After the interview at St.John's for Engineering...

I had my interview in St John's at the beginnning of December,
applying for engineering I had two inrterviews in the college,
a general one and an academic based one.

The general one was very relaxing and enjoyable,
where the professor informed me that the other interviewers
would ask me the "interesting questions".
I expresed what I liked about the college,
how my childhood has influenced me.
However she did made me think for some of the questions,
like "Do you thiank we are ignorant about are technological advancement?"
"Why do you play badminton?".

The second one, I had two professors asking me questions,
quite informally, they asked about my work experience,
followed by asking me whether they could ask me some Maths questions.
(Why, of course not, don't you know how nervous I am?)
I solved the Implicit Product Differentiation question,
which had a twist, that I was fortunate enough to spot,
Followed by a Mechanics question regarding
a pulley with a particle on a slope.
After that they asked about my interest in a specific area of engineering.

Looking back now, and comparing with classmates,
I'm worried that I only got two maths questions,no Physics question,
and only two compared to some eight quesiton my friend endured.

Well, I guess there's no point worrying.
Hope this anectode provides some indication of what interviews are like.
