WashU offered Interview after submitting application?

Hi everyone,
Is it normal for WashU to offer an interview to me after I have applied? I sent in my application before November, and received something in the mail in December saying that they would like to offer me an interview. I’m just wondering if everyone gets this offer, or if it is because I am a good candidate and they want to learn more about me?
Thanks

How serious are you about WashU? If you are, take the interview. Don’t worry about what is might mean for other students. This is an opportunity fir you to sell yourself a bit more, and for you to learn more about WashU.

I would have the interview. Admissions obviously thinks that you are a viable candidate.

@swimchick868 DS received an email from an alumni saying WashU is requesting an interview. Did yours come from admissions or direct email from an alumni? DS is going to interview.

IIRC interview emails are generally from alumni. There is an organization of alumni and family of WashU students (part of the school) that runs the interviews off-campus.

@Hamurtle Thank you!
