Hey fellow SDNers,
I feel as if I might be acting a little neurotic but I wanted to know the humble opinions of the community regarding my current predicament....
At the moment I am staying abroad with my granny as her full-time caregiver. I'm making the most of my experience everyday but when I look at the bigger future picture It starts to stress me out.
Now.. I may be ahead of myself since I am currently in the middle of finishing my secondaries and don't have any IIs to my name, however, I'm really beginning to think that if I stay here until mid-November, like I originally planned, that I will be definitely hurting my chances by restricting my interview availability until late November
My real question is how does an admission committee view an applicant that mentions in their secondary that they will be away during the interview season? Do they bypass the applicant and leave them to be considered at a later time? Would they take into consideration that someone was abroad and not hold it against them in the process? It is possible for me to maybe come back a little earlier by paying to change my flights around but if it'd be worth it to give myself the best chance... I would do it in a heartbeat.
Has anyone ever been in this situation before and how did it play out? All feedback is appreciated
