What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview is completely blind; my interviewer didn't even recieve my name ahead of time. Make sure you have thought of specific points you want to cover.

Everyone I spoke with, even those students not being paid by the admissions office, were really happy to be there. They liked the campus, their professors, and their classmates. Even those people for whom it was not their first choice had no regrets.
