"You do a quick interview with someone on the admissions staff. No big deal but make sure you know what is on your application. Then there is a group interview.

I think the biggest trap here is that it is actually so laid back that you feel like you can say anything funny or quirky, but when I thought back on it there were some things I wish I hadn't said (They asked me were I would take them if they visited me at school and I said tailgating, but apparently a lot of people associate tailgating with binge drinking when I was thinking more of hotdogs and tossing the football around)."
