<p>1) make sure when you are naming schools, they are the ones similar to the one of your interview.. or else the school of your interview will look like a really random choice and something you don't really have interest in. my interviewer didn't really ask specifically what schools, but more like what schools in terms of geography. i told him i wanted an urban environment (which is true) so i'm applying to boston, nyc, dc, chicago (which is also true).</p>
