[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consult with your regional admissions officer or whoever assigned you the interview. If you have been flexible on times to make it fit in and they still are wishy washy, let the school handle it. If they are really interested they will do something like a phone interview or decide the file is complete enough without it.

However, this is what an admissions officer said to me several years ago when I was trying very hard to get one of my assigned interviews done with a candidate all over the place on timing, responsiveness, etc. and I had been extremely flexible on times/format/location etc. The problem was not something like “my parent just died/im competing in the Olympics in two weeks” but just random crap.[b] “It’s fine, if the candidate doesn’t have the maturity to figure out how to get this done, they’re not a good fit for this school anyway.”[/b] That was the university talking, not the alum.

This is what I have meant in the past when I have pointed out that the interview may not get you in, but it can absolutely keep you out.[/quote]

this didn't happen. [/quote]

Heh. I think you wish it didn’t, but it did. No one wants your snookums in their elite school as much as they want to get in. The AO picked up the communication with the student and their school from there.[/quote]
