<p>Ahhhhh
I called anyway!</p>
<p>The lady sounded a little tired to hear my question. I hope I didn’t make things worse. She said that I could send in another essay or whatever to add to my file.</p>
<p>Oh well. All I can do is just cross my fingers and pray for the best.</p>
<p>Hey soyamoo - I work in admissions (and worked there over break, although I am home at the moment), so hopefully I can appease some of your fears. :)</p>
<p>Two things: one, they’re probably just stressed from a lot of last-minute apps, and calling definitely won’t make things worse by any means. Everyone who works there is very nice and if it was who I think it was (I have the schedule) then she was probably just a little stressed, don’t worry at all. It won’t hurt you.</p>
<p>Second, you can definitely send in an extra essay and it will be indexed to your file and looked over when they’re reviewing your application.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about the interview - it counts for very little. I’m a little surprised that an interviewer would be that rude/unfocused, but I don’t think it matters. If it’s really bugging you, you can certainly call (I’d wait til January; term starts January 3), but seriously - it won’t hurt you.</p>
<p>I think I’ll just sit tight and wait for the admissions decision to come. For the additional essay, can it be one that I wrote for a different school? It just reveals some of my interests/hobbies etc etc. I’d be delighted to write another “Why Carleton” essay, but I think that’s overkill.</p>
