Does someone getting a huge boost from a great interview, when they were otherwise a marginal candidate likely interviewing for the waitlist, happen with any frequency? Or is the interview far more likely to break someone than make them?
Do you think there is a major shift in what is being looked for regarding reseach/community service balance (not the presence thereof, but what percent of EC time they take up) when contrasting the more highly ranked, research heavy schools versus the more typical schools? More specifically, do you think such more typical schools would care less about research and would actually prefer more community service over more research to the point that they may look upon it disfavorably as "not a good fit"?
