请问楼主，yale的admissions officer的面试是 blind interview? 我可以举我essay中的例子吗？还是得另外举例？

谢谢答复！

I just interviewed with Yale. (on campus) . Blind interview. The interview just has my resume at hand. Actually she suggested me feel free to elaborate any detials in my application.

ddff: Thanks a lot!

Your interviewer was an admissions officer or a current student?  I mean, the blind interview in your case is a general one ?   I will have an off-site interview and mayby not the same situation as yours.

ddff

you are welcome. It was a second year student. exactly 30 minutes. (actually she stoped at 20 minutes and let me ask her question)
Questions are very general. btw, i don't think alum will have time to review your detailed application. but check with others or Mr. Yale on this.

ddff: Thanks again!

I will be interviewed by an admissions officer next month in Shanghai. Not sure whether it will be a blind interview or not.

ddff

Wow, then i guess it may be possible he and she has reviewed your application. But that doesn't matter. Just be familiar with your materias and make your story consistent.

I appreciate your passion, but travelling to the U.S. only for an interview will cost too much. Write a letter to the Admissions Committee and ask for an in-person interview in Beijing.

The Admissions Committee actually sends email to all short-listed applicants for on-campus interviews regardless of your location. Last year I met with the same situation. Just let them know you are unable to come to campus and they will schedule a hub interview or alumni interview accordingly.

我也有logistics的问题，不过好像比较大，怎么从上海去New Haven?

你有必要从上海去耶鲁吗？写信要求在上海做INTERVIEW就行了。

I can make it during the Spring Festival...Just want to come and take a look on Yale...It does cost a lot...but I think it would benefit more,right? Please advice.
