Hi,I have an admissions interview to a MSFE program next week. Is this just going to be a chat or do these usually have math questions? It's only 20 minutes long and I don't believe that the person conducting the interview is a professor.

It's partly a sales session. The admission office knows that candidates who interview in person have a higher chance to accept their offer than candidates who do not interview in preson. So your "interviewer" is a proud alumni who wants to sell you on how good his school is, and you are like the used car shopper.

Well, it's a telephone interview, if that means anything.
