Yale SOM 2013 - Calling All Applicants

Just a quick two cents about my interview day --

1) Everyone at Yale SOM is friendly and open to answering any of your questions. At this stage in the process, (almost) no question is stupid; ask what you really want to know about daily life. Find out if you can see yourself spending two years at SOM. And take some time to explore New Haven if you can!

2) The admissions office is really well-run, IMO. If you have any questions about your application, registering for your interview, or scheduling a campus visit, feel free to contact them via phone or email. Someone will either be able to answer your question or track down someone who can help you. Keep in mind though that the office is small; if you start pestering them every day about when results will come out or when you'll receive an interview invite, I'm sure they'll remember who you are (and not in a good way!).

3) The interview is not something to overly stress about. Others have already given great tips about the actual interview so I won't belabor those here; all I can say is know your resume, know why you want to go to Yale, and remember to breathe. The interviewer wants to get to know who you are; they're not there to trip you up!


Good luck to those of you who have yet to interview and to those still awaiting invites!

^+1

Also applied in round 1 and haven't heard anything either...

Will they send us all rejections on Dec 13 if we have not heard from them till now (For Round 1)?

Based on last year's thread, there were invites into the beginning of December. Keep your head up -- it's not over until it's over!

To actually answer your question though, it looks like all dings go out on the decision date of December 13.

Even I have not received any interview invites !!!

Tomorrow is another Friday, might be either happiness or heartbreaking.
Any one submitted before end of Sep still waiting for interview invite like me?

I submitted 9/15 and am still waiting. I'm assuming it's a ding at this point but wish they would send out those decisions as they're made, rather than waiting for Dec 13 to send them all out at once.

It ain't over till it's over. It is the truth, the sooner you realize it, the better it'll be. Cheers!

Precisely, the fat lady is yet to sing.

Has anyone heard back today? It's Friday!!!!!

And cue Rebecca Black lol.

Lol :D thanks for getting that stuck in my head now...

Flipping same! Sigh

It's Friday, Friday. But I ain't looking forward to the weekend, coz I still haven't heard back from Yale!

Haha And sadly, as Yale is closed for Thanksgiving all next week, the earliest you can hear from them is now Monday, 11/26.

Good luck! And to all US-based applicants (and non if you want to celebrate with us), spend some time with your families and eat some turkey!

Just got mail from Yale saying all Round 1 decisions will be released on December 13.
I guess that means they really are running a tight schedule and could possibly be holding interviews until the last few weeks...?

Good luck to all those still waiting for an invite!
