Come on, we are SMART people here!
..
If I were adcom, my system would be:
1.) Accept: OMG I need these people, and I know other universities would think they are also valuable.
2.) Waitlist: I see their potential, but I need them to show me that they see it too by reapplying.
3.) Interview: These are people with potential, but I need to confirm it.
4.) Not Interview, Ding: These are people I like, but need to reapply because anyone who is attracted to this school is worthy of my serious consideration.
Or am I being optimistic? to include myself into the "Not" section because I know I don't have a chance.
Or am I being pessimistic because I don't think that even I have a chance, yet I include myself into the "Accept" 'definition'?
Excuse my being 'emo' again... haha
congrats to everyone who received an interview! here is my white flag lol
But ignore my heartbreak because seriously, congratulations. ! Definitely earned
my respect.
What does everyone else think? How do you 'feel' that their system works?
