I'm sorry if it seems like I'm venting, but I guess I am. We just got through another set of interviews, and I'm frustrated.
Our program had over 600 applications this year. That is a lot of reading. A lot of screening. There were many applicants that were turned away. Many of them were good.
There also were many last minute cancellations. Hey, I don't mind if someone has a change of heart. But canceling the day of, or the week of, just isn't right. Those are spots that someone else could have used. Honestly, it's selfish.
How can programs pay for hotel rooms if a good percentage cancel at the last minute?
And figure this..... someone comes to New York from Philly. sits down in the room for 5 maybe 10 minutes, then leaves?
Do I smell that bad?
I'll check back after my shower.
