Well most people posting in this thread are in their early 20s. But since you fessed up to being married, we are def going to shun you. :)

Either way, it looks like the majority of people ITT don't get to play match game with us.

Yes, I believe he is. I was just saying that it's not super typical of early 20s people. He is an exception to that generalization.

It was really conversational so we mostly talked about my interests and she talked about programs at HLS that serve those interests. Very short, about 12 mins or so.

I think the acceptance rate is about 70-80%, assuming ~1200 interview invites. After the interview is faculty review, which seems to be taking a lot of time this year.

I had my interview 11/12 and heard back 12/15.
Yeah, ditto. It's a very cordial interview. We laughed alot during mine. It's probably impossible to not feel anxious beforehand, but rest assured that it's actually a fun interview.
Congrats DiniMae! Dug this up from earlier ITT. Good luck, and try to enjoy it!
