No interview?

<p>I really wanted to do one so I checked the box.. I know I did because, in addition to making sure if nothing else that I checked that box, I got a letter telling me it was good that I applied for an interview and blah blah blah..</p>

<p>Yet, I never heard from any Alum or anything, and when I called they said my interview would come by phone. I was somewhat disappointed, but even that never came.</p>

<p>So now I'm stuck here wondering, since I consider myself a reach applicant, is the interview really important for the decision committee? Will they at least see that, even though they received no interview information, I at least applied for one?</p>

<p>thx in advance for feedback</p>

<p>Interviews are not important, my S was admitted without one.</p>

3

<p>Agreed. My son was admitted without one.</p>

<p>I din;t get an interview so I sent in an e-mail to the effect of "I'm sorry I had the chance to say Chicago is my first choice"</p>

5

<p>There are no available alumni in my area. When I called, they said not to worry about it since it's really more of an information session than anything else.</p>

<p>thx all for clarifying.. No more worries that it'll be "the reason" lol</p>

<p>still though, I'm reluctant to think it's completely meaningless to adcoms.. I just hope that, at the very least, they see I applied for one</p>

<p>That is relieving news :) I didn't have an interview either, and I thought they were very important for UChicago. I guess it still carries some weight, but it's not the end of the world.</p>
