<p>So, I started my Lville application late, and it was too late for me to get an interview. They said that my decisions would be based solely on paper, and that if they wanted to know more about me, they might contact me. I just got an email saying that after reviewing my application, they would like to get to know me more and set up a Skype interview with me this Saturday. Does that mean they are interested?</p>
<p>Of course :).</p>
<p>It means that they want you enough at the moment to put the time into doing an interview to find out more abut you, so you look good on paper :)</p>
<p>Hi! Good job on your success so far! I also missed the deadline for an interview there, but I never got an email saying that they wanted more information. Does this mean that they’re not interested? Is everyone that is accepted either requested an interview or met the deadline? </p>
<p>But it’s indeed a great sign that they are interested in you!</p>
<p>I would assume that it is good, at least it can’t be bad. Despite the fact that you submitted a late application, you are lucky enough that they are considering you. This does not mean, however, that you have a great chance of acceptance. I do not want to give you any false hope. It simply means that you are a good candidate.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Whoa, nothing was said here about a late application. L’ville has very stringent deadlines about scheduling interviews . . . you can certainly submit a timely application even if you’ve missed the deadline for scheduling an interview. And if they decide they want to speak with you, as was the case here, they’ll get in touch.</p>
<p>What is it with you guys that you can take someone’s good news and manage to turn it so upside down??? 
</p>
<p>I didn’t submit a late application. I’m sorry if that wasn’t made clear.</p>
<p>“So, I started my Lville application late”</p>
<p>All I said is that he/she was a late applicant. I was not turning their good news upside down.
I was actually saying that in a good way, meaning that despite the fact that she turned in a
late application, they are still considering the hellolove, and considering her as a strong applicant since they are willing to use up their time to have an interview with her. Then, I said, it doesn’t mean that she has a great chance of getting in, which is true. There is nothing to indicative that she has a great chance.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A “late applicant” is someone who turned their application in after the deadline. The OP isn’t a late applicant. I assume that she (or he) just started their application a little later than others.</p>
<p>Prepschooler2011 - I’ve said it, Hellolove has said it, and starkali has said it: Hellolove did not turn in a late application.</p>
<p>I don’t care if you start your application at noon on January 30. If you get it in by midnight, you are not a late applicant . . . despite have “started the application late.”</p>
<p>There ought to be a sticky post up top that explains how, with very rare exceptions that don’t require speculation or mystical deciphering on the part of strangers, it’s pointless to try to divine “signs” and other secret-coded expressions of love from admission counselor communications as some sort of reliable foreshadowing of the results that get sent on or around March 10. It seems as if some people are crippled during the gap between posting their applications and getting the decisions. These threads are possibly more noisome than “chances” threads because there’s far less information shared and they ask strangers to seize on a single shard of information to predict outcomes that are hard to predict when the full file is front of an actual admission officer.</p>
<p>I understand with and agree with what you are saying, but I asked a sinple question. It wasn’t whether or not the admissions officers loved me, I was just asking if it meant anything significant. Given the information, someone should be able to state a simple yes, no, or something in between. I think it is a very simple question and doesn’t need all that it has gotten in the replies. I don’t think there is anything wrong with anyone posting these threads either. We are kids, we are young, it’s a part of the whole process.</p>
<p>Hellolove - </p>
<p>You’re quite right. Apologies.</p>
<p>Hey Hellolove,</p>
<p>I think that’s great that you got asked to do an interview. Do you know which one you’re going to interview with? I hear that if you get to talk to the Director, then that’s a really good sign.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s with the assistant dean of admissions.</p>
<p>Good luck, Hellolove. And I echo your sentiment. </p>
<p>I have been on this site now for years and just don’t understand why some posters (i.e., parent “experts”) feel the need to chastise kids on this board for wondering about various aspects of the process or trying to read tea leaves or divine certain quirks or signs as they encounter them, especially during this limbo period between submission and decision. What’s it to you? As Hellolove so aptly put it: They are kids. They are young. The boarding school application process is likely a very unique and new beast to them - how wonderful that the CC forum exists for them to question, seek advice, vent, wonder, commisserate, and, yes, fantasize to help them move through it all. If someone is in a poor mood or otherwise finds the musings of 14-year olds (or anyone else) noisome, annoying, or trying, it is a simple thing to ignore them or stay off CC altogether. I’ve seen this brand of rude, caustic wrist-slapping (shrouded in the form of candid advice) from certain posters too often of late and wonder why they don’t find new hobbies or something better to do with their time. It doesn’t add value. Carefully worded, supportive reality checks are super, but I think some of these posts amount to an insidious form of bullying generated out of boredom (or self-aggrandizement). Please try to refrain from banging on keyboards at young kids or parents trying to navigate this process. They don’t deserve it. And, BTW, such specious responses only dilute/detract from the helpful advice the adult posters in question have shared in the past. Peace out.</p>
<p>Hellolove, I started my app late as well and was just contacted with the same request.</p>
<p>So L’vile only arranges late interviews for applicants whose CC member names begin with “hello-”? </p>
<p>Good to know for next year . . .</p>
<p>Dodgersmom: HAHAHA… Good one!</p>
<p>Helloel: I started my application to Lawrenceville late as well. I ended up doing an alumni interview, but I wish I could have done the interview with an AO :/</p>
<p>Haha dodgersmom, exactly.</p>
