Can someone provide admission statistics for Yale SCEA?

<p>My D is planning to apply to Yale SCEA for Engineering. I would like to get some information about the average statistics of the early accepted group. I’m unable to find this information on Yale website. </p>

<p>Also does onsite interview help. I heard Yale provide onsite interview for the senior class. How does that differ from an alumni interview.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I’m not aware of any stats that delineated EA admits from RD admits. The stats they publish are aggregates of those who matriculated.</p>

<p>Onsite or alumni interviews are given equal weight – almost nil.</p>

3

<p>Are you sure that interview doesn’t play any role? MIT is very clear on the alumni interview stating the acceptance for the applicant who doesn’t have interview is mere 6%</p>

<p>I can only speak about Y. The interviews come into play to add texture to the file or provide context if teacher recs are lacking. I understand that some other schools (like MIT) look at it more carefully</p>

<p>So it is not important to have the interview for Yale application.</p>

<p>This is what their website says:</p>

<hr>

<p>While ASC interviews are available in most parts of the United States and in many other countries, there are places where we are not able to offer them. If an alumni interview is not available in your area, do not worry. It will not hurt your chances for admission. Each year many candidates are admitted without the benefit of an interview.</p>

<hr>

<p>I thought it means that if an alumni is not available then it doesn’t affect which will be same as said by MIT.</p>

<p>It also has this:</p>

<hr>

<p>If you are offered an interview with an ASC member and have not had an on-campus interview, the Admissions Committee encourages you to meet with your local Yale alumni representative. </p>

<p>MIT =/= Yale</p>

<p>As stated before, “interviews come into play to add texture to the file or provide context if teacher recs are lacking. I understand that some other schools (like MIT) look at it more carefully.”</p>

<p>Interviews don’t mean much at HYP. There are so many interviewers across the country, many of whom signed up for no other reason than to feel connected to their alma mater. A lot of interviewers have trouble differentiating between a high school standout and someone who actually has a good shot at being admitted. Colleges understand this, and they consider the interview accordingly.</p>
