I can't edit the original post any longer. As we keep getting more entries, I'll post an updated list.

If you're aware of any in-state versus out-of-state interview distinctions, please note those, as well. Thank you!

AFAIK-Pennsylvania does NOT require an in-person c & f interview except in the rare circumstance you have something in your background they are questioning on your application.
