How did you prepare for the interview?
Read up on the school, reread my personal statements.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Try to get a feel of the area during your tours. Many of us got lost on our way to our second interviews.
What are your general comments?
Both interviews are closed-file and in the afternoon. The morning is basically an introduction from the dean, student panel, lunch, and then tours.
Interviewers can be mixed. My first interview was a little more quiz-like and interrogatory, and the second was very laid back and conversational. I talked to other interviewees who had seemingly more critical or opinionated interviewers.
