<p>and bandnerd i got my semifinalist stuff in the mail about 2 weeks ago, but it was dated Nov 17. Im from the midwest.</p>
<p>Question:
Once you’re a semi, does basically everything ride on the interviews, or are they still considering your scores/essays/application?</p>
<p>i think from there its your recommendations, resume and interview</p>
<p>resume meaning everything, basically?</p>
<p>well a regular resume . . . </p>
<p>i dont know what you mean</p>
<p>Lilshamz:The resume format that D received looked like a a standard one page format to aid the interviewers. Really didn’t leave space for elaboration. She has already been contacted by the area committee head. Received a X-Mas card from a local alum as well. Nice touch.</p>
<p>Now that they will have the remainder of your documentation, in addition to poise, they will also be looking for veracity and puffery.</p>
<p>Got it. Sorry, misread the earlier statement. Thanks</p>
<p>Everything is still considered. No reason to wipe the slate clean, is there? Someone with an amazing leadership record should still get credit for that, I would think. The interview and recommendations are important, but so is everything already turned in.</p>
<p>like i said, your resume, recs and interview. </p>
<p>your grades and other reported information have brought the applicants this far and now its really who you are that will do the rest. </p>
<p>at least in my opinion. </p>
<p>goodluck everyone!</p>
<p>my regional coordinator told me that they base selection on total accumulated “points” that they assign to certain things. for example, he said that the interview was worth 15% of the entire “score”</p>
<p>yup. </p>
<p>at the end the highest scores are selected as finalists.</p>
<p>@H5N1: I’d love the whole breakdown if you’re willing to share.</p>
<p>That’s all he told me. 
Do they count the resume as part of the evaluation? I thought that the sole purpose of the resume was as a tool for the interviewers to have a clue which way to direct the questions or something.</p>
