Yes, a couple people from my high school in SoCal have (including me) but there are others who also applied and haven’t. I don’t think it means much. Some of the people who haven’t had an interview have higher stats and qualifications than some that have. I think a lot has to do just with availability. I wouldn’t worry as people get admitted without interviews and LOTS of people who get interviews get denied. Also, I think Yale is one of the schools that continues to interview into mid-March so there is a chance you may still get one. Good luck!

Does Yale try to interview everyone, or specific students they need more information about - is getting an interview a sign of anything at all?

No. And they are crystal clear on their website.

It’s a sign that they want more information about you.

Is there a hook needed to get the STEM related likely letter (e.g., low income, minority, athlete, etc.)? I doubt income would factor in. I was just curious if anyone knows. That is a huge blessing to receive one!

It’s probably based on the strength of the application? :grinning:

Interview for now :slight_smile:

My daughter does not have any of these hooks. From my understanding, likely letters are given to those students who they think other top universities are also chasing. So all these hooks (except legacy) could be counted as long as other universities count them.

My friend is unhooked in every way, so I assume not.
