Anyone else do this? I applied pretty late (late late December). After finding out that the priority interview deadline (December 20) had passed, I thought the proper thing to do on Common App was to simply mark no when it asked if I would like an interview. Thoughts? Will this have an adverse effect?
No, because the interviews aren’t required and you are welcome to send a third recommendation instead. However, seeing as how Duke is hyper-competitive an interview might be in your best interest. If you can, call the admisisons office an ask to be connected with alumni relations, who may still have interview spots left.
