<p>I’m applying RD, but how did you guys do your essay? It seems really short. Only 200 words? </p>

22

<p>@vballgurl‌ Is that something they do often? </p>

23

<p>@Hawkace‌ Yeah just need to be concise </p>

24

<p>@jsands99‌ I think if your junior year was weaker than your soph or freshman year, they might. I’m not sure though</p>

25

<p>Will selecting econ as my first choice program hurt my chances of admission since so many people are doing it?</p>

26

<p>I can’t imagine that’s a major factor. @ayetee123‌ </p>

27

<p>Whats the usual number of applicants for early and number they accept from early?</p>

28

<p>@ayetee123 check the common data set </p>

29

<p>Is anyone sending in a video? Particularly if they already had an interview?</p>

30

<p>My S is not sending a video. He interviewed and feels that was enough. t probably can’t hurt to send one though.</p>

31

<p>Isn’t the video for people who didn’t have an interview though?</p>

32

<p>for people who did the video, what did you guys do?</p>

33

<p>BTW does CMC defer a lot of applicants</p>

34

<p>Hey guys, when do you get an email regarding your application status and access to the portal?</p>

35

<p>@Hawkace‌ About 4 days after I submitted. I’m using the video supplement as an opportunity to show my musical talent, as CMC doesn’t accept an arts supplement. </p>

36

<p>what did you do with the video??
Did you record yourself playing the instrument?</p>

37

<p>Hi, guys, I’m an international student and I applied ED1 to CMC. I didn’t have an interview but I don’t know how to anwer the question effectively.
Paraphrasing the writing supplement is acceptable? or such a video is a good chance for me to demonstrate English proficiency?
Thanks for any advice.</p>

38

<p>yoflat, I suspect the idea behind the video is to allow applicants that couldn’t interview to present themselves. I doubt they just want a restatement of the supplement though.</p>

39

<p>I had an interview and I felt like a video would help me further convey what I’m passionate about but I didn’t have it done in time - should i bother submitting it late?</p>

40

<p>@vballgurl‌ You already had an interview, so a video wouldn’t help any further. I would hold off, but if you really want to submit it, then go ahead. </p>
