<p>I am applying RD to Yale. I have an itnerview scheduled and I was wondering what questions are asked. Thanks for any help.</p>

2

<p>Yale calls candidates to set up interviews right?</p>

3

<p>Yes, Yale will call if there is an interview available</p>

<p>Every interview/interviewer is different so be prepared for slight or major deviations from whatever answers you get on this post. Just go here: <a href=“http://www.yale.edu/asc/guidelines/interview.html[/url]”>http://www.yale.edu/asc/guidelines/interview.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Look at the section labeled “Good and Bad Interview Questions” for your answer. (This is a site for the alumni interviewers, not the interviewees.)</p>

<p>I must be nuts, with a Princeton and Yale interview on 1/17, but at least I survived the Harvard (accepted EA) one. Don’t sweat it, I actually enjoyed mine.</p>

6

<p>They’re usually pretty predictable, like Why Yale, but the one that kind of threw me off was “What social issue are you most concerned with?”</p>

7

<p>from sprezza’s link :
“How does Yale compare with Harvard (or any other school)?
We should not discuss or present information on another school. Talk about what makes Yale special and then encourage the student to gather information from other schools. Prospective students should make comparisons for themselves. NO HARVARD BASHING!”</p>

<p>funny how that last bit just had to be in caps, huh :D</p>

<p>nice link sprezzatura, thx</p>

<p>everyone should really study the ASC page…my yale interviewer borrowed heavily from their suggested approaches to the interview…i was well prepared, and kicked butt</p>

<p>woohoo, Yale 2009 (hopefully :o)</p>

9

<p>Yeah, I saw the ASC page a few weeks <em>after</em> my interview.</p>

10

<p>got my phone call tonight! One week from today, I’m gonna tear it up.</p>

11

<p>Mine was a grueling two hours long. I was quite thankful that the lady was Chinese like me and graduated from my high school. She mainly asked behavorial questions like “what would you do in this situation?” and she asked me to define a lot of adjectives I used to describe myself. She pretty much asked me to elaborate and get “profound” with anything I mentioned whether it be ECs or iPods.</p>

12

<p>Haha…</p>

<p>Yale, enlighten me-- how profound can you get while conversing about iPods? oh please.</p>

13

<p>It represents the diversity that is me! Rock, Alternative, Indie, Classical, Country, Korean, Mandarin, Japanese music. My iPod is a microcosm of Yale University. Man that was profound. Besides, you’re just jealous you have to bum me for my iPod all day long 'cause you don’t have your own.</p>

14

<p>reviving an old thread. Does anyone have a cached version of the old ASC interview pages?</p>

15

<p>yes yessss PLEASE</p>

16

<p>I have a question about Yale interviews. I submitted my app on Oct. 22nd or so, and got my confirmation email and pin in the mail. I have not been contected about an interview yet. If they haven’t contacted me yet, could it mean that I will not be recieving an interview? My friend from the same high school applied to Yale last year and got one… but that was RD, and I applied EA.</p>

<p>Anyone know about this?</p>

17

<p>It depends on where you live. If there’s not a volunteer network of alumni near you , you may indeed not get contacted. It’s not essential and Yale will probably have plenty of info to decide – best of luck to you.</p>

18

<p>Otherwise you might be in an area that has a lot of people applying.</p>

19

<p>Hmmm… my friend got one last year, so I know they have a network. I guess the question is, if they were going to give me an interview, would I have been contacted already?</p>

<p>That’s what I want to know! I live in LA… I know they’re here somewhere. Please call me, alumnus/a!</p>
