Guys, I have a question that I hope somebody can shed some light on. I am an R3 applicant, I will be giving both my interviews over the next week.
Unfortunately, I need to inform my company whether I will be leaving in January by October 5/6. However, since the R3 decision deadline is October 15, I will not know by then. Is it reasonable to request earlier processing from my coordinator? Is this something they would be willing to do under these circumstances?
I would appreciate any inputs...thanks for the help!
You could talk to your coordinator about it. However they will probably use the standard company line that all admission packages will be reviewed starting October 1st once they've received everyone's interview reports. From what I understand, the saga might not end on October 15th and could get dragged out till later if waitlisted. You might be able to force their hand with an admit or nothing request... Still I feel they like to weigh all their options before they select students.
No harm in trying is my opinion... then again, that's just my opinion.
Good luck!
