Yale Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

Yeah, their site says:



But whatever, they won't look down upon me for visiting before January right?

Thanks for the schedule, that was exactly what I was looking for.. M/W sounds more interesting to me

Good luck on your exams and enjoy fall break!

ah. got fooled again by the Yale newsletter. They know how to play with my feelings.

Haha! Same here!! Not cool SOM. Not cool

Me too!! Boy they really know how to jump your heart rate at the end of the day, don't they?

They really do! The subject of those e-mails should be "don't panic, just a newsletter".

yeah, my heart definitely skipped a beat when i saw that email lol

Bruce just posted details on what happens to your application once you hit "submit". Hopefully you guys get the golden ticket soon!

Just got invited to interview!!! Anyone else going to campus for it?? So excited!

I just got invited too, it feels great.

Hey guys, when you made your interview did you get a confirmation email? Or a chance to schedule a tour or class visit? All I did was selected my date/time and clicked "respond" and that was it.

still so quiet in my mailbox. feel extremely desperate.
Wish you guys good luck though.

If you look at last years thread, people were invited up until a month before the deadline which in our case is Dec 9th. I will not give up until first week of November.

Thanks dude! you are right! I will not give up until the last minute.
Good luck!

I got a follow-up email the day after I signed up confirming my slot and offering the full day of activities. If you don't receive it by end of day Tuesday you could check with them.

FYI - the schedule varies from their main site if you chose a Friday slot...

Does anyone know what Yale SOM's feeling is regarding entrepreneurs. Is the school actively seeking entrepreneurs as some other top names are?
Thanks

wow. seems like lot of people got interview invites. Let's hope they keep on coming.

Invites will trickle -- look at last year's thread. Invites certainly went out from basically the week after you submitted your app through at least the beginning of November (dates of last year's posts do not lie though so look there)



Entrepreneurship is really big at SOM right now. Beyond the Entrepreneurship Club which helps students with pitches, ideas, etc, there's also the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute, which has amazing resources for all things start-up. I look at it as Yale's start-up incubator since there's people there who not only focus (basically) full-time on their start-up ventures, but there's also other programs that help students develop their entrepreneurial skills before fully jumping into starting your own business. What comes to mind immediately is the technology consultancy program which pairs students with faculty who have new inventions as well as the VC advisors program. If you have an idea you think is viable, you can use your summer to work on your idea and the school will give you $$ to help you out with that development.

Check out https://yei.yale.edu/ for more detailed info. I only know the basics of what's out there, and I'm sure this very brief post only features a small small part of the resources that are available.
