I can relate my interview to you. I signed up for one after I did a tour back in the fall. I wore khaki pants and a button-down shirt and a tie, but no jacket. Bring a copy of the resume, since the interviewer will read that before asking questions. It is a one-on-one interview that takes place in one of the smaller rooms by the admissions office. They will ask you basic questions like a job interview. It is very important to take your time when answering, even if it means taking a few seconds to think out your answer. You will then get the opportunity to ask questions of them. The interview probably isn't a make or break thing, but it can be useful for both the interviewer and yourself. For me, after my experience with the interviewer, I decided not to even apply, because I got a very bad impression from him and although it was probably unfair to judge the entire school off of this one person, it definitely turned me off to Fletcher, although looking at my admissions decisions, I probably wouldn't have gotten in anyways.

Hey everyone, I have been waitlisted for Harris School and was wondering what people knew about their system and if they accepted a lot of people off their waitlist. I have a little bit of confidence after reading this because it seems like a decent number of people got into Harris but decided to go elsewhere.

I'm 0 for 6 currently and am waitlisted but not really hopeful for the 7th. As others have said, evaluate each part of your application. I'm taking additional classes in areas that I didn't concentrate on for undergraduate but are touched on in graduate school, like economics classes to try to improve my gpa. I am looking at taking my GRE again, because I feel I can do better on my verbal section and am concentrating on that, since most schools will take the best score in each section. I will probably try to write some type of paper to use as my writing sample and take time to sit down and evaluate my recommenders to see if they really were the strongest possible people. I also made the mistake of applying to a lot of top schools during a time when applications increased everywhere and was competing against people who I couldn't beat. I am going to spread out my apps and focus not just on what schools have the best program but other factors like location and proximity to friends and family. Hopefully things go better next year.

Hey everyone, I was waitlisted for the Harris School and I was wondering if anyone has any idea about the waitlist system. It's my last shot at school so hopefully it works out, but I'm not very confident at all, since I was not really expecting to get in at all.

Along the same lines of getting rejected twice. I received my rejection email from GW in March and then yesterday received a letter from them. I didn't really know why they were sending me a letter, but I opened it to discover that they sent me a hard copy of the rejection. I guess my application was so terrible and offensive that they wanted to make sure that I understood that I wasn't good enough for them.
