From what I understand, they only want updates for very specific things (ex. ACCEPTED papers, new MCAT, service/travel awards, etc). Because they have those strict specifications, I would assume they would be receptive to anything that meets them

anyone have a good idea about the post interview acceptance rate. good chances compared to other schools? any interview advice as well? I keep seeing people say their questions are weird which makes me nervous.

I still have not received an interview. Being a Duke alumni and connections with research there and hours of volunteer work there. It seems like they should be giving interviews to their alumni.
