LESS INTERVIEWS???
Started by pete6277
Most class sizes won't change (I heard increasing class size requires re-accreditation), so I expect they would interview the same amount of people relative to previous years.
Where did you hear that less people were being interviewed?

Nyu cut down interviews someone said that on the nyu thread.
I think I read it a couple of times on the interview thread.
Yes I heard that too about nyu
That's just probably NYU then, would assume most schools would stick to the same #'s and even less likely all schools are interviewing less.
Shouldn't be too different. We're all anxious at this point wondering why we don't have more interviews.
I heard that when I interviewed at UNLV also. They said last year they interviewed too many and waitlisted too many, so this year they were cutting back. I think the approach will vary from school to school and even for the same school it can vary from year to year. Things are constantly changing.

I just interviewed at UNLV and they said they're interviewing less people this year and having a smaller waitlist.

How do you figure? Larger enrollment may mean more $, but simply interviewing more people to fill the same # of spots costs them both time and money.
They're still getting around the same number of applications (so same amount of cash in supplemental fees) but they're interviewing less people so that they have to spend less resources and time on that. It's not like they're getting money from people spending money on plane tickets. Seems like a win for them.
This totally makes sense now.
You're right, I was thinking more of the supplemental applications (with fees) they hand out to the more serious applicants that they would like to interview.
