Anyone ever had an interviewer say this and get a rejection letter? I just don't want to put false hope into getting accepted and get a rejection letter despite an interviewer saying this.

Yes - this happened to me at one of the Top 5 med schools that happened to be my first choice at the time - my faculty interviewer said at the end of my interview that I "would have no trouble getting in" and that he "thought it was very unlikely that wouldn't be accepted." Eight weeks later: I got waitlisted.
I feel that whenever an interviewer says that you'll get in, you should take it with a grain of salt. However, it is still a sign that you probably have a much better shot than everyone else who has interviewed.
You aren't accepted until you get it in writing.

Interviewers only have leverage when they are either on the committee themself or play a really important role in the school.
The same thing happened to me at Missouri. I got a straight rejection. I was kind of shocked initially. It's not like I said "how did I do?" to put them on the spot. At the minimum I expected to be put on the waitlist.Originally posted by applegirl
At one of my interviews at a Texas school, my interviewer said that I was a strong candidate and that he saw no reason for me not to be accepted. But of course it wasn't solely up to him. Come match, got rejected, not even waitlisted.
At first I was very happy about it, and then very sceptical about the whole thing. I was an o.k. cadidate but he made me sound like I was material for one of the top 5 schools.
Just take everything with a grain of salt.
