For those WL'd and looking for feedback on their applications, should we be emailing the standard admissions email address or the one specifically provided in the WL faq?


I was waitlisted in R1, and the contact in the WL FAQ was very nice and answered back quite quickly. It is not specifically in the FAQ but I would strongly suggest submitting new recommendation letters, so they can see that your intentions are clear, and it also shows that your recommenders know that you are WLd but they want to support your candidacy.

Is anyone else choosing between SOM and a New York City school (Stern or Columbia)?

I want to do non-profit management, SOM makes so much sense, I'm just struggling to come to terms with the move to New Haven. Thoughts?

I'm in the exact situation that you described (Yale SOM vs. Stern). I feel a little funny saying it on the Yale forum, but I am leaning towards Stern right now, but my situation is quite a bit different from yours. I am a career switcher (engineering to investment management) and Stern's finance reputation coupled with its location is hard to ignore. However, the feel I had when I interviewed at Yale was better than any other school I visited. Part of this may be that the campus was very similar to my undergrad and I'm not accustomed to city life. FWIW, if I was going for non-profit management, Yale would be a no brainer for me.

If you stay in NY you will get some non-profit management exposure at either school. The move wouldn't be enough to compensate for a few more non-profit management courses.

@miggs: nice read :D good luck on ur future endeavours!

well.. at least we're not on a sinking ship.. even though it hasn't landed, this ship is still floating, for sure. hehehe.

maybe they took the weekend to compose continuing waitlisters letter? anyone contacted the admissions office for advice on what to do next and when the last date the waitlist will end? at this point, i think they are basically waiting on people who are going to not enroll at Yale SOM and put us as backups.

some people pay deposits and still not enroll because they pay to several places, since it may not be a significant amount to them ($500)..so the waitlist may extend until August, don't know exact date, though.

Make sure you guys contact the wait list manager. Afterwards, make sure your update letter is not another esaay. Simply communicate your interest, reclarify your goal, add significant update, etc

I didn't get the continuing waitlist update. Hmm. This is either a good sign or a really bad sign. Guess I'll find out soon enough if they appreciated me scenting my thank you note with cologne.

:lol:

One way or another, it's about time there's movement on your WL status.
You got scholarship money from Cornell, anyway. In the end, you will be getting world-class business education in the fall.
