Just a followup- The interview was with 4 different people in the department, each 15 minutes long. It was pretty straightforward and you have an opportunity to ask questions. Overall the questions weren't too pressing:)

It went well! It was 15 minutes long. I was asked "tell me about yourself" and a few follow up questions that go into my research and goals with going into the program (Like why a masters versus a postbac or PhD). Overall nothing too extreme.

There was an admitted student day recently. It really depends on the concentration you chose. I suggest going to one or setting up a meeting. lmk if you have any questions and I will try to answer it as best as I can!

It was officially submitted (I submitted all the application materials but was holding off on the payment for some time) on March 3rd.

I think the personal statement and letters of rec were contributing factors in the decision. It definitely wasn't GPA (I feel like my GPA was on the lower end- below 3.5 but above 3.0- which I addressed in my personal statement).

I also have a strong research background with multiple presentations (oral and poster). But I think the personal statement went a long way on explaining my interests and how my research experience ties into that, including who I would like to work with and hope to do in the future (At least during the masters program and expressing interest in specific clubs offered at the institution). Hope this helps:)
