Hello! I'm in the process of applying to several Ivy League schools, and I'd like to know whether all applicants are offered interviews or if they're only conducted for a select few. Thanks for any information you can provide!
Hello! It's great that you're taking the initiative to research the admissions process for Ivy League schools. While the specifics may vary from one institution to another, generally speaking, most Ivy League schools aim to offer interviews to as many applicants as possible.
However, due to logistical limitations, such as the availability of alumni interviewers, not every applicant may be granted an interview. It's important to note that not being offered an interview does not necessarily put your application at a disadvantage. Moreover, interviews at Ivy League schools are typically considered informational and evaluative, meaning they serve as an opportunity for both you and the school to learn more about each other.
Make sure to always check the specific requirements and policies for each individual school on their websites as they may have unique guidelines regarding interviews. Best of luck with the application process!
