Honestly, the interviews can be SO different! Some ppl just casually talk to their interviewers, but some almost get grilled. I, for instance, got asked about a book that he had recently read. Fortunately I just started to read that book a few days ago, so I came up with a few acceptable answers. Then he started to tie the book to my own background and asked me to interpret several elements and themes. And then we talked about 1984, so bascially it was kinda like an English class. But I really enjoyed it, and that’s my only advice for you: Enjoy your interview, because your interviewer will be able to discern that. Don’t get frustrated if you can’t answer a question, just try to work through it. You really can’t predict what your interview is gonna be like, because it really varies a lot.
