good4college, i hate to be a downer, but if you haven’t gotten an interview yet, you almost certainly won’t ever. my interviewer told me that we had to interview by the 20th, and as soon as you submitted your application your name was put into the database from which interviews are automatically assigned. there’s no reason why your interviewer would put off contacting you this long if you’d been assigned an interview; frankly, it would be quite rude of them to contact you this late and expect you to be available so quickly.

but really, it’s not that big a deal if you didn’t get an interview. it’s unlikely to make much of an impact anyway, and there certainly isn’t any inherent disadvantage to not having an interview. i had one, and it didn’t go so well. sucks for me, but it also shows how an interview isn’t necessarily a boost, as some people tend to assume.
