<p>CHANCES PLEASE !!</p>

<p>I know interviews are highly recommended at Holy Cross... will it hurt my chances greatly if i didn't have one?</p>

3

<p>Why wouldn't you want one????</p>

4

<p>its not that i didn't want one... it was just that i was never notified of the deadline until after it occurred. In my opinion it was quite rude of the admissions office to send me a letter after the deadline asking me to schedule an interview !</p>

5

<p>I would contact them and explain the situation. They most likely will grant you an interview and it shows interest on your part. Good Luck!!!</p>

<p>I'm a freshman here, so I totally understand the agony you're going through right now. I'd say your stats are very competative; you seem to be well-balanced. Not having an interview might hurt you somewhat, but I firmly believe your great GPA, class rank, and extra curriculars will make your application stand out. I wish you the best of luck!</p>

<p>DWerner87.....I am SUPER nervous.....do you know when you got your letter last year?? It seems like every other college is sending their letters out....when does HC start??</p>

8

<p>I received my letter March 30th... but it all depends on your mailing distance from Holy Cross... I live in Upstate New York so it took me a couple extra days to get my letter. Just for your information, the acceptance letters are a little bit bigger than normal letters, they aren't huge, though. Best of luck to everybody!</p>

<p>Thanks!!.....so that means they should be coming soon......</p>
