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.

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.

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.😩
