<p>Hello Dean J! I'm an international applicant in China. Recently, I received a telephone interview from UVA (although the website said an interview is not part of the evaluation). </p>
<p>What makes me feel confused, is that a friend of mine who did not receive the interview got the likely letter, while I did not get it. I am aware that the likely letter is sent to very limited number of applicants, but I'm still curious about the telephone interview. Could you please give me some information about the interview, say, is it selective? who are chosen to receive the interview?</p>
