So far during my interview season it seems like about half of my interviewers have literally no interest in asking me questions. They'll maybe ask where I'm from and why psych, but then spend the rest just asking if I have questions. Some don't even ask the first few questions. Between these and some of the really short interviews with PDs I'm really questioning what use interviews actually are. How much do these limited and often superficial interviews actually play into adcoms decisions? Is it mostly a numbers (I.e. Grades and step) game and the interview is to screen out monsters? Considering how many people they interview and how subjective they can be I just can't see them being all that useful, unless someone is totally socially inept or manages to blow people out of the water with their personality.
