<p>Question. Will late submittal (4 wk delay) of BGO interview delay acceptance decision. Concerned because I hear of many LOA's offers. Appreciate comments positive and negative.</p>
<p>Rolling admissioins dictates, w/ MANY variables that will minimize any predictability, sooner is generally better. In the mega pic. Simply noted, it’s better seeking a spot when 1200 or so are available than later when 300 are available. Conversely, to the degree your nominators delay the process for all in your region, you may not be at any disadvantage at all. Much may depend upon those other external contributor/factors and when they conclude their contributions to the process. </p>
<p>Absent being a “diversity” candidate, it would not appear you are a candidate for LOA in any case, based on what you’ve shared. Take comfort that the vast majority of candidates are not LOA candidates either.</p>
<p>Shorter answer…maybe not, you’ll never know.</p>
<p>It won’t matter. Commencing at the end of last year, CGO no longer holds up completed records pending an incomplete interview. If your record was of the quality that they were presently reviewing, it went before the board. WPM points for an outstanding or poor interview would be applied ex post fact o. Attributes noted by the interviewer not noted elsewhere by the board, if significant, would perhaps cause a second look.</p>
<p>Rolling admissions is a misnomer. All admissions are driven solely by nominations. Except for a few top Presidentials, the nomination slates must be complete prior to appointments being made. If the board is doing its job properly, the first record reviewed has no greater or less chance of success than the last one reviewed based solely on timing.</p>
