<p>going into the interview, how much does the interviewer know about you?</p>
<p>from what i’ve heard, they aren’t suppose to know anything. this way they aren’t influenced to think a certain way about you, and have an open mind for the interview.</p>
<p>They know your name, phone number provided, and e-mail provided. Maybe a little more, but that’s basically it. They have no knowledge of any of your actual achievements or your application.</p>
<p>My interviewer told me that all she knows is my name, phone number, email, and school.</p>
<p>Same as above-- all they know is school and contact info. For me it was a little jarring since my other interviewers came prepared with questions. Just be ready to talk about yourself.</p>
