bicycle--Your interviewer is full of it, unless he is the ASC Director for his region. ASC Directors may get results for all the applicants in the region the same day as the applicants, but they don't get them before. The only way a normal interviewer knows about whether his/her interviewees were admitted is if the interviewee or the ASC Director tells him/her. I have no idea what your interviewer is talking about.

Yale doesn't like to do phone interviews and may not do them at all. I can't say that they never do them, but if they do, it's VERY rare.

So I finally had my interview, after it had been postponed twice.
I think it went quite well, but that's just my feeling. My Interviewer was really nice and said right upfront, that there wouldn't be any right or wrong answers. She even asked me to email her, when I know where I'll end up.
The interview was in German, which helped a lot, considering that I haven't spoken English in quite some time. She didn't ask for any resume or anything only where she could get the Newspaper I wrote for.
It was actually really nice talking to her.

Okay.
So a bunch of kids from my school have gotten interviewed for yale and I have not been offered one. How do they decide which kids in our school are offered interviews... and is the fact that I haven't mean I may have been "put in the reject pile" already?

18--Look through this thread for my posts and T26's. There are many, many explanations of how students are selected for interviews. Short answer: somewhat randomly and depending on volunteer availability. It has no bearing on the strength of your application.

had my interview today...
before i went i googled my interviewer and saw a photo of him and well.. he looked quite stern and intimidating, so i was a little nervous BUT he turned out to be really nice and friendly. I think it went well overall and it only took about 35 minutes.
he didn't ask me anything about yale, just two or three questions about my high school...
a very easy interview  | |

18minutepause-
Don't give up hope- I only got called by my interviewer last night!! And when I interviewed for Harvard, my interviewer randomly interviewed me like two months before other Harvard applicants at my school got interviewed- this because all their interviewers were different and there are alot of Harvard grads in my area.
You will more than likely get a call soon from a swamped interviewer. Or just a procrastinating one.

Had mine on Friday, yay! It was excellent. She was big-time (great office building downtown...I wore a suit and somehow felt underdressed haha), but suuuuper warm and welcoming. She seemed to like me and said she'd rave about me in her report, and that she was "pulling for me!" So....yeah, good times.

I had my interview about a week ago, and it was quite incredible.
I don't think that Yale intentionally matched me to my interviewer based on interests, but we meshed really quite well. He was an organic farmer, I have performed extensive research in plant genetics; I'm extremely liberal and politically active, he was also very liberal and ragged on GWBush (they went to school together); he even ended saying that he "sees Barack in me" hahahahaha I got really excited from that.
Too bad the interview is just one teeny tiny bit of the entire application...hopefully a fantastic review from the interviewer could push me over the edge into the 'admit' pile?
hopefully...

had my interview today. It took about 35 minutes. She told me about the residential halls, etc. Asked me about my activities, my interests. I think it went good overall, but realistically speaking, I need a miracle to get into Yale...

btw. if your interview is in a Starbucks. You can go there early and buy yourself a drink, so you can avoid the interviewer's question about if you want a drink.
I went in 20 minutes earlier, and saw her interviewing another person. Its easy to identify your interviewer, because you can hear words like "freshman" in their conversation.
