In general it seems to be a good sign; unclear what percent of interviewees get in. I have numbers right on target but was rejected after interviewing. Not sure if that makes you feel better.
Haha in some ways yes and in some ways no. Thanks for the insight

I was told during my own interview that they interview all candidates they're considering seriously, and that no one is admitted without an interview. So it's definitely a good sign!

Just sent my app today morning and it's already under review! So fast...

So guys, how many days should I be expecting to hear back from them? For an interview or a decision?

Hope they don't YP me since they did waive my fee...

Also, did anyone create a list of questions they might ask during the interview?

I think it's going to take a little longer now that they're getting more applications, but I was asked about doing an interview a little under a week from when my application went complete.

Questions asked seems to vary slightly based on your interviewer. I was asked why UVA, questions about my resume, what the best day of my life was, what my career goals are 5 years down the line, then 10 years down the line. That was with Dean Faulk.

I was accepted, and talked about the collegial environment at UVA and a specific extra-curricular program I was interested in when asked why UVA.

Good luck!

Checking in. Just interviewed with Chris Colby a couple of hours ago. It was pretty laid back, but still no word yet. Although I've been constantly refreshing the status checker ever since...

I interviewed with him about 3 weeks ago, but still no word. Good luck though! Hope you don't have to wait as long as I.

Omg so excited for LSAT scores to come out so I can apply. UVA is by far my first choice. Currently looking up t-shirts and hoodies.

Congratulations!
It sounds like most people are having these long conversations with their interviewer. Is it a bad sign that my interview was less than 15 minutes?

I don't know that it makes a difference.. I had a 40 minute conversation and thought it went well but haven't heard back, and it's been weeks.

Not necessarily. My interview was only around 20 minutes long and was accepted

Mine was exactly 20 because my interviewer had someone lined up for right after me, still was accepted. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Damn so you think they'll just reject?

I'd be pissed if it's YP for me. Any higher up the rankings and I'm a huge splitter. GPA < 25, 75 < LSAT. Doubt I'd get much $$$ with that.

I don't think they'd reject necessarily, they are just not giving the decision quickly (which, fair enough). Probably waiting to see how things are shaking out and will wait list most YP people

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
