    It's usually pretty conversational. In my experiences they just had me talk about myself and what I like doing. It's pretty fluid.

    The two required parts from my interviews have been this:

    1. Do you have any questions about _______ University? This is a good time to ask them about their experiences in college.

    2. Why do you want to attend ______ University? This is a good time to show off your knowledge of the college.

    Make sure you have an answer to these two questions in advanced

    I had an interview as USC, and besides the usual "tell me about yourself" and "why do you want to go here" questions, they asked me some tricky ones like what i wanted to major in and why, what would i like to change about my high school, tell about something you went through where you have to make a difficult decision...

    good luck!
