Just had my Yale SOM interview in Delhi this morning !

Pretty structured interview. They plan to ask same set of questions to every invited applicant to ensure standardised feedback for the final decision.

It was more like a timed interview, strictly 30 mins. They request you not to share the questions outside. But I tell you this there is no curve ball there, nothing you won't be expecting.

Additionally, for people in London who are invited for a dinner, I would strongly recommend to go and use this opportunity. You may not be able to share your top selling points in the structured interview process.

Good luck !

I got the following

1) What do you think is the most important quality for a leader and why?
2) What are the three qualities you look for in someone who you are hiring for your team?
3) Some law on seizing private property in the US and whether I agree or not.

Good luck this week everyone! Most of you will hear from multiple schools this week, so the only advice I have is to try to take it one day at a time. Breathe. And remember that no matter what happens, this is just one step in your journey.

Sending virtual hugs to all of you. And keeping my fingers crossed for a lot of green status updates!

I felt quite retarded after the video essays even though it was very straight forward, guess I was unnecessarily nervous! Hope I get a chance to show them I can sound coherent :(


chairman14 Tell me about it! Same questions in person, I would have had no problems answering. But talking to my computer? I felt so stupid. I thought I had a decent chance at Yale, but after that disaster, I've pretty much thrown in the towel.



I wouldn't worry about it. Last year I applied and royally messed up the video questions. As in basically fell apart halfway through a questions and threw in the towel and thought I'd never hear back. Got invited to interview anyway and waitlisted before the final ding this summer. I think the video had very little impact. Good luck!

Last year, someone said that you should check your application site and wait to see when it goes "Under review" then you should hear back within a week or so.
Mine is still 'Submitted."


Nah, mine from last year still says "Submitted". Was never "Under Review".

Yale SOM Interview Invitation email received! So excited! Hope more folks get good news, but in case you don't hear anything today, be aware that Yale reviews applications in a random order. Directly pulled from the Yale Admissions website: "The timing of your interview invitation has no bearing on the outcome of your application."
