<p>I applied to yale EA as an Australian and guess wot? an alumni contacted me for a telephone interview because he lives in a different state to me. Now as if a normal interview is not nerve-wraking enough,what on earth is a telephone interview?!!! im really bad on phones:'( like, really bad!! GREAT. You think that they will have an interviewer from Melbourne, not some dodgy vineyard state!!</p>

<p>"I write to offer you the opportunity of being interviewed. </p>

<p>Although I live in Adelaide, I can interview you by telephone if you live elsewhere. I have done many telephone interviews, and they are quite acceptable to the Yale Admissions Office. I had the pleasure of interviewing a successful applicant by telephone for the class of 2009 last year, and I think it fair to say that in we both enjoyed our 45 minute ‘chat’ by telephone."</p>

<p>The guy does all the interviews for Aus and NZ…</p>

<p>Has anyone ever done a telephone interview before? i didnt know they existed!! <em>grumble</em></p>

<p>You don’t need to do the interview. Yale won’t hold it against you if you don’t interview, although a good interview could tip the scales if you are a borderline case. Plenty of applicants decline to interview.</p>
