What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

not much. I think I did fair amount of research before the interview.

It was in better neighborhood than I expected. The interviewer was a bit traditional unlike I heard from other people. When I talked to the students at the PCO , they told me that my interviewer is the only one who asks very formal questions.
