<p>Well im one of those who yale cannot seem to send alumni abroad to interview.I know that it says that it doesnt really weigh much but im just worried that i wont be able to get in the subjective parts of my application to the admissions officer's desk....
are there anyother international students who have not got opportunities for interviews? and what are u guys planning on doing to get them to know you better as an enthusiastic applicant? lol
actually this also goes out to those international students who have all gotten in even without interviews- i mean what did u guys do? sit...wait and watch? but i just cant seem to sit still..i kinda feel helpless at this juncture!</p>
<p>Hey!</p>
<p>I really don't think that you should worry about it. Yale says it's their responsibility to get that interview. If anything, just send a calm and friendly note to the admissions office about how you would like to get an interview if possible.</p>
<p>If it makes you feel better, I got in w/o an interview and I still don't even know my regional admissions officer personally, even though she went down to Mexico twice (I was not around during those days). Essentially, I had no personal, one-on-one contact with anybody from the Yale admissions officers before Bulldog Days.</p>
<p>I don't think that's the norm at all for U.S. kids, but since it's more difficult to get interviews for us "int." students, they're willing to rely on the essays/recs to do their "character judgments" or whatever it is.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>ahha thanks bulldog,what a sigh of relief!
whats ur major at yale and hows life there in general? i mean as an intl student hows the experience going down with you?</p>
