Did you feel like you were definitely going to be accepted post interview?

There was about 57% of acceptance chance at my top choice school. You cannot predict it since you don't know how your co-applicants/competitors/future colleegues did on the interview ... and interviewer are always nice to you ... at least in my case.
Good luck.

I understand the statistics on acceptances but that was what I meant in that my friend got interviewed by VCU's dean and he said it was a miserible Q&A session and wasn't friendly at all, while another friend had an interviewer that told him at the end that he had "nothing to worry about". By the way, both were accepted and neither had stellar 4.0 GPA's and/or 24DAT's.

I've had a couple say things to me like "They're definitely going to want to vote on you," and "that is the best answer you possibly could have given to that question" (at a school I later got into), and also, at another school, the interviewer said "You are going to be admitted." But I've also had some interviewers just sit there and look stern, like at Arizona. I haven't gotten enough acceptances/rejections yet to see whether that's actually reflective of whether I get in.

I had a combination of positive and negative.

First interview was extremely positive and he mad the comment that he was, "surprised I didn't get in last year." Needless to say, I felt that my chances of being accepted were good to great.

The second however was negative, to put it politely, as he really questioned my passion for detistry. I left that interview feeling a wee bit beaten up.
