Could you come over to the US without any problems?


Yes, I have a valid B1/B2 visa, but I suppose Yale SOM might have automatically assumed that it was not the case. I guess, I should have mentioned it somewhere on my application (where?) or sent them an email about this. And then again, any or all parts of my application might have been weak.


You will probably have to get a J visa to study. B1/B2 is only for tourist, and it might be seen as "visa fraud" to study on such a visa

You can not study on B visa because it is for limited duration anyway.

Yale is near the top of my list, I think it really fits my professional profile/personality, so needless to say I'm excited to hear your report lanter. I'd love to get an idea of the type of people there, age, personality, type etc. What's the housing situation like as well...new haven is iffy correct?

New Haven is alright. Like any city it has its good areas and bad. Yale isn't in the best area, though it's been a few years since I've visited that area.

It's no Bridgeport.

From the Yale website

"When you apply, you are required to provide a transcript from every college or university you have ever attended. You do not need to submit official transcripts to apply. If admitted, however, you will need to submit official transcripts to enroll. All offers of admission are conditional on the receipt and verification of official transcripts."
