longatum,
can you post a debrief of your interview? E.g. questions asked, tone of the interview, etc?
Thanks!

Has anyone heard anything re: decision for R2? I interviewed on the 24 at Yale and had a really good time. Loved the school and the people there and my interviewer, a really friendly guy, wrote a (personalized with details from the interview) thank-you note to me before I could write him. I wrote back, but haven't heard from anything from them since.
Now that I think about it... I was really hoping that the thank-you note was a personal touch that the interviewer did only to someone he liked, not as a procedural thing... Is that the case? or did everyone who interviewed there get a similar note?
I'm a Vietnamese applicant. 27 yr old. GMAT: 750. GPA: subpar from top liberal arts college. WE: 2.5 yrs in financial services/ibanking (1 yr in no-name boutique in NYC and the rest in Hanoi, Vietnam) at matriculation.

Thanks! Hey nervousgmat, I see that you received your invite in late Dec... and you still haven't had your interview? Anyhow, the interview I had was pretty straightforward. Mostly resume-based. The interviewer (a 2nd-year student) asked me to walk him through it, then focused on the points that he found interesting. The only non-resume question that I can remember is "How would your manager describe you"... and I think my answer to that sucked, mehehe. The interview was really friendly. We joked and laughed a lot in the beginning before getting to the serious stuff and he managed to add a lot to my fondness of the school although the interview lasted only 30mins. I think all interviews will be conducted more or less as such (resumed-based). Several guys who interviewed the same day with me had similar experiences. And interviews don't go much beyond half an hour. You are questioned for some 20-25mins then you can question them. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Don't give up hope, guys! There is plenty of time until decisions come out: more than 1.5 months!!!
Yale extended interview invites up until the decisions deadline in the 1st round.

Ok,
I just got invited to an interview at Yale on the 12th of February. I submitted my app in Dec so all of you worried about the invites, they actually do extend invites this late!
I was certain I would not be invited. Good news eh?

If I were to tell you all the schools that have already dinged me then you might not agree that the fulbright is worth its weight in gold!
I wish that were so, but not likely.
