<p>raskoalanikov, the interview is not meant to be intimidating and while the format is one applicant answering questions posed by a panel from the department, they respond well if you can relax and treat it like a conversation. Students do dress up a bit. Business attire is recommended. I remember when my S attended ExploreUSC, the morning of the interviews there were many young men in suits or sports coats and young ladies in blazers or dresses.</p>
