Typical Schedule for Ivy League Regular Decision Interviews

I'm applying to a few Ivy League schools regular decision and was wondering when they usually schedule interviews. Should I be expecting to hear soon, or do they come much later in the process?

In most cases, Ivy League schools will typically start sending out interview invitations to Regular Decision applicants starting in late January and continuing through February, so you should be hearing from them soon. Usually, the exact timing can depend on the availability of alumni interviewers in your local area, so it might vary slightly.

Remember, not all candidates will be offered interviews, and this does not necessarily reflect negatively on your application! Due to the large size of the applicant pool and the limited number of alumni volunteers, it's simply not feasible for every applicant to be interviewed. Whether or not you are interviewed does not correlate with how likely you are to be admitted.

Also, be prepared to be flexible with scheduling, as these interviews are often arranged based on the interviewer's availability. Be sure to check your email regularly - that's where you'll likely receive notification of an interview request. Good luck with your applications, and if that interview opportunity arises, use it to your advantage to show your passion and commitment!
