Suggestive Language During Interview?

[Wowmcwow]

I just had an OOS Interview (11/4) and I actually interviewed with one of the deans who is on the admissions committee. During our interview, we talked about my current clinical job at my current city's public health clinic. Then, the dean was saying stuff like, "For your fourth year, we can set you up to do your rotations at XYZ Public Health Clinic/Health Sciences Center since you seem to like it a lot" and he went on and on talking about the things the school will do for me, etc. talking like I'm already a student there. The diction and tone were suggestive that he really liked me. Am I just being over enthusiastic and optimistic or is do adcoms sometimes use suggestive language to hint their approval for you? Especially with someone who has a high degree of influence like this dean?

I wouldn't read into it, there are plenty of responses in past threads from people who have been told point blank "you're going to like it here next year" during their interviews who end up getting rejected. Then again, if it was a dean, it may be different, but in the end nobody really knows

Damn, is that a common phenomenon? To hear that you're gonna like it here next year then get rejected?

Conversely, I had one adcom ask a few questions and then she started selling me on the school, talking about research opportunities, the community it's in etc.

At another interview, my interviewer specifically said "I'm going to fight for you to the admission committee later this month. I really hope to see you here next year."

In both cases I was accepted. I wouldn't necessarily read too much into it, but I think they do try and fight for you if they like you

Is fighting necessary for an acceptance? I really feel like no one was head over heels about me lol

They just liked me.

I had an interviewer tell me that my writing and personal statement are "amazing", all of my letters of rec were "awesome", and she wished she could talk to me for longer.

Waitlist.

Had a job interview with the manager who asked me if I'm ready to work hard next week when I come in. Then He didn't even have the courtesy to call or email me that I didn't get the job. Moral of the story 😛eople are full of ****.

In my case I had a 'red flag' (no shadowing since I'm Canadian) that the school I think was a bit concerned about. But I explained why it wasn't possible to get shadowing, and she was like 'Oh I dont think they knew that, I'll make sure to relay this'

One of my interviewers said flat out that he was going to advocate for me and the other told me to look him up if I get in. I refuse to get my hopes up though.

I came to this thread expecting suggestive language that is sexual in nature being used during interviews. I left disappointed 3/10.

Am I the only person who was hoping this post was about some sexual innuendo during an interview?

I guess my question is answered. Respect for beating me to it.

No, it's that interviewees are really terrible judges of their interviews, and interviewers are trained to be polite.

And FYI, the term "suggestive language" imparts a sexual connotation. I'm sure you meant "encouraging language"?

Ahhhhhhh ok that clear it up for me. Then yes, my interview with you @Goro was definitely suggestive.

Wait is this is NOT a sexual innuendo thread? Seeing some blurred lines.
