App reviewer’s fatigue and likelihood of II

[Engrailed]

Members don't see this ad.

I believe I have a ok/decent application but I submitted all of my secondaries in mid-late August. I know applications are not reviewed in linear order but it’s more likely that an app that is submitted in july is going to be looked at earlier than someone who submits in sept.

So if you’re on the later end (for whatever reason), is the fact that you’re being reviewed later more likely to make adcoms eyes kind of skim through vs really reading everything thoroughly?

Thank you🙂

...we're unpaid.
That's how you know it's an honor to serve.

It’s just because when you submit later the school has less II to send out

You are assuming that schools have only a limited number of reviewers/screeners.

Or a obligation of a faculty contract for committee work

Alas, our chairs can also view our time on this work as a loss to department productivity...

I'm having issues being complete by labor day....so I really hope this is not true. Although, I think the difference between being early and being on time is minimal compared to being on time vs late.
