Hey folks! I have a question regarding the application (Aug ’22 intake). Can you share how important is it to detail on the ’Why Yale’ aspect?

I have touched about the features of Yale (community centric, tightly knit) but haven’t talked about any courses, professors, clubs, etc (standard for other schools). I’m not sure what’s the best place to fit in. My commitment essay required more details so couldn’t fit there and goals essay required length is too short to add specifics.

Do you suggest we go for optional essay to highlight Why Yale aspects? Slightly confused as optional essay asks to be used for gaps, etc

Aug2022, See this blog post for comprehensive guidance across all Yale essays. The ’Why Yale’ aspect should come out in your ’career interests’ essay: https://www.stratusadmissionscounseling ... on-essays/.

Lastly, I wouldn’t recommend describing ’Why Yale’ in the optional essay. This essay is meant for further explanation on other parts of your application (such as low GPA/GMAT, why you didn’t choose your direct manager as a recommender, etc) or explaining something truly unique.

Got it, thanks StratusMike

I submitted my application, should receive a link to pay USD 175 given my annual compensation but application page says USD 250. What do we do?

^Please ignore. I re-logged in and it changed to USD 175.

Record your video questions: After paying your fee, you will see a link on your applicant status page to record them within 24 hours. Our database refreshes with the video questions overnight, so you may need to log in the next day to see the link.

I’m slightly confused - some blogs mention 48 hours after the round’s application deadline. Are the video essays due in 24 hours post paying application fee? In that case, will delay paying for as long as the format is comfortable for me.

the link only showing after payment and within 24hours. the deadline is 48hours after link appears


but if you submit before deadline, we can still access the link until deadline

Does this mean we can access the link and submit until 48 hours after deadline? Sorry not clear on that.

yes, we can access anytime until 48hours after round’s deadline (but still, always make sure with the deadline written in your application)

Just wanted to check if anyone received a somewhat personal e-mail from a member of the Admissions team on available resources for the application?

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?

i remember reading somewhere that Yale’s experiential learning program is very different from other schools. would anyone know how is it different?
