All other things considered, do you think people applying to Yale who want to get into social enterprise might be at a disadvantage considering what the reputation of the school is and the type of person who is drawn to it? Almost like the Indian/male/IT group...you have to be stellar in order to stand out in this pool? Or does it not really matter in this case?

My experience was the same as themidwest. Also, I wouldn't suggest trying to remember the background of all interviewers in the pamphlet as mine introduced herself and gave me her background before we started the interview. Best advice is to not stress or panic and just be yourself.

Hi , I was wondering if I have to carry my transcripts for the interview. Any thoughts please

You do not need to bring your transcripts to the interview. If you are admitted, then you will need to provide official transcripts.

Hi there, I personally think that the two examples you give are not comparable - one is a background trait (where schools want diversity) and the other is an aspiration/career choice which speaks to fit. I think that if you want to get into social enterprise you are likely to choose to apply to schools that have a good program/reputation in that area - it speaks to your commitment. So I think if anything, it shows at least initial fit with that school's environment, of course the true fit really shows at your interview. The only disadvantage I can think of is that there are many more other applicants interested in social entrepreneurship applying to these schools, but these schools accept a higher percentage of people interested in that field compared to other schools. Also, there are countless specific jobs/employers/career paths in the field of social enterprise that will differentiate you and are not quantifiable. So you can stand out by being attractive, not necessarily stellar.

Hi All,

Am an applicant from India. New to this forum. I applied on Oct 6th and since then no change in status. Has anyone from Bangalore/India received the interview invite from yale? Also, should we interpret the "...Still there is time" Nov.18th email from yale as "Forget about Yale ,still there is time to apply to other schools in R2" ?

Im from Mumbai and in the same boat... any indians gotten interviews ??

I would encourage you guys to keep track of this page on the website over the next week -

https://mba.yale.edu/MBA/admissions/events.asp

For Applicants - It lists the events being held in various countries. This is a chance to meet current students travelling to your area. I don't think you have to attend but if you are interested in learning more about the school it probably wouldnt hurt. There usually is no website etc. Its just a chance to meet students and perhaps get some questions answered. i went to one last year and it was pretty informal.

For Admitted Students - this is a chance to get to know future classmates and learn more about the school to help you decide if its the right fit for you.

Hello, I am an R2 applicant. I was wondering what I should be writing for "reason for leaving" under Work Experience section. Any thoughts? For example, I moved function from business development function to credit analysis function does one sentence such as this suffice? - "I wanted to develop a specific set of skill in credit analysis" or do I need to expand on it?
Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks!

Call the admissions office and ask. IMO...looking at the concise approach of YSOM toward the application, I think one brief sentence should be okay.

I would put in more than one sentence, maybe another one to explain why you wanted/needed that additional skill. A third one to explain how the previous position didn't offer it, if not obvious. It doesn't have to be long, but needs to clear up any questions the adcom may have.

Business formal on campus. I'd check with the alum before changing it up. Good luck

I would just default to business formal. Once at the interview the alum can ask you to remove the blazer; otherwise just leave it on

Formal is safe. It shows that you are taking the interview seriously. And it's winter , it wouldn't be too uncomfortable.
