Hi Everyone,
During yesterday's Yale R1 admit chat,
ak99 has talked about how he converted his waitlist and a ding to an admit next year. He has also got the following advice for the waitlisted applicants.
Since you mentioned you were a reapplicant, can you tell us what has changed significantly in that one year that helped with your admit?
Sure thing. For starters, I’ll be transparent, but as with anything my experience is shaped by my experience. Last year, I applied with a 710 GMAT, I was able to bump my score up to 740. Secondly, I was at PwC in analytics, and transitioned to Strategy& - I think the GMAT had a bigger impact since their feedback last year to me was to bump up my score.
General guidance: Yale SOM’s application is pretty straightforward so I recommend avoiding overthinking the process and application. It really does boil down to whether you check the box on GMAT/GRE, demonstrate the leadership in your work experience - which I recommend comes out through the essay, if your goals make sense and have a natural link to your past experiences, and the impact you’ve had. Beyond that, there are factors outside control.
I guess you can also ask
ak99 any questions regarding waitlist.
