Interview not offered??

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>So I know that not everyone gets offered an interview etc. - and that it depends on the interviewers in your area and all that.</p>

<p>But I'm a little worried. My friend (who has also applied) received interview offers from both Princeton and Yale, and I've not got either email yet.</p>

<p>Does this mean that my application is possibly lower down already?</p>

<p>Do they tend to want interviews from the stronger candidates?</p>

<p>Sorry if I'm being paranoid, but any information would help!</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>You’re contradicting yourself. Re-read your first sentence. Your answer lies within. You asked the same question on the Pton board. Same answer.</p>

<p>You’re being paranoid.</p>

<p>My DS who lives 100 km from Toronto, Canada, got an interview offer at Princeton, but not at Yale. Plus Harvard and MIT (MIT = Skype as alum is from Montreal which is 5 hours by car).</p>

<p>thanks, you guys.</p>

<p>Haha, I do realise the paranoia suspicion was probably right.</p>

<p>Thanks for taking the time to answer anyway.</p>

<p>The nerves are understandable. The process of assigning interviews is not linked in any way to an individual’s likelihood of accept or reject. In my area, applicants outnumber volunteers so a portion are never interviewed – that’s just how it is. Good luck.</p>

<p>FYI. My husband is an interviewer and only yesterday got an email about who he has been assigned. This has nothing to do with the quality of applicant!</p>

<p>Is there a way to find out if we missed the interview assignment by Admission Office? Most people in my area have had interviews.</p>

<p>quantum: It’s EXTREMELY early in the season – be patient. I’ve not been even GIVEN a single assignment of post Dec 31 applicants. (Final reports aren’ t due until early March.)</p>

<p>Plus, New Haven doesn’t coordinate this stuff: no one there can answer you. It’s the local coordinator who knows if/when you’ve been assigned an alumnus/a</p>

<p>Be sure to check the email address you put on your Yale application. I’m sure there are students who think they were never contacted for an interview when they simply never check their email, especially their junk mail.</p>

<p>I also live in the Great White North but not Toronto and have only been contacted by Pton thus far. (They seem super on the ball!)</p>

<p>I think there’s plenty of time left for interviewers to contact you. In any event, I think that it’s best to stop worrying after submitting the app. You can’t do much to change it (unless you win a bunch of big awards RN). I think it’s best to let it go and now focus on the present.</p>
