Calling all Yale SOM Applicants (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

Congratulations to all the new admits!! So happy for you all! Go out and celebrate.


Waitlisted folks -- keep your heads up. It's not over until it's over ... and those of who have been around these boards for awhile have seen people be admitted to programs up until the end of Orientation Week. Pretty much anything is still possible at this point (even if it may not feel like it at right this second).

Got in. Was sleeping. Just woke up to the email.
Could anyone share how does one know about the scholarship on the website?

Thanks,
Rituraj.

I'm in. Super excited. Call came in 3:27pm EST

Is everyone able to load the class of 2018 website? Seem to me it's not loading.

Tough decision for you man... with all those admits

It should be mentionned on your admission letter (PDF). If it is not, then unfortunately you were not selected for the merit scholarship.

I'm guessing that's Bruce DelMonico's letter on the portal right? I did not receive an admission letter in PDF.

Got waitlisted again..sighhh...

Yes I meant the "status update" letter you can download on the portal:

Although I'm on the waitlist, I'll be visiting Yale SOM next week. Would love to see the new building, take a class and interact with students, professors and staff.

Congrats to all who have endured this painful game called MBA admissions! Congrats to those who got in, and for those who didn't (including myself), I hope you still learned a thing or two from this experience.

Please take a moment to update your application status, and you all have a great weekend!

Waitlisted....

Thanks a lot fakename! And what about you, are you admitted somewhere?

I visited Yale SOM yesterday. Evans Hall is gorgeous! Yalies are lucky to have such an ultra modern, state of the art building in which they can study and attend classes. My favorite area has to be the third floor hallway where one can sit and study. Remember, the Evans Hall is floor-to-ceiling glass. So from the 1st floor looking up, it looks like the students on the third floor are literally studying in the sky.

During the full-day visit, I observed a class called 'The Innovator', spoke to several current students, had a catered lunch with other prospective students, current students and someone from Yale SOM's AdCom, and of course took the tour of Evans Hall and Yale's campus.

There's also a 'Spring Ahead for Women' two-day event at Yale SOM on April 21st & 22nd for anyone who's interested in attending.

Sounds exciting.

Have you visited other schools as well? How does YSOM compare to other schools in terms of facility and overall atmosphere?

Does anyone here know whether Yale provide application feedback to dinged applicants? If yes, what's the process for it?

As far as I know, they do not provide feedback for dinged applicants (and I don't believe WLs either). However, feel free to call admissions and ask to be sure. You never know; you might get someone on a good day
