<p>Yale says they prefer it on-campus. But, it would save me a trip to CT to have an alumni interview instead. Any suggestions? Does this really matter?</p>
<p>Yale says it prefers oncampus? Really? Didn't know that. I've NEVER heard that. All and all, it's the thinnest slice of your application. Unless $ and time aren't issues, I'd do the local interview.</p>
<p>I think it's the other way around. Which do you prefer? To be interviewed by a student on campus or an alum locally? And yes, factoring in time and $ too.</p>
<p>we attended a group local info session this week with a Yale admit officer plus a local grad who interviews.
Yale employee/also an alum... was very clear that no one needs to travel to CT for an interview...and that local alum can sometimes clarify context about a prospective student with more clarity in a way that can add to an application or help put forth a student's real life in a unique corner of the USA</p>
