Anyone applied for the 1st round got interview invitation?
I just received it today, and it seems that the interview will take up to 45 minutes. Not sure what will be asked. Any past interview questions to share?
 
My interview (and from what I know most/all interviews are the same) was basically asking about my background and motivations, and career goals. Also a little bit of discussion regarding whether to do the program full time or part time (I chose part time, but was asked if I was thinking of doing it full time - not sure what the intent of this was)

You can also search this forum for past interview experiences. In general it is a conversation about your fit with the program.
 
My interview takes about 10 minutes...
And..
1) How do you know MSCF program?
2) What you gonna intend to do with your master degree?
2-1) Will you get a job in US?
3) Any questions?
4) Other schools you applied..
4-1) How did you decide to apply those schools?
And go back to 3) again.

The interviewer, Richard, was very kind and witty anyway. :)
