I just finished my video essay. It was definitely not my strongest performance :/ Did anyone get cut off mid-sentence? I really hope it's not a deal breaker as my consultant alleges.


same here :(

lets keep our fingers crossed.

I got cut off too. I don't think that's a reason to deny someone.

I do find it really surprising that few people have been invited to interview before even their submission of video essays. Keep this thread posted guys. The pessimist in me has already given up on Yale.

Your consultant says it would be a deal breaker? I almost had myself cut mid sentence but I avoided it by a really fast summary. You could tell though. Anyway, I definitely think it won't be a deal breaker. All the best.

Haha, sorry I meant to say that my consultant says it is NOT a deal breaker. It's just one more data point. Nothing to stress about.

This is what a couple current students have told me as well!

Mostly everyone. I still haven't. I think my Yale luck is following and haunting me.

No. Everyone has the chance to do their own. If you're an international student/live outside the U.S., they have to match you. But many times, they just issue you an interview waiver, which isn't very good. It has been said that this leads ultimately to a rejection.

Yesterday. By the way, I thought I screwed it up royally. My "ice breaker" was: Who is the most intelligent you know?

Kind of a deep question for the "fun" one...

ha. I empathise. Mine was the most important invention of my lifetime. For sometime I thought about something and then realised that the thing that I had thought of was invented 40 years back. That was close.
