<p>So I had an on-campus interview in New Haven in August last year, but yesterday a Yale alumni called me and told me that he will also conduct an interview with me. That one is tomorrow in Munich.</p>
<p>Does it mean anything that I got a second interview?</p>
<p>My interviewer actually asked me if I’d had an on-campus interview, and that it was then up to me to decide whether or not I’d like a second one. I think interviewers are not told if a student has had an interview yet.</p>
<p>Okay so it seems to be quite normal to have an alumni interview and an on-campus interview… whatever, I’ll just meet that guy tomorrow and chat a bit about yale, I don’t think this will hurt my application ;)</p>
<p>Alumni interviewers do know if you had an on-campus interview. If your region has adequate resources to interview everyone, then they will offer you an alumni interview. Presumably we won’t be assigned students for a second interview if we can’t even get to all the first interviews in our region. Since that is typically the case in my locale, I can’t recall ever seeing someone that already did an on-campus interview.</p>
<p>There must be many alumni from american colleges in the munich area, i had interviews for almost all the colleges i applied to.
I was just a bit afraid there was a mistake and i did not tell my interviewer because I was a bit confused (…and still sleeping) when he called^^</p>
<p>thanks guys now I can enjoy my beer and look forward to tomorrow :)</p>
