Yeah, regardless I’m proud of my essays. It’s one of those things where even if I don’t get in, I am confident that I clearly outlined what I want to do after, how I prepared, and how the degree will help.

That’s amazing I think the best thing to do is to forget about it and then celebrate if we get an invite 😂 Easier said than done though

Agreed! The decision isn’t giving me anxiety at all. Once you get to the ripe old age of 30, you learn to accept what fate doles out to you with ease and calmness lol.

I think the worst part is the wait Schools need to release invites at once and then communicate results by portal at once, no stupid phone calls

Oh absolutely. Not sure why they do it the way they do, after what already is a sadistically complicated application process. A friend who went through this last year warned me about the impostor syndrome it will create, and even that warning wasn’t preparation enough. But honestly, hang in there guys. Things will work out.

But I guess your friend finally received an offer

Yes, he bagged 2 M7s. And here I am.

We’re gonna make it guys! If not at Yale, then somewhere else. I hear that Yale, in particular, sends out interviews to golden candidates early on without even reading their profile (e.g. McKinsey consultant, 750 GMAT, 4.0 GPA, etc) Right now it’s counterproductive to worry since we can’t do anything to change the outcome. Therefore, we must not worry.

golden candidate means someone who meets only one or two criteria or all (McKinsey/750GMAT/4.0GPA, etc) at the same time?

There is someone above who got an interview with a 710 so I’m not sure about all of that criteria. (Not saying a 710 is a bad score at all by the way, so please don’t misinterpret that)
