<p>In a few short years of interviewing, I’ve had a student turn down the interview and another never respond, and there’s another one this season who seems to not be responding. I find it remarkable. I always provide an account of my attempts to get in contact, etc. I don’t think it reflects well on the applicants.</p>
<p>As for students who are denied admission, I have occasionally contact them where we had kept an ongoing dialogue and I thought they might want to find out if I have any info on schools. In general, I’m close enough to college still so that I think I can genuinely help people make what is a very hard decision, so I might as well offer. I once had a denied student’s parent contact me asking for help.</p>
