I applied to Yale University as a Restrictive Early Action applicant and had an interview with an alumni. I also interviewed with their NROTC commanding officer as part of my NROTC scholarship application, as Yale was listed as my top choice school and their CO said he interviews anyone who selects Yale as their top choice school. I was notified as a Yale deferral soon after (December), and an NROTC National Scholarship recipient last week. The scholarship was placed at Yale so I updated them through the applicant portal that I had received the scholarship and that it had been placed at their school. Today, a different NROTC instructor from Yale sent an email requesting an interview as part of my admissions application. I'm assuming it was because of the scholarship update, but has this happened with anyone else? That the notification of a scholarship causes an interview specifically with their NROTC faculty?
