At every interview I have been to so far it seems like my interviewers have not even looked over my information... They don't even have a clue about my file it seems.
Keep reading different interview feedbacks and you will see which schools have open and which have closed application interviews. Some schools will have one student interview that is closed and a faculty interview that is open. it varies and nailing it down generally isn't going to help.

Many interviewers simply don't have time to delve deeply into the file. Some do read everything, but others don't open it until 5 minutes before the interview. This is what I've seen from personal experiences.
My interviewer from UMDNJ actually mentioned a phrase I used in my personal statement. So, some know your file very well.
Same here my interviewer knew a lot about me before hand.
Based on my interviewS so far, some do some don't.
Not true. My interviewer at NYU mentioned how she had gone over my file prior to the interview and asked me questions related to it.
Do you think it might also be by design? i.e. if they read the file before hand they are going into the interview with some bias or preformed opinion?
