No interview planned yet, simply want to see if you guys think its even worth applying at this point in time. I understand demonstrated interest is very important. If I get a positive response from my counselor and on here, I’ll probably take a trip to WF. They are also visiting my school, so I’ll hop in on that too. I’ll start communication between myself and my admissions counselor, etc. I just want to see if its even worth putting that effort there.
As I said, I can give more information if needed.
Thanks!
