I heard that post-November interviews are auto-waitlist tho? I'm in that range with some strong institutional ties that's pretty disappointing to see.

Lowkey the chillest interview experience I've had so far

Did you have 2 separate interviews with a faculty member and a student? How was the format? I have one coming up and SDN doesn't say much (unless I'm looking in the wrong place)

Has anyone that interviewed received the email for the presentations that are supposed to happen the first week of the month? I haven't gotten anything but I want to make sure I wasn't missing it

I had an interview only with faculty. I think you only get the student interview if there is available spots. Mine was pretty chill closed file interview. Had all the basic questions, tell me about yourself, why medicine etc. Pretty conversational as I would mention an activity and they would ask follow-up questions.

Yup, exactly that. Whether its open or closed file seems to be completely random. Mine was open file so they asked pretty good and engaging questions about my application, but I also see other people mention their interviews were closed.

You really don't until the interview. My understanding from SDN is that (correct me if I am wrong) most interviews at USF are closed file, but some are open. My interviewer was only able to see name, major, school and not any of my grades or activities.
