<p>I sent in my application pretty late, still on time though. I believe I postmarked it on Dec. 31st.</p>
<p>A couple of other kids who applied RD from my school received interviews but they submitted their application earlier than mine.</p>
<p>What could my failure to receive an interview indicate? I am a fairly intelligent and accomplished kid and in comparison of my other school mates who applied, I would have to say that I am equal to them, if not better, in almost all respects.</p>
<p>If you have read any of the other interview threads then you'd know that there's nothing to worry about e.g. no interview = no indication on your admissions chances. They are randomly assigned and maybe the # of volunteers in your area got loaded up and no more slots were available.</p>
<p>Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Here's a very informative thread about how they are assigned and why some kids don't get them

<p>Maybe the alumnus that was assigned to you simply forgot to contact you.</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses.</p>
<p>I wasn't interviewed, but I still got in.</p>
<p>It's not a big deal at all.</p>
<p>no fears. Interviews are not mandatory with Yale. More relaxing for applicants unlike Harvard's which is mandatory.</p>
