In the sense that,

If there’s any other information you weren’t able to convey through the application or interview that you would like to add

Thanks for sharing, how long was it?
30 mins. It was pretty crisp and concise

I recived mine early morning on the day of interview. ~15 hours before

However, I guess it’s upto the interviewer. You get a reminder 24 hours before your interview which says


Please note, however, that due to the high volume of interviews we are conducting, the person you are meeting with may not reach out to you until 5-10 minutes prior to your scheduled time. “

So it’s really upto them I guess

Out of curiosity, what was the discussion like for question 5?

Did you say that Rice is actually your first choice school or did the interviewer respect your answer if you said it wasn't? If you don't mind me asking...

There wasn’t any prior discussion or any follow ups on that

I guess it’s a standard question that the adcom has mandated. I have seen this question in other interview experiences as well.
