Who else just wrapped up at the Interview Super Day today?

I really liked the presentation they put on and the building is gorgeous. They really did quite a good job selling the school.

I was surprised by the number of people there. I was expecting maybe 20 or 30, instead there were at least 100 if not 150 people there.

I'm not terribly positive about my chance as I felt my interview didn't go very well. The question set I received had almost all negative-slanted questions, which I found odd. I had to make up a lot of ground in the stage where I ask questions to keep sneaking in 'Why Yale'.

Place - you're right - there were I think 110 people interviewing yesterday!

As far as the questions you received - admissions probably asks interviewers to fill in the blanks. If you did a good job telling them "why yale" in your essays, they might have asked the interviewer to look at another side of your candidacy. The most important thing is to be clear, confident, and personable in your interview regardless of the questions they ask!

Good luck!

Are these working for anyone? I'm unable to see the answers to FAQs...



I only tried one browser (Chrome) but yep, answers not loading for me either.


Just tried both of them on Chrome and the questions & answers both load for me. I'm on the Yale internet network though, so maybe there's an external-facing issue of some sort. If there are still issues, send me a screenshot of what you're looking at & I'll try to pass it on to the IT folks here.

Sorry. I meant to say that I'd reported the website issues to SOM Comms. They should have fixed it by now.

Yale has stated that interview invites could be extended all the way up until the decision notification date.

Just got back from Yale and rather enjoyed the experience. The new building is quite grand and the speakers were engaging, it was just a shame the weather didn't cooperate! The interview was fairly straight forward though I felt I didn't quite get to put forth all the information I'd wanted to.

As to the rest of the day, those of us on the campus tour came back a bit cold / damp, but all and all it was absolutely worth it. Now we wait until the 4th, really wish the decision deadline was sooner!

What did everyone else who attended the Super Day think?

I wish Yale was more transparent about their process as many of the other schools are.

The R1 deposit deadline is on Friday so we might get another wave of invites next week, if the R1 yield isn't too high.

Yes. I received one last week. But I'm Canadian so it might not be fully "international"

Phenom engineers applying to SOM: Short-term cryogenic freezing for MBA applicants could make some money. I'll help with the business plan if you take care of the technology.

I know its decision day for Consortium Yale applicants - hoping this means a return to regular applicants.

Haven't heard much on the front of invites recently? Anyone??

Looks like R2 consortium applicants are receiving their decisions right now... I'm feeling less and less hopeful on getting an interview invite.

On another note, a few days ago, I updated the first post of this thread to include an updated picture of Evans Hall, class profile, rankings, employment reports, and current students. Check it out and let me know if you have requests on what else I should add.

a bit of a random question for all applicants .. when you go to your Application Management screen and click "2014 Round X", in the screen that pops up before you click Open Application, what does it say under Status? do you see 2 or 3 lines of text?

Thanks!
