I haven’t heard back. General word is that first wave was based on stats. Hoping to hear back early sometime over the next two weeks.

Also haven't heard back yet. I was under the impression we'd be more likely to hear back in Feb?

Yes indeed, I believe they should be sending out a round of interviews of the next two weeks. Fingers crossed.

From the decision tracker, I see that last year, an applicant got interviewed as late as March 9th. So, I think there is still a lot of time to wait for the interview invite :) Hopefull you will all hear back soon. All the best :)

Hello! I am a Silver Scholar applicant and have my interview scheduled for Yale SOM today (6 hours to go!)
Can anyone who might be aware tell me how many Silver Scholars are there in general, and what is the acceptance rate if you get an interview invite?

My current assumption is if one assumes 400 applicants and a 5% acceptance rate, there are 20 Silver Scholars. From 20 of those, we could potentially equally divide them amongst in R1 and R2. Which would mean there are around 10 acceptances each round. And with around 5 time slots across 4 days, I can assume that there would be around a 30-40% chance to get accepted taking account of the error, R3 acceptances, and other erroneous factors.

With a standardized interview format for Yale SOM, how do they differentiate between 2 candidates finally? Also, how is the amount of scholarship to be given to an applicant decided?

Congrats! From what I heard during one of the workshops, they said all Silver Scholar applicants get interviewed. As for scholarship it ranges from $20k to full tuition depending on merit from what they said. As for the the rest of your questions, I'm not sure but I do know there is typically 15-20 Silver Scholars but Yale has no cap on how many or how little they choose to accept. It depends on the entire application pool and if they want a silver scholar vs a normal applicant.

Thanks! I am not sure about the interviewing everyone part, even though I have heard that still I believe that has been changed, but it might just be me. Considering there might be a significant number of applicants I think it would not make sense nor would they have the resources to do so. Anyways, thanks for the information. Now just got to wait till the 26th to see how it panned out.

Hearing from admissions consultants that Yale has finished sending out most of their interview invites and not many more will go out - anyone know if this is true?

From the decision tracker, I see at least 4 Yale interview invites in the last couple of days. So, they are still sending out the invites. All the best :)

Does anyone know if they will they send out more interview invites for round 2? Or will they have done most of the invites by now?
