First pass: read interviewer private notes, interviewer accept/reject, student passion for working with interviewer, and listen to beginning of audio and skim audio. Goal with first pass: see if any of the below grounds for rejection hold, and begin to sort those who aren’t rejected into bins,
Second pass: for those who were not rejected on below grounds review initial application answers to answer questions here, and listen to full audio. Some students from second pass will enter into reject pile here for grounds Try to sort effectively into bins, and produce ranking
Third pass: for those final students in the ranking, unmask and modify bins as needed/swap students. Hoping for diversity numbers to match applications after unmasking. Come up with final list of 12.

Sort into 12 students and waitlist
Analyze distribution of final interviewees demographics, compare with results of selections and distribution of original interviewees
