<p>did you request one? if so when? (i’m just trying to get facts clear for the benefit of future applicants, not trying to criticize what you did or didn’t do)</p>
<p>i’m posting this really for anyone reading this thread considering applying in the future – you have to be very proactive in requesting an interview – fill in the info requesting one asap – go to the website and see when on campus and off campus (ie alumni) interview are being booked – and if you can’t book one or request one when you first look, keep going back to keep checking.</p>
<p>the truth is that it is very hard to make reason out of selective college admission results – you just have to know you’ve done all you could have done – and if that is the case, just shrug and move on.</p>
<p>my earlier comments about effort was in the context of applicants who made certain assumptions as to what role their Judaism would play in admissions – i know some kids in that situation and really do think they took things for granted and made little effort to visit or interview because they assumed they didn’t need to.</p>
<p>people who are disappointed in admissions results always look for a “reason” to make it easier to understand – they weren’t the right demographic, too many from their school applied, etc.</p>
