Hey guys. I’m quite disappointed that I was unable to schedule an interview with one of my top schools, Hotchkiss. I have an 89% SSAT, applying for FA and you can find my grades and EC’s on my other threads. My essays are pretty good and I had my language arts teacher review them. How is this going to affect my chances? I know the interview is an important part of the application 
just wondering if there’s any hope.
Sorry you couldn’t get one. DD was originally told no because we needed Skype and the only day available was during the last SSAT which she took, but they ended up adding another day. Did you request to be put on a list or whatever in case they do that again?
That said, when we thought she wasn’t going to get to interview, there seemed to be an overwhelming response that it hurts the process a lot. That said, the Hotchkiss application is quite personal - I think it was the most detailed in regard to finding out who my child is as a person of all the applications she completed. So that can only help without an interview.
Thanks for your response. It was quite comforting :’). My mom called Hotchkiss yesterday and they said they’re booked until the 28th, so I guess we’ll call again for a Skype interview. However, I emailed Hotchkiss and they said they’re unable to do any more off campus/ Skype interviews.
Anyway, Thanks you!
