She was a chemistry professor but she didn’t ask me any science related questions, if that’s what you mean by that. The “other things” were questions that elaborated what i wrote in my essay. She also asked my how many siblings i have, how i like my school, and what were my favorite classes. In the end, she gave me an overview of everything that she would write in my essay and she didn’t include everything i said. I don’t think they have a set list of questions that they are going to ask you. It’s just like a discussion, you never know what topic you’ll end up on.
I’m not really sure about your last question, but I would assume that since they are going through the trouble of writing an essay on you, they would atleast send your application to UMDNJ. Then UMDNJ decides who they will call for an interview and they don’t call everyone.
I hope that helps. Don’t worry about the interview too much, it’s really not a big deal. I know you’re nervous and looking for help, I was the same way.
