He didn't ask me any of the typical, general standard of questions which I was expecting and had prepared for (i.e Why did you apply to this program? uni? etc..). It was a bit odd some of the stuff we conversed about that had no bearing on my major and getting into politics and whatnot.

I had a similar experiance and don't think I could realy have prepared for my interviews. One was an informal interview where the tutor seemed more concerned selling the uni to me than asking me anything (UCL) and the other was purely subject related questions (Oxford) and not much talk about why i choose the degree or uni. I guess the tutors are more interested in your knowedge of the subject and finding out about you than your actual reasons for coming.
