What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview really was an interview and NOT conversational as so many had said.

What are your general comments?

They were nice for the most part -- but really did ask questions that are tailored to you. Make sure that you take a personal assessment and look at your weakness and prepare for that, because they will probe the chink in the armor to see how strong it is. They will also pair you with an interviewer that has a background similiar to yours in either experience or interest if possible (i.e. my background was in physiology and was paired with a Physiologist)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
