my most chill & friendly interview so far imo! the admin team and interviewers were all very welcoming and genuine. interviews had maybe 2 "required" questions and the rest was conversational and felt like they were just interested in getting to know me as a person

You go to a different zoom without admission people, so I think it's an activity for you to experience their small group learning.

No clue. I have no evidence other than cycletrack and admit. If it's not over its very close to being over, but no reason not to hold out hope, I guess.

Unfortunately, you might be right. When I scheduled my interview (for this Thursday), they stated their last interview day is this Friday.

Is submitting another update letter post interview (2nd one) not recommended
which days are second look again? I forgot to write it down
I interviewed in mid-Dec but haven't sent an update letter to try to prolong it before they meet to finalize admissions decisions. When should I aim to get the letter in, before it's too late.

Nah they told us to send update letters even if it's after they already met and they'll still consider it in subsequent meetings

I already got passed over by WashU, Vanderbilt, and UChicago’s decision release waves. Penn is the only one left, and I can’t wait any longer for their decision.😩
