The way things look, I may/may not be in the country for the majority of senior. I kind of doubt I will be back in time for applications…
I’m wondering how much a lack of an interview will hurt one’s chances? I remember reading some where that a lack of an interview doesn’t hurt one’s chances, but I’m kind of doubting that. Its like the schools’ official stances on EA, they say it doesn’t help your chances, but I think the rift between the % of EA/D acceptances and RD acceptances is to big to be accounted for by a stronger EA/D pool.
If it really is that detrimental to my chances, I may end up just staying in the USA senior year.
And by the way, I’m not that much of a talker - I’m generally pretty quiet, so would it actually be beneficial just to NOT have an interview?
