Congrats! Open file is when your interviewer(s) have access to your application while close file, they do not have access. Some schools, to minimize bias have closed file interviews cause it’s not always about stats. Other like to keep it open so see if you can stand your ground with specific questions from your application lol

Can confirm - according to the intro session it is a closed file interview with two faculty members, 20 minutes long.

Overall, the introduction session was an overview of school history, buildings and points of interests, the city, the student organizations and research opportunities. There was a session to ask a DS4 some questions in a breakout room and also a chance to ask Dr. Kowolik (Dir. of Admissions) questions about the school, admissions timeline, etc.

Yes, I would say dress to the same level as for the interview. It's not recorded but they ask that you have your camera on so they can see you.

I submitted to AADSAS on June 16, filled my supplemental on July 14, but didn’t get confirmed until October 15. Has anyone else had a super long wait between the IU Grad CAS submission and receiving the confirmation email?

Hello! I just had my interview a few hours ago. It was honestly pretty chill, the interviewers I had were great asking pretty general questions, like the ones you can find on SDN. I couldn't tell if the interview was open or closed file though. We were told that it was closed but then I got asked about taking the DAT twice so I really don't know how it's closed file if they knew I took the test twice. But overall it was a great interview experience.

Hello,

How long will interviews go for? Im starting to get worried about not getting an interview yet.

I took my DAT august 17th, 22 AA pretty strong applicant overall. Got verified in October. Do they do them in sequential order? Any feedback would be nice.

It seems they are looking at applications sequentially. Since your app was just verified this month I would say you will hear back sometime in November. Assuming that they had a steady flow of applications coming in this entire cycle.

I agree. Also, I believe they were doing 6-7 weeks of interviews now and then done in Jan-Feb

What questions did they ask you about taking your DAT twice?
 
Those that have interviewed, did the mandatory introductory session take the entire three hours? Did you have to have your camera on?/talk at all??

Thank you!! Also has anyone tried to see if they could get a different interview date? I’m just worried that I’ll get in trouble at work since I have such short notice

I was wondering If once decision day comes, will the admissions team be taking our whole application into consideration, or just our interview?

I think they look at everything but take a holistic approach so even if grades or DAT scores aren’t extremely competitive but the interview went well and they think you’d fit in well at their school then they would accept you

I emailed today and they said they were still reviewing my application. Since they didn’t say that they were done reviewing them I’m going to assume they still are sending some out.
