Yale SOM 2012 - Calling All Applicants (Class of 2014)

WL for me also

WL (without interview). Anyone know how this works?
The WL FAQ says "Before requesting feedback from our office..... review your app considering the following"

1. If we feel that we satisfy all three conditions, can we request for feedback before sending our update letter?
2. Anyone know when the deposit deadline for R1 is? Admits may withdraw then.
3. When's the ideal date to send the update letter?

Don't know exactly what the FAQ says, but I would say wait a week before you request feedback regardless. Might not be a bad idea to request it before the update letter (if permissible) just so you can tailor your letter to their comments.

Deposit deadline is 2/24.

I'd ask the AdCom what the best date would be, but my guess would be no later than 2/1.

Dinged without an interview.

Neither surprised nor feeling bad - maybe just made a bad choice as an applicant.

All the best to the members admitted!!

Does someone have a guide somewhere for things we should think about once we've gotten in? (Nink?) I seem to recall there being one for Duke, or another school, or am I just imagining this?

Look at last yr's thread in reverse order. I might have posted something (or was it the yr before?)

Now that you are in, just relax. There will be regional get-togethers for admitted students, admitted student wknd invitation, background check request, etc. But nothing really picks up until R2 is over.

Extremely shocked to have received Yale's acceptance email because I didn't receive any interview invite this round! I am a reapplicant from Asia with brief background below-

- 1st application: Jan-2011; Interview: Feb-2011; Waitlisted till Jul-2011
- 2nd application: Oct-2011; No interview
- Education: Undergrad in Canada- GPA 3.6
- GMAT: 700 (Q:49, V:37, AWA:6)
- W/E: Big 4 < 1 yr; Corporate Banking 5 yrs from Management Trainee

I would like to pay my big THANK YOU to the advises & support from friends I have met on this forum

TIPS FOR WAITLISTED CANDIDATES:

1) Send an email within the 1st week to the WL manager to ask questions to make sure you know the WL rules well. For example, when and how they would assess WL candidates from now on? On rolling basis or in a batch after some time?

2) Send your Letter of Interest say latest by January end. During my own WL, I was advised to send the LoI in at least 1-2 weeks before the Depsoit Deadline of Admits.

3) Ask for more recommendation letters, especially from graduates of Yale or peers schools. I provided 3 more recommendations during my WL.

4) Don't send them more than 1 email update per month, but try to send one at least every 6 weeks. Content of updates I sent included: deepened understanding on Yale SOM after chat with current students, job promotion and job change.

The wait is always painful... and I say this from my own experience. But please don't give up and show your consistency. Best of luck to all those still waiting!!
