Hi again--

I was curious as to when they actually decide on an application... I know my app has been received, is complete, and has been "filed". Surely they can't make all the decisions within the last week or so. When does the commitee start voting on apps? If one reader likes the kid and one doesn't, then will it go to committee?

Thanks!

Only an admissions officer can give you accurate info. No idea when they start voting. I'm pretty sure they are working around the clock. Even if both readers like you, I think you go to committee. I don't think anyone gets accepted without going to committee, but I really have no basis for this belief. Have no idea what percentage go to committee. I'm sure there a good number of people who just aren't realistic and a good number of people who are very strong who are obviously going to committee. What happens to the grey area people is the big question.

i did my interview this morning.
it was great!!!! i loved talking to my interviewer, it was a very natural, fun conversation.
one thing that bugged me was she told me that she was in a secret society
but didnt elaborate!!

QuixoticRick

Should I provide my interviewer with a copy of my resume?

QuixoticRick

No, I asked my interviewer and he said not to bring mine because he's not admissions council and just wants to hear what I did from me and not a piece of paper.

well i brought my resusme, and it started as a good conversation point. she just kind of skimmed through it to get a better understanding of me.

take it, ask if she/he wants it, and if she/he doesn't, you carried 1 or 2 extra sheets of paper around. If she/he does, great.

i had my interview today! I didnt bring my resume and everything went fine, so no worries. but interestingly, his first question was....what other colleges are you applying too? i was ok with it and after that everything was much more conversational.

Hi

I have a question.

I'm planning to submit my application form on December 26 (around that time ). Will that hurt my chance of getting an interview? are interviews distributed on a first come first serve basis?

thanks!
