To Be Interview or Not to be Interviewed--is that the question?

2/12

On the phone with T today we review the latest news. Her son hasn’t been invited for a Brown interview, A has. Does this mean anything? She makes the leap (as I would) that this means that her son is already in the “denied” pile. More realistically, I suspect, it means that the interviewer assigned to him simply dropped the ball. Or does it? On the one hand, I want to believe this. On the other, these schools can’t possibly interview all 20,000-whatever candidates that apply. Can they? Again, another big unknown. It might mean something, it might not.
