviewing for all.</p>
