Importance of Interview?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Well I have my interview for Yale tommorrow at 2 PM at Starbucks. My question is, how important is the interview? Can it drastically sway an application in your favor, or is it just a way to get to know more about the college, ask questions, and say additional info not listed on your application? </p>

<p>I had an interview for Brown University and I heard it wasn't important at all (in fact, sometimes they barely even read the interviewer's leter) so I was wondering if it's the same for Yale.</p>

<p>I got in early without an interview, so it can't be 100%, if that's any consolation.</p>

<p>my interview was pretty lame and i got in early, so again, it can't be too important.</p>

<p>My interview was with a guy who is notorious as a jerk around town. He lived up to his reputation. I don't know exactly what he wrote, but I know he challenged everything I said to him and was unfriendly. I was deferred from Yale.</p>
