Based on last year interviews went on until December. No worries.

As a reapplicant I am totally stressed as I don't think they'll reinterview me.. but I'm just twiddling my thumbs..... living on a prayer

Cyber, in last year's experience, did you see a slow trickle for the last month or was it a pretty consistent amount throughout? I know we received a good amount at the beginning, but it has been slow for awhile. Not sure how substantial our sample size is here, though.

At the speed in which they've been reading applications, I tend to think that they're done sending out 75-85% of them. They may be reserving the rest for the applicants that are "on the border", meaning if some of the earlier interviews have very bad interviews and are set to be dinged, more applicants can be invited for interview that could now make it into the class.

I remember thinking it was pretty consistent throughout, although when I got it in late November I had given up chances of anything already...

Shaselai, Do you mean that 25% get interview invites and 60% of them get admission? I hope you didn't get confused with Darden's statistics.

Any reapplicants (who were interviewed before) get interview invite? How often they re-interview reapplicants? Anyone has any information in this area? Thanks!

Does anyone know if reapplicants have a lower acceptance rate or the same acceptance rate as the regular applicants?

no one would know that... but it is dependent on the applicant's improvements over the period in between - better gmat? new recognition/awards? new degrees etc. if it is the same then I think it will be almost auto-ding since applicants arent getting weaker....

Thank you for the statistics, I am a re-applicant myself and I scrutinized these as well. However, I think it's prudent to look a little beyond the numbers. The re-applicant pool is a decidedly different pool than first-time applicants. While I have no idea the specific characteristics of what that pool looks like, we do know that this pool was rejected the first time around - in other words this was part of the 82% that did not receive an offer - and thus, in the eyes of the AdCom, were not as fit as someone who was admitted.

So, that being said, this pool is already a bit less credentialed (for whatever reason) than the general applicant population. Therefore, from an admittance perspective, if you were able to demonstrate growth, I believe you may have a slightly better chance than in the general population. At the end of the day, you were denied admission and decided that YSOM was the place you wanted to go and reapplied - I believe the AdCom is looking for "Yes's" when they extend an offer and these people would definitely fall into the "high probability of accepting" column.

However, this is all speculation and there are other factors at play, like whether a person was waitlisted or not, etc. At the end of the day, it's the applicant that matters, it's not a numbers game (as much as us business students want it to be ;-)

), but just my two cents as I review these statistics. Cheers and best of luck to all!

You know, when I applied again this year to Yale, I thought that I was a pretty good shot based on last year's factors (waitlist and feedback). The more I wait and look though, the less positive it all seems.

Cyber, totally understood, it is a looooong wait till December with no information. No news is no news, in the mean time hope for the best, prepare for the worst, hedge your bets and diversify.
