<p>hookem: does your friend live near to you?</p>
<p>Also, me and one of my friends at school applied to Yale 12/30-12/31. I received an interview invitation on Sunday night (Jan 4th) and he received his yesterday (Jan 6th). We both go to the same highschool and live near each other. </p>
<p>So don't despair if your friend gets one before you. It just works out that way sometimes.</p>
<p>he practically lives next door to me, lol</p>
<p>I haven't received anything; applied on the 28th December.
I wonder how long it takes for internationals to receive their eli-account, though?</p>
<p>Nothing for my son either, no confirmation of materials received or interview invitation. He's getting a little nervous about that.</p>
<p>My friend and I are both in New Zealand, and we both got ours today, so for everyone in the US, it won't be long now.</p>
<p>Just wondering what use is there for an Eli account apart from checking our decisions? It doesn't let us track our application...</p>
<p>lol I found how to track application.</p>
<p>i live in CA and have still received NOTHING- NO LETTER, ELI ACCT., NOTHING. Is this cause to be worried since i see that some internationals have already gotten theirs?</p>
<p>^ same. Nada. Zilch. I'm officially concerned :(</p>
<p>I'm ok without an interview.</p>
<p>But no ELI acct...................</p>
<p>...</p>
<p>=(</p>
<p>Okay, this is how it works.
Your app is gotten and then sent to the admin rep in your area. He then sorts it out.
Different reps do different things, so do not worry at all.
You can expect this because it is regular decision.
This is the RD stress, lol. We would laugh over it come April.</p>
<p>hookem--I seriously doubt your friend's alumni status is why he got an interview. The local volunteer would have to know about it for it to make a difference. The university does not tell the local interview coordinators to give priority to legacy candidates or anything like that. The local coordinator would have to independently know about the legacy status because Yale wouldn't inform him orher.</p>
<p>I'm in Ohio, no ELI account, and no interview. I might call them on Monday if I don't get anything.</p>
<p>My son just got contacted by his interviewer yesterday! Hope you will hear soon, goldenrationphi. Probably good to call if you don't hear by next week.</p>
<p>If you think about it, not many people would have applied from Oceania (100 at most?), and therefore we got our accounts early. Don't stress everyone.</p>
<p>I was contacted by an alum for an interview but no ELI ID mail yet? wierd</p>
<p>still no account mail or contact made of any kind here in CA</p>
