By the way GTREV07, Chatham do not offer interviews. They use holistic approach and mail out the acceptance letters to the BEST FIT candidates by the end of this year or early next year. Its a long wait considering most other schools be done with their selction process by then! But, Chatham is worth the wait, though! Love the PBL program~

I'm just as excited as you and anxiously waiting on a reply from Chatham as well, but just curious, how do they use a holistic approach to review potential candidates?
