<p>Write a good essay. Great chance.</p>

<p>Is it still a great chance if I have to fight for my spot in the international pool?</p>

<p>And exactly how much do interviews matter?</p>

<p>I am not sure about the admission rate for international students, but you stats looks very strong.
As far as I know, interviews don't count for that much. Maybe they can tip the balance for two equally strong candidates. Last Year, some people received the likely letter before the interview.</p>
