Calling All Fall 2011 Yale SOM Applicants

Any international student get I-20 yet? What is the start date on the form?
I am trying to figure out the earliest date I can land on the States~

You are allowed to be in the US for a maximum of 30 days before your course starts on an F-1 visa

Guys and gals - have a great time during Welcome Weekend. Ask lots of questions, meet your future classmates, and explore everything that the school has to offer. And if presented with the dilemma of partying late (even though you'll have stuff to do early Saturday morning) or going to bed early, please make the right choice

Thank you! I am wondering how to get to the States earlier since I wanna stay with my relatives there for a while.

Thanks for the advice, Shadow. When put to the test, I will surely remember your wise words tomorrow evening.

Folks who attended Welcome Weekend, how was it? Can you share your experience here for the benefit of those who could not attend?

Had my interview with adcom over Skype. Adcom was cordial. Lasted 25 minutes.


Hope this helps. Good luck!

anudada - Welcome Weekend was good fun. Personal highlights included hearing Dean Snyder discuss his vision for SOM, Ivan Kerbel's overview of the CDO, the break-out career panel (I attended the finance session) and the Friday night event at GPSCY. There were cameras at every session, so I would imagine that they will post videos on the admitted students website over the coming days (hopefully with the exception of the antics at GPSCY - that footage would likely put an early end to a few careers!). All in all, a well-organized and informative event and a very impressive incoming class.

In case anyone is keeping track, I have decided to matriculate. I've made this very official by 1) adding blue font to my profile and 2) buying a Yale hoodie from the campus shop, so I guess there's no turning back now...

has anyone heard from the waitlist yet?

Has anyone else been invited to do a three question virtual interview with the possibility of it leading to an in-person interview?

I just received an invite for the 3 question virtual interview. If anyone has any experience to share with this process it would be a great help. Especially with regard to the questions one can expect.

Another victim ....I mean, promising candidate, commits to YSOM. You will have a great time over the next 2 years.

P.S. - <----------- one keeping track

Although I loved everything about YSOM, I'll be attending Duke this fall. Hopefully this opens up a spot for someone on the waitlist!!

I received in the invite for the three question interview as well. I plan on doing it tomorrow or Thursday, so I'll post my experience then.

Look forward to hearing it. I plan to do mine on Friday morning.

Hi All,
I am r3 applicant. I received a InterviewStream Interview Option from Yale, they have asked me to record 3 answers within a 1 min time slot, each can't know the question before hand.
Did any one get this call.

yashmarc- How was your interview, any inputs.

I have the interview tom, so an early reply will help people.

miniskirtmurder: Hey how was the 3 question Interview.
