pre-review ED materials before interview?

<p>I don’t get my interview yet though I submitted my application around Oct 15th. I wondered if the adcom takes time to pre-review our materials before assigning interviews. What kind of students will get the interview if the number of alumni in the area is very limited?</p>

<p>yeah i’d like to know that too if the interviewees read our apps. and stuff before actually interviewing us? or will they just get a generalization of who we are from penn?</p>

<p>im pretty sure they dont see anything. I asked my interviewer if she knew anything about me and she said “no, nothing. I didn’t see your application.”</p>

<p>i wonder isn’t it waste of time to interview def-accepted or def-rejected.</p>
