Do they ever start reviewing completed applications before the deadline?
I feel this depends on the school. I can see them trying to get ahead of the curve and starting to do reviews earlier so that it’s not mad house but it usually is a madhouse 😂
Usually when it comes to interview invites, they don’t do a full application review. There’s just no way. Also, if they had done the reviews, then they would not have to wait all the way until December to release the decisions. A quick review for interview invites and then a full review after the interview before the decisions.
I can also see them doing full reviews for some folks and cursory reviews for others.
For example, you may get high score and strong brands on the résumé. That’s a winning combination.
Then you have someone with a low score great experience they have to dig in more to see if they’re going to take a risk on that person. You also may have someone who has a high score but a really shallow profile so they have to dig in deeper to evaluate the quality of the profile before they waste their time interviewing them and other folks have a horrible profile and horrible score
