Hi Everyone,
I have applied on round 2 (application sent on 12/31) and have just received an interview invitation.
I was glad to receive the invitation so quickly, anyone knows the percentage of applicants yale invites for interviews?
My problem is that I am an international applicant currently living in France, and they invited me for an on-campus interview. Anyone knows if Yale does off campus interviews (either alumni or adcom coming over) ? or at least skype interviews for internationals?
Congrats on your (indeed very speedy) invite! I had my interview with an alum off campus (Florida, US), though they may set up a Skype interview for international applicants. When I'd asked if I could interview off-campus, they asked me to hold tight while they reached out to alumni in my area, and that they would set up a Skype appointment if all else failed.
HOWEVER, I was a reapplicant and had previously interviewed on campus, and let them know this when I asked for the off-campus interview this year. Don't know if that will be a huge factor, but I'd suggest visiting at some point during the process if you can swing it. Good luck!
