+1. I found the practice helpful in getting used to the timing/making sure to look into the camera. I enjoyed the experience.

I don't know if this will help, but I'm in almost exactly the same boat. Same dates 75th>LSAT 25<GPA<50. I would love to interview, but maybe they are planning to accept us without one

Haha thanks! I hope you are correct.. That would be amazing!

I submitted on 11/9, had a date change on 12/8, and a date change today (12/17). I also have not had an interview request or heard from anybody yet. I have no idea what is going on. I'm <25th GPA and >75th LSAT if that helps.

I really appreciate the info! It feels good to know this is happening to others that aren't reverse splitters lol.

Really? After I got a mock question asking how to estimate the revenue at XX (a consulting type question) I said forget this and moved on to the real thing lol

That's actually pretty funny. All my practice questions were really generic.

I had a practice question that asked if I thought education was a right or a privilege? And I was just like that's a little intense to have 30 secs to prepare for.

Ditto, though I had a few weird ones in my actual interview...nothing like a consulting question, but some that I don't recall seeing in this thread (how did you choose your undergrad, in particular).

Doesn't it make you feel like you're putting on an act for them to watch later?

Idk I just felt like the whole format was weird

Was this your first post-interview change, or another one?

First. I submitted my interview last night.

Think it's standard. I had mine change the day after interviewing, as did a number of others.

How long after that did you hear back (I think I saw that you got accepted)?

Haven't heard back yet, but a few got in this week who interviewed last week and had a date change the day after they interviewed. Hope we hear back before Christmas!

Just adding some info. I interviewed on Monday, date change the day after as well and heard back today (accepted)

earthabides · Post by **earthabides** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 1:55 pm

Interviewed on the 10th, got the date change to the 11th while remaining at interview requested. Now I have a date change to the 17th with application under review

lurker816 · Post by **lurker816** » Fri Dec 18, 2015 3:59 pm

Placed on reserve just now. Interviewed 12/11. Median LSAT, 25th GPA, so not surprised but the damn interview request got my hopes up. Best of luck to all still waiting!

For those of you who interviewed and were subsequently placed on reserve: how do you think the interview went? Did any of you think you killed it?
