For those who interviewed during the open round in the fall, what does this mean for chances of our admittance? I received an email yesterday that just said our records indicate you have either scheduled or already had your interview, so nothing further is needed.

Just curious what this means.

It doesn't have anything to do with your chances. Just a confirmation.

Does anyone know if there is any meaning attached to whether you're invited to interview with a current student/alum/adcom member? Is it random?

I don't think it means anything. Seems like it's random and probably just depends on the availability of each type of interviewer.

One point I noted in the 2021 admissions cycle is all interviews are on zoom and most of them are recorded. So not only the interviewer but also other members of adcom might access the interview.
This process has its pros and cons.
But I wish everyone good luck.

Hi Nikhil,

Got it. I guess it is up to the alum to record the interview or not. The other person's interview was also with an alum and it was not recorded. How did your interview go? :)

Thank you! I've attended two webinars for waitlisted applicants, and the AO said a recommendation letter from alumni is also useful. because I've updated three times of my latest improvement, and I am considering if any alumni can help me and give me a recommendation.

Not an expert but my guess is someone who should know you well of know you enough to give a recommendation.
So I would not go for an unknown recommendation.
Talk to a few alums and if they are impressed they themselves might give you one ? Again not an expert .
