I am sure it holds some weight. They aren't going to interview for no reason.

i did it last cycle and it was just a casual conversation with a current student, and you trying to ask question about the school.
Which means this doesn’t impact the decision??

jeff9835
not yet, but got one last cycle. Does not mean anything. I applied R4 last year and got a housing email. Still go rejected. So housing email does not indicate anything about your admissions status
got it!!!!!

Is everyone receiving the Housing mail???

I visited McCombs; everybody told me that though the interview is optional, they highly recommend it. Students advised me to attend interview if you’re serious about your application.

Sorry, yes, FT students is optional, professionals are required. Either way, it definitely holds weight, so correct.

For McCombs optional interview.
For an Indian,Would it be wise to schedule an interview with someone probably from India? Or it’s irrelevant? What’s the best case scenario?

It is irrelevant.

The best case is to schedule an interview and exhibit enthusiasm.

Learn more about the school and ask relevant questions

The peer interview was more about the student asking questions and learn about McCombs

My interviewer ask me just 1 question about how I will continue to the mccombs community and then was expecting me to ask pertinent question to learn about mccombs

True . I had mine. All they asked me was how will I contribute to the McCombs community. After that it was all q&a

Just depends what program you applied to. The working professionals have rolling decisions. Once all your materials are submitted, they usually have an answer in 4 weeks. Full-time has to wait till the deadline for an answer. Maybe a few days before.
