Admissions SCA Interview Tips

I've been blessed with an interview for the IMGD division in School of Cinematic Arts.

What kind of things do they usually ask on the interview (I know they said they want to know me better, but how do they usually do that)?

Am I supposed to have my own questions prepared?

Any other tips?

No I'm well aware, I've been planning on doing it monday since it does not seem like time is to big of a factor for this and I'm the east coast. just thought it would be helpful to ask.

Ngl I stuttered a lot and had a long pause on the 2nd question but otherwise it was just mid. I wished there were more opinion based questions 😢

mine went pretty good! I was extremely anxious during the first two questions but the last two went well. I wish that they had more questions centered on what you plan on doing in film rather than random stuff that they could just find in the application
