Hey everyone! I'm applying to Yale next year and I'm curious, does anyone know the percentage or number of Yale applicants that receive interviews? Just trying to get an idea of what to expect in the admissions process. Thanks!
Hey there! While Yale doesn't disclose an exact percentage of applicants who receive interviews, they do make an effort to offer interviews to as many applicants as possible, especially for those applying Early Action or Early Decision. It's important to note that interviews are conducted by Yale alumni volunteers, so the availability of interviews can vary depending on your location and the number of alumni volunteers in your area.
Keep in mind that Yale takes a holistic approach to reviewing applicants, and interviews are just one part of the process. If you're not offered an interview, it doesn't necessarily mean that your application is weak—it may simply be that they have limited interview resources in your area.
When preparing for a potential interview, remember to be genuine, knowledgeable about Yale and its programs, and ready to share your interests and experiences. An interview can provide valuable insights for both you and the admissions officers, so make the most of it if you do get the opportunity!
Good luck with your application!
