Interviewed last week and just got invited for a one on one student interview. It says it is optional but highly recommended. Has anyone done this yet?

Anyone who had the student interview already- was it the same chill vibe as the faculty interview or how did it go?

similar experience to faculty interview but also super chill! remember, they're around our age and went through the same exact thing 1-2 years prior 🙂 good luck!

515; 3.92
I got my II on 8/10 after my primary was verified on 8/1 with a 520 and 3.8 as an IS applicant. My friend who had a better MCAT submitted his secondary only a few days earlier and got his II a week earlier so I'm assuming they rank before reviewing, hopefully you will get an II soon 🙏

I just had my faculty interview and I think it went well, is the student interview compulsory? Is it a bad thing if we don’t get a second interview

The email I received for the student interview said everyone who interviews is offered the optional (but recommended) student interview. But that invite was like 3 weeks after my faculty interview so you'll likely get the Student Interview Invite later.
 
Congrats to all those who got A’s. ED people made a class group chat here’s the link to those who would like to join.

What even is the student interview, is it like an actual scored and evaluated interview, or is it more of like a Q and A with a student?

It is part of the evaluation because my student interviewer mentioned that she would be sending an eval to the committee. I'm not sure how much weight they put on the student interview but it was very chill and conversational & was a good opportunity to ask questions of someone who currently attends the school.
 
Late, but...

IS II on 10/5
Complete 9/19

Excited for the opportunity. It's hard to know where schools stand with reviewing your apps or just the general order they do it in, so hopefully, I can be helpful as one more data point!

Does anyone know if the Meet the Deans session has an impact on decisions? Also what is the dress code for that (because I am attending it during my lunch break at work)?
my meet the dean session is 2,1/2 months after my interview so probably not that much
