What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They can re-interview you if there is a major discrepancy between your committee members (they must come to a consensus. This happened to me and I had to have another interview later that day with a whole new committee to get "another perspective and some input" to supplement the first interview.

What are your general comments?

I felt that this was an overall pleasant experience, and it was clear to me that all involved were making an effort to overcome many of the negative things that they have been known for in the past. My interviewers were receptive enough to smile when appropriate, but were not overly nonchalant. The panel experience is really not as bad as you might imagine.
