a few uncomfortable moments with an unfriendly admission office staff.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
File review toward the beginning of the day turned out to be an actual part of the interview when it was conducted by the admission office staff (not a faculty interviewer). I say this because the actual one hour interview did not include anything from my academic file.
