I recently applied to around 11 schools, 9 of which are private schools. I got one interview request from a Yale alumnus, but none from the rest. All of my friends are getting multiple… is this a bad thing? When should I be getting notified for an interview? (RD) I am so nervous haha!
It is normal to be nervous. Most school interviews are not important because they can’t offer it to every applicant. They also do not offer it to only “qualified applicants,” most of the time it is really dependent on how many alumni they have around your area.
A lot of schools are cutting down on interviews, since there are so many applicants. Some schools have gotten rid of them all together. It honestly depends on who is in the area and the time slots they have. Make sure you don’t have to request and interview, some schools won’t set them up automatically. Don’t be nervous, there are thousands of students who don’t get interviews at T25s and still get in.
