I'm also R3 and haven't heard anything yet. I'm expecting things to move quickly or not at all.

Round 2 admits - Has anyone got the admissions packet yet?

I received mine, but I was one of the early R2 admits. It's pretty light on content - you'll receive a letter from adcom (the same letter that appeared on your status update page) and a ~20 page book that reads more like a marketing document that an information pack. They've posted most of the real / practical information on the Class of 2013 website, so I'd recommend giving that a thorough read if you haven't already.

On the plus side - the materials are sent in a Yale SOM-branded leather portfolio. I thought it was a nice touch.

I'm in the same boat: I received my package on Saturday and no mention of $, just the binder with a letter and pamphlet.

Since I now know I am scholarship-less, can I ask a maybe-dumb question?

I don't understand how the average debt of graduates (according to us news) is under $100,000, if the total cost of attending yale is over $75,000 per year (with room and board). Are people bringing that much savings from their previous jobs? I'm coming from the non-profit sector, and I won't be putting a dent in my financial burden with my savings. I am excited about b school, but I am intimidated at the whole prospect of going so far in debt.

One other quick question: Does anyone have details about welcome weekend? I can't find a schedule online...is it more informal than I am imagining? I ask because I wouldn't be able to get there until sort of late Friday night, and want to be sure it is worth the trouble for whatever is going on Saturday.

Thanks!

Hi there -
People get scholarships on their own, especially in the second year there are many opportunities that open up from what I've found out. Also there is the TA opportunities and the loan forgiveness program.

Welcome weekend schedule is up - if you go to Next Steps, Class Events, Welcome Weekend. Do not go over to Winter Welcome Recap, just click on Welcome Weekend.
See you there!

Usually people have some level of savings to cover the living expense. You first year's internship probably is enough to cover the second year's living expense. Therefore, probably you just need to borrow two years' tuition.

Any current students mind sharing the model / make of your SOM-issued laptop? I'm trying to decide whether to sell my current laptop. Thanks.

Class of 2011 laptop is Dell e6400, preconfigured with our Yale SOM image. Specs: 3GB Memory, 160GB Harddrive, web camera, bluetooth, etc. Comes pre-loaded with various applications that you will need for bschool.

Having said that, I only use it if I need to use certain applications that comes with the YSOM laptop. (I posted a picture somewhere awhile ago, how I use it as paper weight. Laptop itself is pretty good. I just prefer lighter laptop with longer lasting battery) I went to bschool with a Vaio TT series and after it broke down, I replaced it with Thinkpad X series. I also received iPad 1 for Xmas gift last yr so I carry either the iPad or the Thinkpad on campus.

Macs are also popular on campus. So you don't have to buy a new laptop just for bschool.

Actually, the cost that you will incur during the internship (temporary housing, cost of living, etc) is quite significant, depending on where you will be doing your internship. If you end up doing it in NYC, Boston, or other big cities.....it can really add up in terms of cost.

I stayed at Marriott 2 yrs ago. It's Marriott, so nothing fancy but I had enough hotel pts, so I didn't end up paying anything.

https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/h ... n-at-yale/

It's a popular option for a lot of the visitors. The other popular options are:

1) Omni New Haven - either a hit or miss, depending on the person.

2) Premiere Hotel & Suites - probably good option if you have pets

3) New Haven Hotel - another hit or miss

4) The Study at Yale - boutique fancy. never stayed there but a lot of people said nice things about this place. It's also more young and hip, if that's your thing.

Just to throw that out there - all these were fully booked as of last week. And all the B&Bs in the area too. Bulldog days!
