The purpose of this research is to explore whether interviewer rating will be influenced by the time point of interview, and examined the impact of interview structure as well. This study extends previous research by examining the order effect in structural interview settings. Data was collected from University entrance admission, including undergraduate and master program selection interviews. In addition to the order effect, the impact of applicants’ gender, grade point average, grade ranking, individual supporting materials, scholastic ability test score, physical attractiveness, nonverbal behaviors, and interview performance is also discussed. The results show that the female applicants’ overall scores and interview scores are higher than male applicants’. Physical attractiveness has a positive effect on their interview scores, but not on final scores. The scores of general scholastic ability test score and supporting materials are positively related with interviewer ratings. However, applicants who get higher grade point average have worse interview performance. The order effect does not exert an effect on interviewer rating and final scores, implying interview structure may reduce perception bias and order effect.
