cannot find alumni for interview :[

<p>I'm applying to Rice interim decision, so obviously, the deadline for interview request is today. Being the horrible procrastinator I am, I contacted the alumni. One told me that her schedule is too tight, so she can't do it. I have not been able to contact the other two, and the fourth person has yet to call me back. </p>

<p>Looks to me like I won't get an interview.. How much will this affect my chance of getting in Rice?</p>

<p>I would try calling the office of Admissions and informing them of your situation. From my experience, they've always been helpful and understanding. Perhaps they could even find others in your area who aren't listed, but would still be able to interview you. Of course, when you speak to them, don't give any indication that you feel your procrastination was the causee. You don't want to give a negative impression of yourself.</p>

<p>Anyway, hope this helps, and good luck.</p>

<p>haha, i managed to arrange one, despite his and my tight schedule. yay!</p>
