[3rd interview, same university]

I am afraid that they may run out of faculty members to interview me before I even get a decision.

That was exactly my thought, there are only about 3 or 4 more faculty members in the program left after these interviews. 

[3rd interview, same university]

Wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and what it may be a sign of. 

I interviewed with 2 different professors from the same university, and one of them recommended that I talk to a 3rd professor. 

Has anyone else experienced multiple interviews with the same university? 

I'm thinking it is either a sign that they are very interested and want to show me all their research, or they are very unsure and are just seeing if anyone is interested in me. 

Any ideas?
