What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

interviewers have only read your personal statement and have not seen the rest of your file; you either interview in the morning and tour in the afternoon or vice-versa, it seems that you could make up an excuse why you need to do one or the other if you want. Also, it is possible you could find out that you are interviewing only a few minutes in advance.
