How big is it if I didn't answer one question in a 27 min interview with the PD completely or answered it not that great or just wrong. How badly would this hurt the overall interview and chances of getting ranked? She didn't say if the interview was good/bad but the other 2 openly seemed happy with my answers... I mean am I just thinking about this too much? i'm someone that likes to know how I'm affected if I didn't do something right.. don't mind me. Total interview were 3 x27 interviews and everything else was great.

How big is it if you didn't answer a question? Like you just stared at her and refused to answer? That'd be a big deal.

Or you gave a bad answer? Not as big a deal.

Or answered it wrong? You mean like they asked you a medical question and you got it wrong, or you answered something entirely different from what they asked? How is this different from a bad answer? I cant comment about this scenario because I'm not sure what you're saying here.

27 minute long interviews? That's oddly specific.

I'm only sort of clear on what you're asking, but I don't think it matters. No one here can read the mind of the PD and know how she will weigh a non-response, bad response, incorrect response (?) by an applicant. I think you need to practice some grounding techniques and consider you may be acting a little neurotic right now.

If you had three 27 minute interviews, that's a total of 81 minutes. Assuming this debacle lasted 3 minutes and you received zero points for those minutes, that would mean a reduction of 3.7% of your interview score. Interviews are worth 24.3% of your total score. This means you have reduced your total odds of matching this program by 0.8991%.

Note: this reduction in matching odds is peanuts compared to what would happen to your chances if a program were to pick up on this level of neuroticism.
