[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Yale is still scheduling interviews for EA. [/quote]

Good to hear. Should students be expecting to hear in the coming week?[/quote]

It continues to depend on when the Admissions Office sends them out. I just got another applicant added to my list today, so I just sent the email out. So it's not too late, but remind your kids to keep checking their inboxes -- the window to accomplish the interview is still tight. I think that the window for the AO to send them out to an interviewer is tomorrow, so that means it could still take another couple of days, but I've also gotten "red hot can you take one more on pretty please" notes even past the official end date. I'm presuming it means that the kid has made the it past the first pass and is not a hyper-obvious accept/reject. [/quote]

I will add more thing in, that I noticed that since they started this new system, I have had more candidates I interview get in (not all of them, but more than one in the cycle) than I used to.  So I think they really are looking for something or to get a human impression of the candidate. It's an audition, so to speak, so have your kid make sure to put their best personality foot forward.  So many kids look alike on paper -- I see the alumni complaining about "this kid was so great, and they didn't let them in, they didn't listen to meeeeeeeee", but when you do so many over time, you realize how many qualified, stellar kids are out there and there is a kind of sameness, just at a really high level.  I don't envy the final deciders having to make the call. [/quote]

Still no Yale interview for DC. Assuming the interview window is shut by now. Hoping again hope that this means that DC submitted a very solid file (and hasn't already bene rejected).[/quote]
