Yale Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

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.

hey guys, can the interview be scheduled to Sat? don't wanna call in sick, my boss is gonna pissed.

Is there a certain pattern in which the interview invites went out ? I get that we should probably be waiting until first week of Nov, but I'm just worried if the order in which they are sending out invites is the order of strength of the application. Any non-US applicant who got an invite ?

Hi Aerien, you seem to have a lot of insights into Yale's admission process. Do you happen to know how many interview invites the school plans to send out for R1? Or an estimate? Thanks a lot!

Hi blueser, I only know as much as someone who went through the process last year. I have no visibility into specifics on what adcom is doing or is planning to do this year

Hi guys!

I'm interested in applying to the program, most likely for admissions in round 2. To be concise, is there financial aid for living expenses available for international students? (in any form, be that need-based, scholarships, loans etc.).

Thank you!

why is SOM so quiet these days? no interview invitation?

I guess, Silence before a storm of dings !

I hope not, but can't help to think that, also.

there has to be more than 9 people that were invited to interview at this board. Surprising not to have seen that number up in the last few days

I am going to predict we see another wave of invites go out tomorrow.

Anybody else interviewing on Monday?

Last year, Yale tended to send out invites in mini waves, so this is very possible. No one should lose hope because it's been a couple of days since any interview announcements have been made. Even then, Yale will waitlist people who are not interviewed and may offer them interviews during round 2 and 3. It's not over until it's over!

Hope you're right. Although judging from the figures on this site, it still looks like an arms race for jumbo GMAT scores. Still have my fingers crossed!!!

This is unbelievable. There are only 9 applicants reporting their interview invitation!!!
I strongly feel that i am rejected.

Be optimistic! I hope you get one. There's still a lot of time. Good Luck!
