I did as well - very relaxed and informative (phone interview).

Quick 20 minutes, very relaxed for sure. Did they allude to any admissions or anything? I was told they are trying to get out quick decisions but nothing very telling

Did they ask you general questions? (e.g. Interest in Law, in WashUSTL) I hope they make a quick decision as well.

If last year is any indication, as long as you act halfway normal during the interview...you were offered admission.

The information OP posted was correct, just general questions, very easy going...Why Law, Why WashU, talk a little bit about PS and resume, etc.

Checking in!

Applied e.d. last Tuesday, was offered an interview Friday, which I'm doing via Skype Monday. Sounds like the interview will be reasonably laid back.

Has anyone applying this year gotten positive feedback about admission during their interview?

Welcome. Best of luck with the interview. I can't speak about this year, but last year my interviewer said something along the lines of, 'I can't say for sure, but I think you have a very good chance of getting in'. My interview was much later in the cycle though...

My interview went really well and he seemed to be pretty pleased with my answers/application, but didn't hint at any decision like some people have been saying. Said i could hear very shortly or could take a few months. Then again I am kind of a reverse splitter for their numbers, so my situation could definitely be different from someone who meets their medians/above. I don't know if anyone else had a similar experience during the interview?

The interview last year was more of a YP measure it seemed, as well as a "do you have any questions?" Mine I was asked one question, that was it.

That tort class was interesting. Definitely a nice university. I think the interview went great (hoping for the best).
Very open-ended conversation.

I was a reverse splitter. Feel free to PM me.

I was really tempted to jump at some of the Q's he asked. Still can't believe I got called out lol.

^lol well good thing you didn't, since that's a no-no. Most people don't want to hear anyone else talk let alone an 0L ;)

But yea like I said before, that's def not your normal 1L class. That's the most involved class if you get cold called, but it's nice because once you're picked you're safe for a while. The last week or so I've been showing up stress free since I was already called on.

This.
0L's: please don't ask/answer questions when you come visit. We are glad you are here, but don't do this. You will be mocked, and will almost definitely be remembered if you ultimately matriculate here next fall.

Also I didn't meet up with kev today but if/when you 0Ls visit just let us know if you wanna meet up with some of us that are available.

I feel like I'm the worst person for this though because I either have a meeting/a free lunch to snag/or torts reading to do FYI.

Thanks! Very general questions, as everyone has suggested. Also vague on timeline for decision, just said they're impressed with my application and it could be a few weeks.

Good luck all!
