I was always under the impression that if you get an interview, you're pretty much in unless you're socially inept. Recently I've gotten interview invitations so I did more research. Turns out that for most schools only about half of the people that interview actually get accepted. I've seen stats that suggest numbers as low as 1 in 3 interviewed getting accepted. This worries me haha. I know I'm social and "normal" and can say interesting things and show motivation towards a career in medicine...but so can almost everyone else who is interviewing.
My question is, how much do they weigh the interview in deciding who to accept? I've heard that everyone who gets an interview is at the same playing level from that stage forward. Is this true or do numbers and activities continue to play a role in admission decision even after interviews?
