Wait listed by SOM yesterday. Pretty bummed. Hoping it might have something to do with the fact that I ranked SOM 2nd of the 2 consortium schools I applied to. Not a great confidence booster since Yale is the lowest ranked of the four schools I interviewed at. Still I guess it isn't a "no."
Good luck to everyone else with their Yale applications...

Im surprised by some of you guys with stellar GMAT scores and great GPAs not even getting an interview. How is that possible? Is it an issue of low work experience?
My GPA is definitely sub 3.0 and i've had pretty good luck, but I have 6 years of unique work experience on matriculation along with a good GMAT.

The GMAT does not seem to carry too much weight. In my humble opinion, you are much better off with a 710 or 720 and great work experience than if you have a 99th percentile score and what some people my view as weaknesses on your resume.
On the flip side, there are INCREDIBLE candidates with high GPA's and jumbo GMAT's who get interviews at S/H/W who get dinged at lower ranked schools, and the ONLY explanation is that they have failed to convince the lower ranked schools that they will actually enroll if admitted.
I have picked up a few invaluable pieces of info during this process that I wish someone had told me!

on your comment about your GMAT score. Very good point on you being the same person with 2 GMAT scores and no personality transformation
Congratulations!! That's awesome!
