Rigorous, they quiz you thoroughly and want to see how you think. Gave me graphs and data to explain. Written tests, and "think-on your feet" skills. They asked a variety of questions about why I was applying for this cours in particular and what attracted me to it (it's breadth and depth of teaching, basically).
