Are incoming classes pretty much already decided for schools that have a rolling admissions policy. In other words, if you interview this late are you atomatically going to be waitlisted no matter your stats?

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works. Some are accepted and some are waitlisted in each batch of interviews. Since the schools don't know if more of the best applicants will be in the initial pool or the latter one, they use the waitlist to hold the maybe's.

Yes, for some schools. At one interview I was told by the admission's dean that once the school has reached its quota for acceptances, interviewees past that date are put on the waitlist.

Yeah, that's kind of what I've heard for MSUCHM, but I can keep hoping. I should have listened when everyone was telling me to get my stuff in early. 🙄
