Berkeley Interview

I have an interview with Berkeley regarding my application to MFE. Does anyone who has been through the process have any suggestions on what to expect? Is any part of it something that I can prepare for?Thanks

They put a lot of emphasis on people skills. Technical skills are on your resume already, by interviewing you they want to see if you are focussed and a nice guy. They also check your fluency in English - the first MFE class had a lot of non-English speakers which recruiters did not like to see.
