Applying on the deadline..
Posted: Thu Mar 18, 2010 4:43 am
After much deliberation on whether to wait until the next application cycle or not, I made a decision to submit applications on the day of the deadline (2/15), even though i knew that applying so late in the cycle would be really disadvantageous. And I went complete on the first week of March. As April is approaching I'm increasingly becoming paranoid and pathetic about my situation. I can imagine my file sitting in the bottom of the pile, not being reviewed on time.
I know acceptances are sent out in batches throughout the year, but are the majority of acceptances sent out in April like college acceptances are?
Should I just give up on this cycle and move on? I'm not talking about waiting for a decision here; I wish that was the only concern I had. I'm worried about the possibility that my application won't even have a chance to be reviewed by the adcomm because my file went complete so late in the cycle (March!)..
