2/3 of the way there just hanging on!

So I know the typical answer to worrying about interviews is “don’t worry until Thanksgiving”. But that’s a blanket response for anyone who submitted whenever. My question is about people who submitted primaries day 1, were verified 1st batch, got 1st batch secondaries, and had a fast submission turn around.

Should we worry about interviews earlier than Thanksgiving? I would hazard to reason if you received and completed a secondary for most schools very early and don’t get an II in their first and second wave of II’s you’re probably not going to get one? Or is that wrong?

Is there some sort of re-review pile? Is there a chance your applications somehow is being seen after people who submitted after you did?

Any sort of insight would be real helpful for this first gen.

I think I did well on my first interview so please other schools please invite me to one I’m fun to talk to I promise!!!

Hey guys, I just spent 20 minutes figuring out how to submit this secondary, and I finally figured out their error!

EVEN if you are submitting a letter packet/committee letter and you check NO on the "are you submitting individual letters" box, the text boxes below where you would specify WHO those individual writers are REMAIN MANDATORY. So you must still go into each of those boxes (yes, the boxes you specified you have no additional letter writers to add into) and type N/A or something in them; otherwise, the submit & pay button will remain grayed out.

Hope this helps someone!

I know every AI is built to just stroke off the user but yeah maybe that actually was the sharpest sentence in the whole essay and it really did deliver a brutal payload idk man did it make sense or not

Where are they at in verification queue? I submitted May 28th @ 1:52pm PST (4:52pm EST) and am not yet verified.

The idea that the committee letter is the letter that holds the most weight is so ridiculous imo. The person writing it barely knows me. I’m spoken to her a handful of times. So happy that you will read my application, LORs, and the comments made by the person in your dept. who interviewed me and give me some sort of internal ranking and recommendation tier. Like buddy, isn’t it the adcoms job to do that and decide if they recommend us? Why are you trying to do it on their behalf when once again, you don’t know me at all!

Disclaimer: I have no idea what the committee is going to rank me it could be a 5/5 or a 0/5, either way I still hate them.
