No, after your 30 minute interview, there’s going to be a 15 minute wrap up session with Dr Steven Chang some time after

It was really easy! The people interviewing me wanted a really casual interview. I prepared this past month for the interview and I think my answers sounded rehearsed so they just told be to relax and be myself. Overall I think it was great!

Anyone know how many people they’re interviewing? And what is the chance of being accepted after interview?

They interview a total of 600-800 by December 15th, and send out about 200 acceptances. So on the interview day they interview about 60 people out a time. I asked Dr. Chang how adcom committees decide, and he said that they make a meeting and decide who to accept, reject, and waitlist.
Hope this helps :)

Thank you so much! The closest date they had was December 5th for interview when I choose it this morning. Do you know if that’s too close to be accepted on the 15th or is there still a chance for acceptance then?

Does anyone know if we hurt our chances for acceptance if we choose to interview Jan 23 over Dec 5th? I only have a day or two to prepare for dec 5th and I much prefer a January date.

I would keep in mind that December 5 is still before all schools send out their acceptances. The January 23 would be after the acceptance date and be based on a rolling basis. It’s your choice but I would go with December 5.

Is the December 5th full? should I register for the 23 or wait to see if a spot opens?
 
email says: We will NOT reschedule your interview unless you have a valid reason (i.e., death in family, illness - we will require documentation). You were given a choice of dates, so it is your responsibility to ensure that you are available on the date you choose. But only 1 date is available lol

I think when they say "Reschedule" they meant if you have already scheduled a date, then want to change it, you won't be able to unless you have one of those reasons. But if you haven't scheduled anything, and there's only that one day left, they will give you other options (but probably will be in Jan, 2021).

I would agree, the type of questions they asked deserved more time in order to fully answer it. It wasn't the 90 seconds they promised in the email
 
What happens if u did poorly on interview and u have ok stats like a 19 AA and 3.02 gpa with a 3.8 post bacc gpa? Is it WL or what?

maybe you are overthinking it and did better than you thought. Only people that know the answer to that is the adcoms for that school. I don't think a bad interview would destroy your chances unless you said something really alarming and seemed uninterested

Does the adcoms make a decision just only on the interview or what?

Nah, its always the "the full package", LORs, grades, DAT, personal statement, ECs, and etc along the interview
