Scheduling late interview dates

...so if we did that, is it a huge mistake? I mean could a school fill their class without interviewing some students even if they already have an interview date set up? Or once the class is full, it's full regardless who is still waiying with dates. 😕 Also how can a class really be full until they know who actually accepted the acceptance? Why are people saying certain classes are already full? Yea i know, it could then go to the waitlist.... 😡

I think it's a bad idea Psycho. How late are we talking about? March? I'm sure schools keep a few spots open for the late interviewees... but you're really making it harder for yourself to get accetped. Although you're a really good applicant, so you chances of being accepted are still decent. When people say that certain classes are full, I think they mean that the school has handed out as many acceptances as they can (which can vary from a few more seats than they have, or 1.5 times the number of seats etc.), and will now waitlist everyone else until they find out who is actually attending thier school.

edit: if you're not mentally ready for the interview, then in that case, i understand why you would delay it. And as I said before, you're a strong applicant and you will still have a good shot of getting in. But don't push it back too much ok?

thanks, how about up to early Feb? I was actually getting concerned that some of my January interviews are already too late. But then again I was wavering between going on the January interviews in a not great mental state and possibly not interviewing well (again!) or putting it off until Feb or March, not kowing my mental state and possibly dealing with physical issues...in any case i think i'm totally screwed for any place I didn't already interview at. 🙁

February isn't too bad. So if you don't feel ready, then definely push your interviews back to February. I know you're dealing with a lot, and you don't need the added stress of interviews. I'm assuming these are all rolling schools right?
