<p>Ah, just as I asked that, I got contacted for an interview…now I can breathe easy.</p>
<p>Well, not really, because the actual interview part is nerve-wracking too…</p>
<p>I got contacted by phone AND email. Who knew? :P</p>
<p>Who hasn’t gotten an interview yet? I haven’t and some of my friends from VA/my school have. Does this mean something? I live in a different zip code from them if that means anything. Did I do something wrong? I thought I had a pretty strong resume… and I think I’d do well at an interview. Is there anything I can do to change this or am I panicking for no reason? When is the latest date for interviews to take place?</p>

<p>^calm down, it’s most likely because there’s too many applicants/not enough alumni in your area. i think you’re freaking out because you believe they only give interviews to applicants that actually have a chance, but if i remember your stats correctly (pretty sure i remember reading them somewhere), they definitely wouldn’t disqualify you from being considered.</p>
<p>@ rom: do you mind telling me whether you live in Toronto? I still haven’t been contacted and I’m starting to lose hope haha :(</p>
<p>Hi, I haven’t got an interview call. Is it too later to get an interview chance?</p>
<p>Does ASC director who schedules the interview know your details, or just randomly select who will be interviewed, or first come, first serve?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I believe Alumni Interviewers on this site have said they only know your name, intended major, and whether or not you’re applying early. So they should not know your stats.</p>
<p>i’m in ontario, but not toronto.
good luck!!</p>
<p>^^The interviewer only has basic information, but the ASC director who schedules all the interviews might know more</p>
<p>The ASC directors give out assignments to the volunteer alumni. They don’t have any more info than what they give to us. And it’s up to the alumni to schedule – not the local ASC director.</p>
<p>FYI: the applicants’ contact info gets sent to the ASC directors as soon as the file is complete in New Haven. Beyond an inventory that items are there, I’ll bet no one has even looked at the contents (transcript, score reports). They’ve certainly not been transcribed and passed along to the local directors – no time. And frankly, no need to do so.</p>
<p>^ So a possible reason for not being contacted for an interview yet is having part of the application missing?</p>
<p>Or more likely, there are no interviewers in your area and you’ll not be having one forthcoming.</p>
<p>But Yale admissions knows this and it won’t negatively affect you. If you truly were missing items in your file, you or your school would have been contacted most likely since time is closing fast on decision time. They wouldn’t just leave you hanging. Believe it or not, they’d love to find a reason to admit you. They don’t want you to have anything missing in your file.</p>
<p>Okay, this isn’t for Yale since I haven’t been contacted by the ASC yet but I am an SCEA’er. So that qualifies me to post my question here. :D</p>
<p>My interviewer for Wellesley has asked me to either bring a resume or email one to her. What do you guys think I should do? Would it be better to email one so that she can get a brief outlook of my EC’s earlier itself and we can focus on other stuff later during the interview or is it better to hand one to her on the day so that we have something to talk about?</p>
<p>^^ I was just wondering, because I found out on Monday that my school report was missing. It’s settled now, though.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Email it. That way the interviewer won’t spend time in the interview reading it. You’ll have plenty to talk about in any event.</p>
<p>Do not worry if your application is complete and you have not been contacted for an interview. For the metro Chicago area the number of applicants interviewed in the last admissions cycle ranged from 58% to 100% depending on what sub-region you lived in. As stated repeatedly, applicants interviewed do not have a higher acceptance rate than those not interviewed although I would not turn down an interview request since that will be reported to admissions. If you are offerred a couple of dates that don’t work for you, it is perfectly OK to let the interviewer know what days or weeks better work with your schedule.</p>
<p>Should I send a thank-you letter e-mail and/or letter to my interviewer like the day after the interview?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, if not sooner.</p>
<p>A week ago, my friends decided to play a thoughtful prank on me. They created an email account for a Yale “alum” named Richard Maguire. I received an email about scheduling an interview and I was elated. But then, they decided to reveal to me that this was merely a prank. Not very funny. </p>
<p>Today, I received an actual email from a Yale alum, requesting an interview. I find the prank to be much funnier now.</p>
