Are people already getting IIs? Or is this for early decision?

Can you please share how the interview was and the phone interview? Any curve ball questions to expect apart from them asking about mcat scores/low grades?

I interviewed with the Dean of Admissions for 1.5 hours. I don't think there is a phone interview; it's a 30-minute Zoom interview with a medical student. There were no curveball questions because the dean said he didn't want to stress me out. They might ask about how your study for the MCAT or what's a class you struggled with, but that's just to know you better. Also, the Dean felt very uhhhh stiff and stone-faced during the entire interview, so I thought he did not like me, but I still got accepted in December. He actually tried to sell the school to me during the second half, so it was a relief to have him do most of the talking, haha. The student interview was so chill and conversational (but watch out, if you let your guard down/show up late without apologizing/swear/or act disrespectfully, it will hurt you really reallllllly badly).

Does getting an II early on (high stat/mission fit) probably mean better chances of acceptance?

There are 2 waves of As. If u interview early, ur more likely to be part of the first wave. I interviewed in February and got in in April.
