If you're applying to graduate school, expect an interview. While interviews aren't a required component of all applications, be prepared for the possibility. As admission to graduate school becomes more competitive, admissions interviews become commonplace.

Think about it: if you attend a particular program, you'll work very closely with a faculty member for several years. It's no wonder that faculty want to meet potential students -- and you should meet them for the very same reason. Do you really want to commit to working with someone for the foreseeable future, without meeting him or her beforehand?
