Well, I don't usually post on this forum. But since I don't want to make anyone worried, let me clarify the facts behind the Yale and Princeton interview results I posted. Apparently, only certain committees in Yale's history department are doing interviews this year. I know that the East Asian professors are interviewing everyone they have in their final pool (this is a new policy they implemented this year), though one professor told me that other geographical areas *might* be doing the same thing. I simply have no reliable information on that. My guess is that most committees do not. I'm also guessing that Princeton only called me because of certain abnormalities in my file (I'm a law student, and apparently they don't get a lot of applicants with that background), since the phone interview focused entirely on why I was applying to a history program with a J.D. in hand. There's no indication that they're interviewing on a general basis.
