I was 0730 and didn't start until close to 0750, so not surprised they're pretty far behind.

Yes! I am still waiting and I was supposed to interview 1.5 hours ago. I haven’t heard back from the coordinator for a while either... others in the same boat I take it?

How long was everyone’s interview? Mine was shorter than I anticipated. Made me nervous. ?

Also it sounds like they had 2 per time slot then?? So they interviewed around 32?? Is my guess? So I’m guessing they’ll take close to 16-20 then. Right? Thoughts? (Lots of assumptions here)

Mine was only ~20 minutes and I felt the same way, LOL.

I'm glad I found this thread.  You honestly had it better than I did.  I waited for almost 2 hours and I received no update.  It was only because my coworker who was interviewing had been told to hang out a little longer, as theirs ran behind also.  I received no apology and had a family member waiting at the airport that I was supposed to have picked up.  I was pretty upset so I felt that was easily gleamed from me during my interview and it just didn't feel great.  No one introduced themselves and my interview felt incredibly rushed.  I can't imagine those who had to get off work/worked nights/rearranged plans got through that kind of wait.  I had considered signing off and requesting a reschedule, but I had noticed they had only dates this weekend for interviews and I felt a bit stuck.

This is my top school and I'm all for being flexible, but our time is important too and if this is how they value me now, I'm not sure I want to know how it goes when you are actually in this program and making the sacrifices we are.

Don't take it personal. They're interviewing so many applicants - It is what it is unfortunately. Look on the bright side, if you get accepted, and are from TN, you'll only pay like 40k for the whole program.
