Quick question: does anyone have any advice on whether or not the full application (including student and parent essays) need to be completed before the interview (online) is conducted.
We have completed the initial application via Gateway and have been prompted to schedule interviews however we are still in the process of completing the essays. Thanks!
The application does not need to be completed before the interview

Definitely not. You will be behind the timeline if you wait until your application is complete to schedule. Start scheduling today.
I echo the others. No need to fully complete the application, and don’t delay scheduling the interviews.
Schedule it ASAP - things get really booked up.
Another tip: Do start initiating conversations by early to mid-November with the teachers you will seek recommendations from. Try to provide them with the recommendation links/forms by Thanksgiving. This will give the teachers a full month (at least) to get the recommendations completed .
