Hi congrats!
Apart from what heard above, HEC is one of the best B-Schools in Europe with no doubt. I will try also in the future to get into it. Really you should be proud.
Well for what I know and researched from other schools admissions the interview is normally on 3 subjects:
First one they ask you why you've choosen the school and Master. I guess really knowing the school and the program shows them you've done research, linking your abilities and ethics to the school values could be really good too.
Second they normally ask about your background. Trying to measure your financial knowledge or work experience, since HEC aims for an international class I would prepare myself reading lots of international news, plus, since French people are, let's say, like really proud of themselves and their nation (This is my opinion, pls I don't mean to offend anybody) I will review their news, politics, business activities, etc.
Third is about goals. What are your goals, I guess not only in your career but in life, they have to be realistic and affordable, and mentioning how the school can help you will be great.
This is what I will prepare in my opinion, I hope it helps you and who knows maybe we get to see each other I will send my application in March (Haven't taken my GMAT yet :s )! Good Luck!
