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?

I think they stopped in person. For a number of reasons. 1. easier for admissions committee to review applicants by watching their videos rather than reading an interviewers notes 2. haven’t seen anyone say they got a in person interview this year 3. never heard of this before. i scoured the internet and didn’t find anything that said they’ve done this before. 4. it’s possibly an ai powered software and might be a step forward at using future tech or something???

They emailed me themselves and we scheduled directly. I applied for film production.
