Open/close file

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
In a closed file interview, you have already been deemed a viable candidate, since you've passed both of their min academic requirements such as gpa, OAT score, and non-academic requirements such as LORs before the interview. In a completely closed file interview, the interviewers know nothing about you except your name.

That is not necessarily always true. Some schools will have the interviewers read your essays prior to the interview.
