You can expect questions that deal with those five areas. Prior to your interview, it would be a good idea to think about situations where you showed good leadership, motivated someone, how you handled a conflict in a group setting, what professionalism is to you and how you show it, etc. They also want to assess your communication skills. Can you put a sentence together and get your point across?

By getting an interview there is something on your application that they like. It's up to you in the interview to sell yourself. They know you are a good student on paper, they just want to make sure you can succeed in their rigorous program. They don't want to accept a student who is going to fail out before Christmas.

One more thing, after your interview, don't ask how well you did or what your chances are of getting in are. It drives me crazy!
Thanks for the interview tips, Pong! Let's hope I get to put your advice to use.
