^I’d also add that interviewees were picked in late Jan/early Feb and at that time, the undergrad adcom couldn’t possibly review all the 30,000 applications and therefore it’d be unfair to prematurely give them “offers” already. I also think it’s best the ug adcom don’t get influenced by the HPME group’s “referral”, at least not that early, and work independently and only converge at the end.

As for the expenses incurred, nobody points a gun to force them to go to interviews. Life is full of taking chances and this is no different. I think people are well aware there’s no guarantee of any kind.
