The matter of fact is if you don't an interview invitation from them by now, then they are probably not that interested in your application. The general rule (no matter if the school is rolling or non-rolling) is that the earlier you interview, the better. Why would it be otherwise? And the invitations that are sent in the mail right now probably aim to fill some of the interview spots in February already.
Some people are speculating that the order they invite people to interview is very random and think that Yale simply picks people out of the hat. Well, another more plausible explanation is that maybe Yale just happens to like some of the applicants who submit app's in Dec. more so than some of the ones who submitted their app's earlier than that!
And if you are concerned that your interview invitation letter is lost in the mail, call them immediately! I don't see why you should take a chance.
And no, Yale would not give you the rejection yet even if they don't like your app at this point. Well these are my opinions, without beating around the bush.•••
sorry I couldn't resist, after looking at your name, do you have any relation to "TheBeyonder?"
