LLs and interviews aren’t correlated. It’s due to when Yale considers who is a LL candidate. Often it’s before the bulk of interviews are even offered. Sometimes, it’s early enough where they tell the alumni group:“Susie is going to get a LL” – usually this means the alumni group will put Susie on the back burner or not even offer an interview at all – since her decision has already been made. Sometimes, they’ll ask us to interview the LL holder as a means to further sell Yale. I did this once for an indifferent girl who already had a Harvard LL. She wasn’t pleasant at all. Glad Harvard got her.
