So after we did the written stuff, they sent me up to the top floor of the Hall of Justice to meet with two senior DAs. Apparently, I was one of only like twelve people who made it this far. They asked me if I had any spots I preferred to work in and what my favorite externship assignment was from last semester.

It was a pretty typical interview, mostly based on what's on your resume. The interviewers were nice, but they really listen to what you're saying and can tell if you're not being straight with them. Make sure you're ready for them to ask more questions based on what you've already told them.
