But I'm trying not to read into it too much. I don't think they would waste resources (external or not) interviewing us if they weren't actually considering us. I think I'm just going to focus on being proud of myself for even getting an interview.
[] Legallynotblondeee
17:02
@OtakuHotGirl: You're right. Yeah my person also didn't give me a chance to ask questions either.
MinorMakeshiftBasilisk
17:28
I had the same external interviewer. I personally don’t think it means much; she was taking a lot of notes, which gave me the impression that she was simply passing them on for faculty to consider as part of their review. So my read of the situation is that this is a resource issue, and not an indication of sending certain candidates to an external candidate.
MinorMakeshiftBasilisk
17:28
Could be wrong, of course! We won’t ever know
OtakuHotGirl
17:37
Agreed!

thanks both this makes me feel better

I also interviewed with Sarah and she didn't let me ask any questions. Glad to hear I wasn't alone haha
AcousticMessyBunny
14:27
just to add to people's reports - I also had an external interviewer, she was v nice and took lots of notes - she let me ask questions but warned me she might not be able to answer them v fully

Last two weeks we've seen people get ii invites within 7-10 or even 4 days of going complete. Any hunches on what this could indicate about the process? Seems different than the last view under the hood we got in the podcast episode with KH and MI from spring '23.
CivisRomanus
10:42
KJ not KH* (HLS admis. dean)
NiceKindlyBluebird
14:40
Considering the rapid iis recently, safe to assume those who haven't received ii and went complete before thanksgiving won't?
CivisRomanus
15:51
In my mind, theres eithewr a random algo assigning the iis
CivisRomanus
15:52
or you get like a first review and that person can recommend ii or not, only way it could happen that quick

early dec applicant over here who's been passed over in the jan and feb rejection waves but no ii — any speculation as to what they're up to with me?
TheDamnedestPostmaster
11:06
vegetable - its really hard to know. Don't assume you're out of the running though until you get a rejection. The consultants say they can predict outcomes pretty well, but never timing

*they're considering admitting (starting this cycle). Looks like IIs stopped going out several weeks ago, so I'd venture a guess that anyone who hasn't interviewed at this point is getting a WL or an R. But obviously there may be some waitlist movement (but not much lol, it is YLS).
