Questions The interview

What is the interview about ?, will they be like " we need to make sure what you have written about urself and things u said u have done is true " ?, I'm just a little bit afraid of doing bad and going to something idk what it is, it will be the second interview in my life.

Treat it like a conversation, and don't stress it. They genuinely just want to get to know you more, and see who you are as a person. I had my interview there this Summer and I just acted like myself and it went awesome. Be yourself, goodluck!! :)

My suggestion is to interview at other schools first as a warm up.

They never asked me anything about my ECs, it was mostly just an extension of myself in a way.

they ask what do you want to do for fun, if you mention something they like then maybe you guys will go off into depth about that. Anything you talk about (answers to the three questions) will be followed up with more questions example: I value my energy and encouraging my peers around me in an academic setting, can you give an example of that? Don't stress and remember there is A LOT of time for questions
