I just took the video interview and... I failed miserably. I practiced so much for it but when it came to the real thing, I just froze up and kept spewing words. I'm so disappointed in myself.
Don't worry, I don't think there video interview is weighted that much. When I did mine I literally repeated the last line I said verbatim. I thought I bombed my chances too.
Thanks, I needed to hear that. They probably realize a lot of people are not used to just speaking directly to a camera so they might be more forgiving on it and still give an in person interview a shot.
Breathe. It's over now.
There are a lot of accounts here since 2013 about people felt they didn't do well on the video interview and still got an interview invite. I doubt the video (nor any 1 part of your app) is a make-or-break deciding factor. Instead, I assume and have it on good accord that adcom looks at your app as an entire package. Each part of your app gives them a little more insight into who you are, what makes you you, and how you'll fit into the greater class. This video is just one of those factors.
Go take a walk. Try not to beat yourself up about it. Think about the great parts you were able to show adcom and focus on that. There's a ton of time in the admissions process; try not to stress over things you can't change now.
