Had a casual chat about my PhD topic with my supervisor and the grad admissions director. It was pretty thorough and in-depth, focusing on questions about my proposed material and background. It lasted around 30-45 minutes. You should totally be ready for critical questions, but it's pretty standard stuff.

It was a station-based interview with about 5 questions total. The questions were pretty average, not too hard to answer, covering some scenarios and personal stuff. Overall it was fine, but it was back in early COVID times in 2020.
