What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could have skipped out on a lot of the tour and rhetoric bs.

What are your general comments?

It wasn't a bad interview by any means. The first interviewer was a 3rd year student who obviously hadn't looked at my file. She stumbled around a bit, and I think I caught her on a few "things" she should have known if she even GLANCED at my file...The second interviewer was a faculty member. He was a bit more organized and to the point. Both were very low stress and conversational. Being out of state, I was not surprised to be placed on "Hold" only one week after the interview...
