Just wondering if anyone has wanted to do a second look and the program told them not to bother? I want to do a second look at one of my reach programs but I don't have much money left, so I want to use it well. If a program does not have any intention of ranking you highly or at all, will they tell you not to do a second look or at least indicate that its not worthwhile?

thanks

I can't speak for other program directors, but I will inform applicants who won't be ranked about their status when they call to arrange a second visit. It isn't fair to let an unranked applicant needlessly spend time and money on a second visit.
