What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Many applicants wished they had known more about the structure and content of the interview day ahead of time, including the specific activities and timing involved. They also highlighted the importance of receiving an itinerary in advance to better prepare for the various components of the interview process.

(online interview day) I had a later interview day in late February and there were only two other interviewees. The day consisted of two 20 minute interviews, a writing assignment, some interviewee group work (work as a group to answer a prompt, and work as a group to defend a silly prompt in a debate), and a presentation about the school. They give an itinerary of the day ahead of time so you know generally the timing of the events of the day.
