No call or email to schedule an interview even though I applied on Oct. 23 for ED. Would it be safe to say I will not be interviewing and can submit an additional letter of rec? I was told by my AO that there were interviewers in my area. I also called the general admission office and they advised me to find my regional alumni chairperson and contact them? That seems a bit forward. Any insight would be appreciated!
Yes, most likely you will not be interviewed at this point. The evaluations are due in four days. It’s possible that you’ve been re-assigned to different people (based on them being unable to interview, nothing to do with you) and the final assignment just hasn’t reached out yet, but unlikely. In my area, the last person was assigned on 11/12 and that was after being re-assigned twice. I would feel safe submitting an additional letter of rec should you choose to do so. The regional alumni chairperson could also confirm it and he/she has nothing to do with the admissions process really, so contacting them would do nothing to your application.
Thank you, bluedog. I appreciate the time you took to reply. I attended the Duke Summer College, so I will contact my professor there for a quick recommendation to add.
