Is this school not receptive to updates? This is what the supplemental completion email says: "Please note that once your Supplemental Application has been submitted, you will no longer be able to add and/or edit your application. In addition, the Office of Admissions and Recruitment cannot add and/or edit application information or components on your behalf."

Interview was extremely pleasant. They send out a "dashboard" as part of the confirmation email that you receive once you schedule your interview date that contains anything and everything you need to know about the school (mostly very informative videos). I appreciated that because I personally find it exhausting to sit on Zoom ALL day long with back to back presentations, so it was great that we got to review all of the important info on our own time. On the day of the interview, we had a welcome session and then two 30 or 45 min (can't exactly remember) interviews that I found to be very conversational and pleasant. Lastly, a short and sweet closing session where they were very transparent about the next steps and when exactly we would hear back (and they stuck by their word in regards to the exact date that we would hear back)! Overall, a great experience imo!

I received my II last week and have my interview scheduled for next week. I never received this "dashboard". Is this what they send "two business days prior to your scheduled session"??

You’re right sorry!! I actually received the email with the dashboard 5 days before my interview 🙂

Do you know if they review applications chronologically, as in if someone applied at the end of August and did not hear back, they should assume their application didn’t make the cut to be read at this point?

No, don't assume that just because you haven't heard back now that you won't hear back at all. It is fully possible that they may read an application and set it aside. I believe that's what happened with mine - I was complete in August 2018 but heard nothing until I got my interview invite in December or January, with my interview in February 2019.

Can confirm the interview experience was one of the best I've experienced thus far. Perfect balance between making it feel like an in person interview day but also not making you sit in front of your computer for 8 hours! Very excited to hear back in 2 weeks.
