<p>Also, remember the ASC page is directed at alumni, who want to feel their contributions are important (and indeed the interviews and/or follow-up phone calls or receptions may be genuinely helpful in recruiting). If you look at the FAQ for applicants, the answer to “What does Yale look for?” doesn’t even mention interviews as a factor (<a href=“http://www.yale.edu/admit/faq/advice.html[/url]”>http://www.yale.edu/admit/faq/advice.html</a>). And the answer to “Are interviews required? Are they evaluative?” is awfully vague in addressing the second question: <a href=“http://www.yale.edu/admit/faq/applying.html[/url]”>http://www.yale.edu/admit/faq/applying.html</a>.</p>
