If you got an acceptence from a schools and then you have other interviews:

1. Do you ahve to tell in the 2nd/3rd interviews that you already have an acceptence?
2. Does it decrease your chance as school may think that your chances of joining them are not 100%.

Juts curious. I will be just happy to get one, just one acceptence.

i don't remember ever being asked anything about my status at other schools during an interview. i do remember 2 secondaries asking about me and other schools, though. 1 just had a question about where i applied to, and another wanted to know everywhere i applied to AND my current status with them (interview invite, acceptance, etc). but during the interviews themselves this stuff never came up.

I was never asked. And you dont have to tell them anything anyway. The most I was ever asked was where else I applied.

if you've already been accepted at school A, yet your still going to an interview at school B, that would most likely be interpreted as you would choose school B over school A in the event that you get accepted. Otherwise, why would you waste money on flight/hotel etc., to get to the interview?

They know applicants apply to many places...but during the interview the schools want to see how much you really want to go to that school over the other schools

Like Skippy said, it would likely be assumed that since you are still interviewing you'd consider going to their school over the one you are accepted at.

Also, in my two interviews they never once asked about my status at other schools. Only NSU asks on their secondary what other schools you have applied to IIRC. Also, AACOMAS does not share you admissions status with any of the schools nor do they have any idea so there is no way for schools to find out where you've been accepted. Unlike AMCAS who lets all the schools know in May where else you've been accepted so they can fight over you and give you scholarships

So no, it shouldn't affect your chances of acceptance. If asked I'd probably respond with "yes I have an acceptance to another school, but seeing as how I'm here today I'd like to explore my options and consider your school among my favorites." or something to that manner. I can't see it hurting you as long as you come off with a sincere interest in the school.
