Does anyone have an idea how soon after interviewing a candidate do admissions committees make their decision (pre-December interviews)? I interviewed at a school on Monday and sent my thank you email on Wednesday. I know it doesn't make a difference obviously, but was kind of wondering if they had already decided on me by the time my interviewer read it.

Feel free to include things you've heard about only a specific school, I'm just curious.

I've heard from students at Colorado they meet every week to decide on the previous week applicants. They have 3 interview dates in a given week. But it's unofficial so if you are accepted in August, you could get bumped by someone in November.
 
The San Antonio admissions dean said they meet the week after as well. Sensing a common theme so they probably received your thank you note in time.
 
Few schools I heard conduct meeting once they finish interviewing everyone on the same day (while applicants still in school watching presentations). Not sure if they make the decision right away, but as I understand they gather together so that interviewers could give an impression about an applicant (your grade).
