If you don't interview till Feb or March, are you always interviewing for a position on the waitlist?

sup dri...

if its a non rolling place then the chances are less likely you are fighting for a waitlist spot...

however if you are going to a school that rolls then its highly likely you are trying to get a waitlist spot unless you are a superstar.

thats why everyone makes a big deal and hopes for interviews early in the process (oct-jan)

so hows life been treatin ya?

My friend interviewed in April at MCV after calling them and asking if she was going to be taken off the interview hold. They told her they had a cancelation and interviewed her 2 days later and gave her an acceptance 2 weeks later. So some schools may still have spots open late in the game. It will just be the luck of the draw.

I have heard of interviews as late as april, but that is way late. I would say post-january you're pretty much interviewing for a spot on the waitlist. But since the majority of schools have a less than 50% yield (more than half of the class is off waitlist), interviewing for a waitlist spot isnt that bad of a situation.
