longhornfan09 i guess the worst thing to say would be that you have no idea why you want to go to this school (they will definitely ask you this question)

the worst thing you can do is to be late, dress poorly, and/or act incompetent

binkybear1001 the worst thing to do is show disrespect. that means showing up late, dressing poorly, or being rude.
It's not going to kill you if you show up to the interview knowing very little about the school. It won't help you, but it's not going to kill your case. If it's an on campus interview you can always say you wanted to spend the day on campus to find out the exact answer to the question "Why do you want to go here?"

nameless1 Don't be bitter and act like someone forced you to apply to this school or act like you would rather not be there.

Schmivy Don't be arrogant. Not that I've done any interviews yet, but I think if you're an arrogant jerk they'll remember that.
