<p>Hi Im applying to Duke RD, and Im trying to rush to finsih my application. The deadline for the app for the interview is tommorw. Should i finish my application while rushing, or should I take my time on finsihing my application, and forget about the interview? Will it look bad if I don't send it in by tommorw?</p>
<p>Don't rush your application. Although it is generally better to have an interview if possible, you don't want to have poor answers for the essay questions. </p>
<p>Also, the deadline isn't absolute; it's possible to get an interview even if you don't have the application in by 12/1. I sent mine out in mid-December and then requested an interview, which I was given in early February.</p>
<p>are you doing common app or duke app....b/c if your using duke's you only have to submit pt 1 by dec. 1st to qualify for an interview while the rest isnt due until january</p>
<p>hey class of 09'</p>
<p>how exactly did you schedule your interview.
like did you call them... or did they contact you?
i'm pretty much in the same position, sent my app yesterday but kinda want an interview... not sure if i should call admissions or whatever.</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>They contact you.</p>
<p>I didn't interview and got in. I don't think it's important at all.</p>
<p>I didn't have an interview either and I got in. Everyone else applying from my school did though. Guess it didn't matter.</p>
<p>So I sent in Part I of my application before Dec 1st, and they sent me a letter saying they received it. But, I never got any information regarding an interview.... I would like to have one too</p>
<p>i sent in by dec 1 also...still no word on an interview...theres plenty PLENTY of time though</p>
<p>I submitted my Part 1 in November and then a week ago a Duke alum emailed me about the interview.</p>
<p>Hey, I applied ED (this year) and got in and submitted my app well before the date required and didn't get an interview. I suppose it doesn't matter!</p>
