Do Colleges Review Applications Before the Deadline?

From a slightly different point of view. The application may not be read early but you may get on the list for an interview sooner and have a better chance of actually having that interview.

I am an alumni volunteer who does interviews of applicants. I get the applicant’s contact info only after their application is submitted. Interviews are not required but there is always a push to interview as many applicants as possible. There isn’t a great amount of time between the application deadline and the interview reports deadline.

I am retired, so I was able to interview all of my list of students but some other interviewers didn’t make it all the way through their lists. It is typically the last minute applicants who are most likey to not be interviewed.
