Also, does anyone understand the point of the second interview since the first one is the main one?

I never got the impression that either one was the “main” one. An open file versus a closed file interview have two distinct purposes. In my far from infallible opinion, an open file interview is to get a better understanding of your extracurriculars, volunteering, shadowing, etc or to tie up loose ends, gaps, or red flags from your application. I feel like the closed file interview is more suited to learning more about one’s core character traits and personal disposition. Neither is the “main” interview.

Thanks so much for clearing it up. I wonder if the second interviewer(s) talk to the first interviewer to discuss our application or if they themselves are also on the admission committee. The school never cleared that fact up, but oh well, I’ll be patiently waiting. Thanks again!
 
My portal just updated to this sometime today! Still no email or indication of actual spot on the list though.

I trust that KU will send out emails to clarify tomorrow. From what it looks like on the thread, it seems like they sent out few to no acceptances for the most recent interview week. Bummer…

When did you interview? Because I interviewed 1/25 and I don’t have that message below “secondary application dashboard (2024)”. Is there another message about a second look day below the alternate list ID message as well?

I interviewed on 10/12! I then received the "wait until March" email on 11/9. And yes, I also have a box about the second look day a little bit lower down on my portal page.
 
My page was updated with an SAID number. Funny enough, it's the same ID number I had when I did my undergraduate degree at KU. Nothing else was changed though
 
Did anyone receive the second look registration notification but no green box with alternate or news today? Hopefully, they aren't done sending acceptances. Congrats to everyone today!!

Match list was listed in the graduation program from last year (they handed out booklets in person), looked very good overall
 
I know it’s too early to tell, but does anyone anticipate significant waitlist movement this year? I saw on last year’s thread that a lot of ppl got in off the waitlist. I think it was up to the 70s. Also, are ppl on waitlist most likely going to end up in Wichita or 2/2?
