if you had a short interview (i.e. one that last 15 minutes instead of the scheduled 30 min), will you please post whether you were accepted or not by that school?
😕

i've usually heard that it's a good sign to have a short interview because it means the guy got everything he wanted to know about you in those few minutes, and now he can make his decision. usually it's good, i think. but i may be wrong.

my interview at SLU was 30 minutes, but i think it was supposed to be about 45. so i thought it was too short. i'll let you know if it worked out in about 2 weeks.

😕 •••••I had an interview last week at AECOM and it lasted only 15 minutes instead of the scheduled 60 minutes.
I don't know what to expect. 😳

I had a short interview around 15 minutes at Columbia and I was accepted. I had short interviews at washu and temple but I withdrew my application not too long after my interviews so I dont know.

I've had both extremes:

GW - 15 minutes, waitlisted
Rush - 95 minutes, accepted

I prefer the long ones...

One of my Duke interviews lasted only 15 minutes. It ended after I got five questions on geography wrong in a row. I'll let you know on Friday how I did... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

 

[vyc]

my GW interviews lasted less than the prescribed 30 minutes and i was accepted.

 

[Scooby Doo]

Columbia - about 15 minutes...accepted.

These faculty interviewers are busy people and sometimes are obligated to do these interviews. I wouldn't hold it as good or bad.

Short interviews and results:
1. Temple- 15 minutes (if that), acceptance 5 weeks later
2. MCP- 20 minutes, acceptance

Long interviews and results:
1. GW- 2hrs (w/Dean of Admissions), alternate list then acceptance
2. Einstein- 2hrs, acceptance

The only other interview I had was at NYMC and it was around 25 minutes which is normal.

NYMC - 15 minutes (haven't heard yet)

I will find out in 8 weeks. I don't understand why it takes so long. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Legi,
I sent you a PM, I also had a 15 minute interview last week at Einstein. Just asked about my family and let me go. I'm sure if this is a good or bad sign.

Less than 10 minutes - haven't heard anything yet from Cornell - I'm assuming the worst since some people on here have heard already.

1hour @ Einstein - accepted

 

[Niki]

This is my first post... hopefully it will help someone! One of my interviews at Cornell was about 15-20 minutes long and I was accepted last week.

Case, interview = 15 mins (scheduled for 30-1hr)
Accpetance 2 weeks after.

I really think it is just some people's style of interviewing. Some interviewers want you to spoonfeed them everything you have already written, some just want to see that you are a "real" person and maybe clarify a few things.

 

[spicoli]

UCSD = 18-20 minutes
UCLA = 1 hr 40 minutes

Accepted at both

weird, eh?

 

[sundevil1]

My interviewer at UCLA was about 20 minutes late and the interview only lasted 20 - 30 minutes instead of the usual hour. I'll let you know what happens.

My interview at Hopkins went for about 10 minutes. We talked about my family, and just as I thought we had gotten past the intro stage into a real discussion, he said "well, I don't want :wink: to waste any more of your time."

Fortunately, I got in, so I'm glad he didn't waste any more of my time :wink:

I know 🙁 I will definitely let you know if I get a reply from Mr. Silverman. Apparently a couple of people on here have emailed him in the past, and it seems that he does not reply back - at least not in any timely manner.

I had a 15 minute interview at Columbia, which seems pretty common, but I ended up getting waitlisted.
