The title says it all… I’m extremely stressed about this but I don’t think there’s anything I can do because it’s past the deadline now… Would an email of interest just to talk about why I’m interested in Wake and as questions mean anything?? How much does the lack of an interview hurt my application?
I wouldn’t worry now, there’s not much you can do about it. If you want, you could email asking for an interview, explaining that you missed the deadline but would really like to meet someone to talk. But personally, I doubt an interview is going to make or break your application. Most interviews are held just to make sure the applicant can hold a conversation. They’ll accept you if they believe your qualified regardless of whether or not you had an interview. Hope this helps!
An interview report is more than yes, he can chat. If you missed the deadline, there’s time to email and note your interest. Do it intelligently and concisely. If it doesn’t happen, adcoms will still give you a fair review.
Interviews are conducted for a variety of reasons chief among them being applicant interest & an assessment of fit.
My son didn’t interview and he got in so you don’t have to have an interview to be admitted. Good Luck!
