The thing with interviews is to remember that they are not your enemy. If you fail, then the worst scenario is you have to enroll at another school. It's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world. So remember it's not life or death, and just do your best.

If it is likely to revolve around the essays, then just make sure you know your subject. It might just be to prove that you wrote them, and know what you were writing about. Interviews are mostly about confidence, show them what you are about. Keep eye contact, not in a creepy staring way, but make sure you look interested when they tell you things, and make sure you direct your answers at them, and not at the floor, or a desk. They are more likely to warm to you if you act like you're happy to be there. They will expect people to be nervous, so don't panic about it, everyone is in the same position that goes through the acceptance process.

Good luck.

Okay here's what you do, relax. I know that's the most BS rule in the book, but it holds truth. I talk to adults a lot and I watched how my Dad socialized and I kind of got that idea through his actions on how to act around superiors and equals. First off, sure they may be your superior in this scenario but just be sure to address them as such. I don't mean you act like some prep prick with a college fund, just give respect where respect it due. One thing I do when I'm around adults to break the ice and make things a little more comfortable about talking is ask them about their career. This usually leads to their degree, school, study habits, all sorts of things about the past. Thing here is that the two of you have an equal ground, you were both students at one point. You both stressed over homework, had quirky friends, and that one worthwhile moment of your career. Opening up a portal to the past brings out a sense of who they were, a more informal person. Establishing equal ground is going to be your best ticket in this scenario because it makes you more comfortable and it makes talking to the interviewer less awkward or frightening.
