no it's not.
Well, according to a 1L with whom I spoke yesterday, every single person she knows of in her class had an interview, and she knows of nobody in her class who did not. So it would appear that it is
de facto required, or very close to it.
For what it is worth, I have been told by the Admissions staff that it is not, and that they do admit without an interview.
However, my "putting two and two together skills" suggest either misrepresentation by the Admissions people, or that they admit so few without an admission as to make it statistically irrelevant.

I think an interview invite is (almost) necessary for an acceptance? ITT (I think it was, might have been a different post) there was a 1L at Chicago who said everyone she/he knows in her class has had an interview!
It would seem that anecdotally, an interview is all but necessary.

It's still early, and although it's anecdotal it does seem like schools are taking longer. Hopefully the break will be a time we can all relax and not have to worry.
Wishful thinking

I do as well but I don't think you can extrapolate anything from it lol.
Where are my fellow ED'ers? Decisions should be coming out in ~one week!

I also have that in mine. According to the last year's thread, it seems like it doesn't mean anything though.

I had my interview with Raegan Butler. She was very pleasant and the interview went well. The questions posted in this thread were spot on.
Good luck to everyone.

Everyone who gets interviewed gets under review before an invite (or at least I did) and then returns to under review afterwards.

Hey, did anyone else write an addendum of some kind? If so, does it show up on the application components checklist on your Status Checker?
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
