There were between 10-12 applicants on my interview date. I don't know if this changes due to the fact that it is later in the cycle and seats are more limited.
Anyway, I was interviewed by 4 ppl. Two students, the dean of admissions, and a professor. The questions were straight forward so don't be overwhelmed by the fact that there will likely be 3-4 people interviewing you.

They won't make a decision on the spot. I have heard of ppl getting calls the next day, but that was a little later in the cycle. I would assume you will not hear until the 15th of February when the deposits are due from the second cycle of acceptances. Personal Message me if you have any specific questions.

They will be straight forward with you about when you will hear from them. They will probably tell you the exact date that you should know for sure. No pressure, they are all nice and they just want to know about you.

10 - 12 other pre dents will be with you during the day

You will get a tour, lunch, and a financial aid workshop

My interview was 20 minutes and with 3 people: a psychologist, a pedodontist, and a admissions officer.

Just check out the interview feedback on sdn, as that's what I did to prepare. It was nothing out of the ordinary, all standard questions.

You won't get a decision right away, but they said that they are now in their second round of interviewing (Dec 1st to the end of Jan). They said that second round notifications will go out the first week(ish) of february.

good luck!
