Interview for MPP admissions?

[VeryCheesey]

Hi, 

I just received a mail from UCSD GPS that they want to have a Skype interview with me in the coming week. 

Now I have never had an interview in my entire life, and as I am an engineer applying in public policy, I am really not sure as to what I should expect. Moreover, the admissions information on the University website doesn't indicate much either.

Anyone willing to share their experience/sample questions/tips for handling these interviews? Also, any idea what the implication of the interview instead of the direct admit is?

At UCSD GPS the interviews are basically informal language tests to make sure international students didn't cheat on their TOFEL. They just ask basic questions about your experience and so on, or so I hear. I wouldn't worry about it or prepare much for it.

Ah, that's a relief. Thanks!

Any other universities known to conduct interviews for MPP?
