<p>I JUST finalized my list (I know, it's a little late) of colleges I'm applying to and Rice made the list, as well as gained parental approval. However, I realize that the deadline for interviews was while ago. </p>
<p>Would it look bad if I decided to apply without asking for an interview? I thought about emailing the office, asking for an exception...</p>
<p>That was me. I still wasn’t entirely sure I would be applying to Rice on the deadline, so I didn’t get an interview either.</p>
<p>You’ll be fine, the interview in general isn’t a very important aspect of an application.</p>
<p>Interviews are optional and are used to enhance your application, to put a face to your paper app. You will be fine without an interview.</p>
