....of people they interview? Before ranking time? I mean an in-depth review. Just curious, since some of the places I've been to interviewed 4-500 people. Or is that what interviewers are for? Some of my interviewers clearly only gave a cursory glance at my dean's letter, transcript etc, so it makes me wonder if there's a chance that no one will end up reading parts of my application (not that it's necessarily a bad thing, whatever. just curious.) 🙂

Like you said, this depends on the interview numbers and the program director. If the program director is personally interviewing 500 applicants, I would be surprised if she read all of them.

Let me ask you, do you look at every woman that flashes her t*ts at you? Okay bad example.

🙁 I'd like to think I am not t*ts. . .

I know the PD at my school reads every application, but not necessarily before inviting you for an interview. He reads the application the night before that persons scheduled interview.
