Calling all Yale SOM Applicants -(2015 Intake) Class of 2017

Hi Guys / Gals, for what it is worth, when I look at the "interview" slots through the Yale portal, there's a ton of slots left, over multiple days... so, take that with a grain of salt but either 1) people received invites and didn't sign up (unlikely) or 2) invites are still coming in bulk (likely). Don't stress too much, it's just the rest of your life

Hey everyone... I just updated my blog with a post on interviews... check it out! I partnered with an admissions consultant to get the inside scoop... tomorrow I will be posting a mega interview resource!

My app still says 'submitted'

Hey Peter, congrats on the interview invite!

Quick Question - did your status change on the SOM website from "submitted" to "invited to interview?" My email decided to delete everything and naturally I am paranoid about whether or not i received an invite (wishful thinking, perhaps)...

Hey Alex
My status changed to "Interview Requested" and then when I logged into my account a new field appeared where I could set up the interview. Try looking at your account.

Hi everyone,

Anyone on here interviewing on November 7th?
I am coming from out of town and will be landing on the 6th. If anyone wants to get together before the big day let me know!

For anyone who is still waiting, be patient. There is still plenty of time. Wishing you all the best!!!

Okay everyone... I interview quite a few people within the corporate and non-profit environment.

I did a blog post today on how I PERSONALLY prep for interviews. I hope it helps you on your journey!

Just got my interview invite.

Congrats! Can I ask when you submitted? I didn't get my final transcript in until October 1 (they said they couldn't review it until they received it), so I'm wondering if that might have something to do with not finding out yet.

Hi I got my interview invite yesterday and scheduled the interview on Nov. 7th. I am in Chicago. Anyone in the Chicago metro area is also going?

I submitted on 16 September and had my last recommendation letter in on 19 September.

Hey guys, anyone heard anything recently? It seems super quiet, but I can't tell if that's over all, or just here.

I received my invite yesterday. I submitted my application on the day of the deadline and I thought my videos went horribly.

Definitely not over, melk. Too early. Stay with it.

Looking at past years, there are a number of things that seem consistent. Yale interviews 30% of the applicant pool and admits 20%. If you're interviewed, you have a 2 out of 3 chance of being admitted. That said, they also interview fewer applicants in round 1 than round 2, probably because the less qualified applicants try to get an edge by applying early. The percentages vary, but in 2012 they invited 40 applicants from round 1, and last year they invited 49. Only 24 have been invited so far in 2014.

My guess is that in the next few weeks, another 20 or so people from GMATclub will be invited to interview. I have no idea when or it what order, but it would be unprecedented if they interviewed only 20 of those who applied in round 1. Whether they review application in the order they arrive or cherry pick their favorite applicants I don't know. I'm not seeing a pattern yet.

I hope becuase that would maximize our probability to get in. But browsing in this forum make me feel like that's not true at all since lots of people seems to have been invited for the interview.

Said that I hope that everyone of us in this forum will be called for the interview. Just wondering about the percentages mates

As far as I can tell, everyone on this thread receiving an invite also updated their profile to reflect that. Since the percentages are automatically generated, they would include all the people you mentioned.

I spoke with an admin officer at one of the events and she told me that they review applications in pools. She said it was highly possible to receive an interview up until a week before the decision date.

Not sure how they can interview by pools? job pools? demographics? high gmat/gpa pool? location?
