I interviewed a fair number of applicants this year, and I just found out the results today.  I was pretty shocked as only one of the three "locks" I had predicted from my pool made it in.  Another "lock" was waitlisted (the most impressive of the group, imho)...and everyone else was denied. 

Conversely, I interviewed 5 prospects and 1 was admitted. Honestly, I was not overly impressed by any of them, but the one I thought was the best candidate was denied. The on admitted was not spectacular, IMO. I think there are just vagauries in the process that can't be accounted for.

Also, the girl who was admitted is a foreigner doing her last 2 years of high school in the states. She's an international student, but wouldn't show up in the "foreign high school" statistics. I interviewed another guy with a similar situation. So this may under represent internationa.
