<p>I applied EA and was deferred. But I still haven't had a chance to interview yet. I've contacted H several times since December but it's apparently impossible for them to find me an interviewer in my city (+1-3 hr. radius).</p>
<p>My friend, who resides in the same city, applied RD and has already interviewed. btw.. he has stellar credentials compared to my meager stats, but i hope that that doesn't have anything to do with him finishing his interview before I even get an appointment... does it?</p>
<p>what's going on? what a terrible way to exacerbate this already agonizing applications process!! =(</p>
