Umm. Here is my case.

I got my first interview very quick after I submitted my application. I think I did pretty well on the first interview, except maybe wrong on one or two questions among 10-15 questions.

After roughly 3 weeks, I get my second interview notice. It will still be with an alumnus.

But based on my experience, interview with Admission officer = non-technical. Interview with current student/alumnus = technical. So I am expecting it to be technical again.

But as far as I can see from the trackers, most people who get into the program only had one technical interviews.

There was only one guy I see from the tracker in recent 2/3 years who had 2 technical interviews.

So here is my concern.

1. Having a second technical interview means I did poorly in my first one? (which shouldn't really be the case because I think I did pretty well).
2. Does it mean that I am on the border of being admitted and being rejected? (which is why they wanted to interview my technical skills again).

What do you guys think

Thx
