How long are the MD interviews? AFAIK "one long interview with a faculty member and one asynchronous interview." How long is "long" lol... 1 hr..? And we'll be able to do both the faculty and Kira during the ~2 hours alloted?

I believe the faculty interviews are scheduled to be 45 minutes long, 1 hour max (mine went for an hour). You have the other hour to do Kira at your leisure- it only takes like 10-15 minutes total so there’s plenty of time.

During interview day they said they interviewed 590 ppl last yr, but admit school statistics says 750. Do you guys think if this means the II to A percent is going to be much higher (assuming trend continues this year) or they're handing out less A's

Their II to A last year was pretty high, like greater than 50%

on the application portal it says they welcome letters of interest; does anyone know if it actually helps at all to include those?

Paraphrased from the director of admissions: "You are welcome to submit a letter of interest if you want, it won't do anything at all to your application or help in any way, but you can do it to make yourself feel better" lol
