Sure thing, and thank you - I will be attending Yale SOM. I started the application process knowing that I might have to pay the full cost of attendance, and still decided that doing so would be worth the money long term. Luckily I don't have or anticipate any other major expenses (e.g. healthcare, aging parents, etc.) that would make paying off loans afterwards a major problem. So while the money would be nice, it's not a deciding factor.
I'm picking Yale over Cornell because its reputation seems to be rising, which I hope will look good to recruiters in the short term, and because of the university's brand name, which I hope will pay off in the long term.
To be clear - I LOVED Cornell when I visited. The culture there was tight-knit, the second year students were incredibly invested in helping the first years through recruiting, and the vast majority of other prospective students seemed like genuinely fun people. Also should point out that I gathered this from overnight-ing with one of the students - not just from the AdCom. I would have no hesitation attending.

Brave choice there by not taking the scholarship. But I find your assessment mostly accurate. Most of the people I meet tend to have "emotional" response to student loans, and put enormous emphasis on getting scholarship. At mid or late 20s, taking 100k loan is definitely not the end of the world. Anyways, my best wishes to you for your time in Yale.

Hi Guys,
I applied in Round 2 and I haven't heard anything yet. Do they post all the outcomes only on 1/10? Has anyone got invited for interviews?
Just getting anxious

I have gone through the round 1 process. From my experience, they mostly invite for interview earlier than the decision date, and either reject or wait list the rest of the candidates on the decision date. However, getting an interview invite on the decision date is not unheard of, but definitely rare.
but yeah, your one was pretty good.
