What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"There was a group interview in the morning; how the students are chosen for admission; who was accepting a student. general comment- I received a rejection letter after the interview, at which point I accepted at my second choice. 3 weeks later, I got an email saying I was at the top of the waitlist. The director blamed it on the secretary. Ridiculous error given that the pool of interviewees is so small at that point. Absolutely frustrating and unclear what really happened. " More from this Member | Report Response

"not to over-prepare. And that there would be so many other applicants interested in working with my POI. " More from this Member | Report Response

"as much as you feel that the program is a great fit for you and you did great in the interviews, you will probably still be rejected" More from this Member | Report Response
