Ok...not trying to be mean...but how do you get this far in the process without knowing this? They tell you it at like every single school.

I've gotten that far in the process, and I didn't know either until I read the replies to that same question asked by a few other accepted students in another thread. I interviewed at seven schools and didn't hear about it once. I think this might have to do with Texas schools, where everyone receives their acceptance at once (Feb. 1) and not much movement is expected after that.
