<p>Urgh okay I applied ED and the admissions office said they haven’t received my materials. I sent everything by mail, and they asked me to fax my application over.</p>
<p>I have a feeling that they received it, but they’re just so flooded right now that it’s taking forever to process my materials so what should I do? Fax it over? What about my teacher’s recs? 
My teachers have gone overseas, whoopie.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haven’t received any material? You sent the main form by mail as well?</p>
<p>Yes! Cause my internet was being wonky that time so I decided to do the app by mail. They’re asking me to fax my application over.
I think I’m just going to fax my essays + Common App forms over, I really don’t know about all the supplementary stuff like teacher’s rec and all the reports. I’m thinking it’s just a hold-up in processing some of the materials.</p>
<p>huh which school is tt??</p>
<p>Hi people, I’ve got an alumni interview coming up. Can I just ask if its common for almost all Singaporean applicants to have alumni interviews, or only a few get it?</p>
<p>depends…what school?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Some schools will try to interview everyone, others only interview a few. In my experience, Columbia and MIT tries to interview everyone while Harvard interviews a select few from Singapore.</p>
<p>how about schools like yale, cornell and duke?</p>
<p>depends on early or regular. which one did you apply ed to</p>
<p>most ivy schools tend to have alumni interviews. mit too. but don’t worry too much if you don’t get one.</p>
<p>frankchn: just curious, how does H decide who to interview?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They probably look over the international applications and decide on the more promising ones I guess.</p>
<p>^ That’s plain unfair. Plus, how do they really decide who’s more promising or not in such short notice??</p>
<p>Well I think they interview starting in early Feb for Singaporeans(?). That does give them about a month to sieve through the “promising” applicants.</p>
<p>for those applying this yr, did you all submit all ur grades or only the predicted grades???</p>
<p>so any advice for alumni interviews?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sec 4 grades, JC1 Promo grades, JC2 Prelim grades and Predicted grades.</p>
<p>Those are what my school sent.</p>
<p>^ sec 4 grades, O level HMT, A level PW, prelims, predicted. this should suffice.</p>
<p>wt schools r u guys frm??? my school sent everything…</p>
<p>^ Hwa Chong. But I applied for mine back in the good old days where we can submit/not submit anything we want.</p>
