[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interviews more generally for RD. Yale says it interviews kids in the gray area between clear admit and non-admits. Got it. Gtown says it interviews everyone. Got it. But Harvard’s website (quoted below) now sounds a lot like the Yale approach. And Duke tries to interview everyone who applied by Dec. 20 but we haven’t heard. The schools always say it’s based on alumni availability, and there are lots of alums in the DMV. Any sense of percentage they actually interview AROUND HERE? And if Harvard is only interviewing on-the-fence-about applicants?

“Applicants are assigned interviews at the discretion of the Admissions Committee, based, in part, on availability of alumni in your local area. Nearly 10,000 alumni/ae volunteers help us recruit students from all 50 states and around the world, but most areas do not have the capacity to interview all applicants. Your application is considered complete without an interview and will receive a full and thorough evaluation. In most cases, the Admissions Committee has sufficient information in the student’s application materials to reach an admissions decision. If the Committee would like more information about a student or has questions about any application materials, someone may reach out to schedule an interview.”[/quote]

My DC was interviewed by a current Yale student in the middle of March. Many people on College Confidential said it was a good sign. DC felt good but not great about the interview but was rejected. [/quote]
