[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking for tips as well.

If given an interview this early, what’s the likelihood of admission? Small undersubscribed interdisciplinary major.[/quote]

early or later doesn't matter.

Yale doesn't interview the auto-admits. They dont need more information on them. The academic superstars, the athletes they really need.They will sometimes interview the super donor just to make sure the kid isn't nuts.  They also don't interview the people who are not viable candidates. So out of every 100 candidate in the SCEA pool, they're not interviewing the top 5 or bottom 30. But... your kid probably had a good feeling they were not the top 5 or bottom 30. So things haven't really changed. Dont throw up any red flags during the interview is the main thing.

During the RD round, things are a little different because the pool is a little more all over the place. Now they're not interviewing the top 2 or bottom 50. So a good sign, but again probably not news.

They can also run out of time/interviewers during RD. That's not your kids problem and won't hurt their app.[/quote]
