The admissions lady asked a very prepared list of questions, cut me off during my answers, and did not seem to listen much

Can you clarify what you mean by saying that your interviewer did not seem to "listen much?" If you mean that your interviewer didn't provide affirmative feedback/did not respond directly to your comments with specific follow-up questions, that does not mean your interviewer didn't listen much. It is simply a different style of interviewing, and one that isn't at all uncommon in the professional world at that.

I just didn't feel like she was trying to sell the school to me.

Maybe this is because you are supposed to sell yourself during the interview and then the school sells itself to you after you're accepted, assuming that you are. HTH

Had my interview recently. My interviewer was friendly and it was a pleasant experience, all told. All q's I was asked have been covered ITT. Absolutely nothing to fear with some prep. Good luck, all!

Same. Obviously not as pleasant as H or WUSTL but I actually found it less intimidating than UVA and it's certainly better than any of those pre-recorded online ones.

Long-time lurker here. I just went UR4 today. Regular decisions soon?

Edit: Actually not sure if it's UR3 or UR4. Did anyone else notice a change?

Just had my first update since the UR after interview. Hope you're right!

Still 11/17 (UR3) here. That said, hardly a "slam dunk" applicant so I may not be in wave 1.

Still UR3 11/16. Holding out hope for a NYE decision to either make or break the end of 2k15.

You might get lucky. I'm rooting for you!

Thank you, thank you! Still a long shot but why give up the fight when you've made it this far!

Have any RD people seen their status change to UR3 since their interview? Mine is still showing the same date.

Mine did, yes - but I interviewed in October.

Thanks guys. Mine finally came in (UR 3 12/29). Follow up question; has anyone seen their status go to UR4? Looking through this thread I haven't seen any UR4 reports. Could that mean that isn't a thing this year, or do you think they're just running behind last year's schedule and we won't hear decisions until after the new year?

There haven't been any reported UR4s. We are in the window for them though! And decisions can come very very quickly after a UR4. We have been ahead of last year on the interview schedule, but who knows what is going on there!
