Hello! I have a few BS interviews scheduled for the first two weeks of January. Should I try to send in my application essays beforehand (on the theory that it will enable the interviewer to know a little more about me) or wait until after so the interview can be more open-ended? Or does it not matter because no one starts reading applications until after the deadline?
