<p>Hello all,</p>
<p>I woke up this morning to this email:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Have any of you heard of something like this before? What do you think this means about my chances?</p>
<p>Well it has to mean they’re at least strongly considering you. You may not be their for sure in pick, but you’re ahead of the pack. Have a really good interview, be polite and show strong interest and it could be an acceptance in waiting!</p>
<p>What I’d do for just one interview… :(</p>
<p>Hmm lets see, one of key decision makers in charge of your application (admissions officer) is trekking down from cambridge to your neighborhood. She is travelling 200+ miles. She has thousands and thousands of applications and she can only meet with 20-25 or so students. Do you think this is bad for you. Listen up boys and girls and men and women, any time you get a chance to meet with a decision maker, this can only mean its good for you.</p>
<p>From what i have heard, I hear that of the people invited for second round interviews, any where from 25% to 40% have been admitted in a given year. That percentage seems much higher than 6%.</p>
<p>@classicgirll, haha I’m in the same boat.</p>
<p>Just a heads up, I think her name might be Dara, not Dana.</p>
<p>@dansterans: Just checked. It is indeed Dara.</p>
<p>@n188159. BTW, since New York area subcommittees are over, I can give you a heads up that you’ve probably made it out of subcommittee. Good luck!</p>
<p>WCU, do you know which other subcommittees are over?</p>
<p>@Hawaii4lyfe: PM me with your general location (e.g. state) and I’ll check. I do have a rough schedule that I can reference.</p>
<p>WCU: better check the schedule for the full committee meetings: note the dockets meeting before March 10th. I wouldn’t draw any conclusions one way or the other.</p>
<p>@dar5995: Good catch. Hmm. I’m not sure why they’d have these second interviews after full committee. Would seem like an awful waste of time for them, especially considering such a large number (some 25) for such a small geographical region. </p>
<p>To be honest, I’m now a bit mystified.</p>
<p>You woke up to this email? Are you sure this wasn’t in your dreams?</p>
<p>If the email actually says “Dana Granoff” instead of Dara, - maybe someone’s trying to lure you to a remote place on a Saturday morning. Be careful</p>
<p>The email did read “Dara” and not “Dana.” My apologies. The interview is scheduled at a large public high school somewhere on Long Island. I’m still trying to make some sense of it.</p>
<p>Never heard of second group interviews . Is this a new thing ?</p>
<p>@n188159- How did that second “group” interview play out?</p>
<p>I’m interested in knowing too.</p>
<p>■■■■■ alert?</p>
<p>It appears that the ■■■■■ Subcommittee, is still in session.</p>
