I don’t see any specification in terms of font size and spacing for the essay documents. Does anyone have any idea about this?

Hello Everyone, I have applied for R1 deadline. However, I am not able to access the behavioral assessment link that is given in the application portal post applying, did anyone else face this issue? Any idea how to resolve this? Reached out to the ETS support services as suggested in the admissions website but they had no clue

Hey. You will get a ’not secured’ page. Just click on ’Advanced’ and it will take you to the assessment link.

Hey everyone! I’m going to apply for YALE SOM as a Silver Scholar in Round 2. I have great GPA and extra curriculars. I also have entrepreneurial aspects to my profile. Can someone tell me what should be my GMAT score to get in? How much minimum score would help boost up my profile?

It is hard to comment on the GMAT score as there is no known algorithm and there are many factors involved; However, the safe score would always be somewhere near the school average, provided you have all the other aspects ( essays, LOR, GPA etc.) sorted, and somewhere +20/30 the average if you are lacking behind in any of the other aspects.

For brief understanding of your profile, I would recommend that you get an expert advise from profile evaluations section over here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/profile-eval ... 4/?fl=menu

I did over the weekend. I wouldn't call them essays, 3 short questions.
You can practice over and over and get to know all of the behaviour based questions.

Can anyone share what kind of questions are asked in the video essay component ? Appreciate if someone could give a high level overview of their experience or questions.

The first one is a "why MBA/why now/why SOM" type of question.
The second one is behavioural
The third one can be random and in my case it was asking for my opinion on employer paid healthcare.

why do you feel that you flunked?

There are several points related to this feeling:
The first one has to do with my self-perception--e.g. it is pretty common for people to dislike how they look/sound on camera, even if they logically understand that it is not a beauty contest. In other words, based on my internal standards, I know that I could have done better and/or I can do better than this.
Second, I ran out of time on two questions or did not stop at the time I had the opportunity to stop.

Learning outcome: I spent some time preparing (practiced 4 questions), but I would probably have been better off if I had spent a little bit more time on my prep.
Hope this helps!

What does behavioural question mean though? Can someone please give an example?

Innes, I think what Yale receives at the end is “personality type” kind of thing, and they are perhaps looking into diversifying the personality types even further. And also perhaps they are looking at different, “soft” skills: leaders who not necessarily are good at standard GPA/GMAT sort of thing, but still can be really good leaders.

If you ever done smth like Myer Briggs personality type tests, you might understand. You should try, it’s fun

But I think if other metrics are good, you shouldn’t be worried about behavioral assessment
