hypoallergenic received invitations for interviews with alumni from both Northwestern and Wash U. She scheduled one with Wash U but Northwestern's time slots were full. Wash U's was today, at a private high school in the metro Detroit area. It was a lovely set up. They had cookies and water bottles in the main area and then interviewers were meeting with the young men and women 1:1 in classrooms. They had some parents of current students present to chat with parents who were waiting for their students. I enjoyed talking with the parents a lot while hypoallergenic was in her interview. As we walked into the building, I noticed that Northwestern was doing their interviews there also, which was a surprise. One of the other parents there said a friend of theirs hadn't been able to get scheduled for a Northwestern interview but stopped by there today and they fit him in. When hypoallergenic came out of her interview with Wash U., I told her that story and asked her if she wanted to stop in to their room and let them know the time slots were full when she tried to register but she wondered if there were any cancellations. They interviewed her
She enjoyed both interviews, but clicked with the interviewer from Wash U. more. She was very excited to find out from the Northwestern interviewer that their marching band doesn't have auditions and their practices are from 4 pm - 6 pm rather than early in the morning so she has decided that if she goes to Northwestern, she will do marching band. Then she said "He said there is a sorority just for music people!" I told her what I knew about SAI. She sounded quite excited at that prospect.
Oh yes, she added Wellesley to her list also and applied there shortly before their deadline. One of her closest friends has been accepted there and will be swimming on their swim team and there was no application fee so... *shrug* why not?
So, we have about 2.5 months to wait now. I don't remember it taking so long when I applied.. I think Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan must have done/do rolling admissions because I think I found out pretty quickly.
