<p>I don’t think that the interview decides your admissions decision at all. I had an interview with a Chicago alumni, which was okay but not brilliant, but I got wait-listed.
But then again, I’m an international student demanding financial aid and I know that I’m in a very competitive category. My friends, who had lower SATs and less “impressive” ECs, got in through EA.
Oh well, at least Chicago’s waitlist isn’t as long as Wash U’s!</p>
