Guys
Question about the JDMBA at Yale... I understand you need 2 separate applications, but for the SOM application it asks if you intend to apply for the Joint Degree. If one says yes and does not end up appying to the Law school, is that a negative? The reason I ask is that I am thinking of applying to law school but I don't know if I can still make it with the current deadlines.. If I cannot can they just treat it like a regular SOM MBA application? Thanks

IDK...but if were in adcom I would be thinking ... hmm, getting into Yale Law is much more difficult than getting into Yale SOM. So I should WL this candidate to give admission upon admission in Yale Law only. Who knows if this person decides to do JD/MBA at Duke.

But that's just my thinking and I am not in adcom. :lol:

OK. I am having tough time articulating "why MBA". Should I mention that grandpa left me few millions and I want to start my business? Or should I mention peer pressure? :?

Hi gaga,

I think BofA has paid back the TARP money (https://investor.bankofamerica.com/phoen ... highlight=)

As to your second query, my analysis doesn't cover the number of people getting front office positions.
In any case will keep on doing research, and if I get something interesting I will post it here.

I think the best indicator for the future job market will be the current job market for classes of 2011 and 2013. In every step one takes there is a probability of success and failure attached to it. But I do need to get a fair bit of idea on the current situation before I put my 2 cents in (in this case $ 150K) :)

Thats why I feel I will need to get in touch with a current student or a CDO person to clarify.
Also am awaiting nink's response. And while we are at it, will also very much appreciate if nink can provide some stats on us aliens getting into a strategy consulting career.

Cheers!

Yes, you're right :evil: That's why I bought BOA shares and currently running in huge loss. Oblivion was bliss! :evil: I read nink's response. Why don't reach out to international student ambassadors? Their email IDs are on the website. General rule of thumb - non Biblical names will most likely indicate international students.

I'm reluctant to even ask this question, but when is the actual R2 deadline? It just lists January 6th on the website. Is that January 5th, Midnight? or 5PM EST January 6th? or Midnight?

I'm really hoping that it doesn't come down that close but neither of my recommenders have submitted their letters yet and I'm just a bit nervous.

Thanks

....and nevermind.... I see it now in the application itself: January 6th, 2011 5PM Eastern Time.

If it makes you feel any better, even if they get their letters in a little after the deadline, as long as you get your app in by the deadline past experience suggests that you will be fine.

Hopefully they get them in on time and you don't have to stress, though.

kalachashma,
Yes, I am applying to Yale SOM...I'll be happy to give my $100K to it and to me New Haven is the best place to live in the eastern US, unlike Hanover and Ithaca.

Admitted to R1, but so far after almost two weeks I have not received the package from Yale SOM yet. Living near New Haven area, and I thought I should have been among the first ones who should get the welcome package.

Anyone else near New England area is in the same status? I wanna double check before I send in any inquiries to SOM. Thanks in advance.

I still haven't received my admit package either. I'm also in the tri-state area. Hoping it comes this week.

Thank you, guys. That relieves my concern. It took me 30 minutes to clear a way to my mailbox and dug the mailbox out of the snow after I returned from my vacation, and disappointedly found only bills and junk mails hiding in the mailbox.

I inquired. I don't think they're aware a fair number of people haven't received them. It's not likely that they are in the mail but rather mislocated in the office or something like that. I'd give them a call or email so that they know you haven't received anything. other people have so if you haven't, you may have been in the pile that got stacked under some boxes.
