Yes, I interviewed at a few schools that I did not think would be a good fit after having visited. The first had a lot of illogical rules and a very sketchy vibe to it.
The second was one of the top schools in my state, and I was very excited to be called in to interview.
When I interviewed, however, the faculty interviewer was rude and self absorbed, and the student interviewers spent the entire allotted time complaining about the school and dropping f-bombs at eachother. Glad I got in elsewhere, because I couldn't see myself fitting in there.
There were a few others that had less than impressive interview days as well, but to much lesser degrees. So the moral of story: remember that the interview really is a two way street, that the school should be trying to impress you just as much as you are trying to impress them, and above all fit is everything.

Does anyone actually dislike a school they interview at?
