[quote=Anonymous]A few thoughts reading through this thread:

- Alum interviews matter for Georgetown. But, as interviews are required, I wouldn't be stressing about submitting the RD app early.

- Northwestern no longer does interviews, beginning with the current admission season.

- Most schools that still do interviews are top schools, many of which do not consider demonstrated interest.

- As pointed out in another thread, colleges not only have the date of application submittal, but also the date that the student added the college to the Common App. Some people think the date the college was added to Common App may be considered as an indication of interest. While on the surface that sounds like a stretch, it's not hard to imagine that the data point could potentially be included in a college's yield algorithm.

- As pointed out upthread, there are some schools where it is necessary to submit an RD app early to be eligible for merit. This is important reason to submit early for these specific schools. Make sure you've looked at the merit scholarship pages for your schools.

Other than specific schools that require submitting early for merit, it seems to me that submitting RD apps early would be a waste of money if the student also applied to top-choice early schools with results that release in December.[/quote]
