The application is LIVE! Love the fact that they have now changed the application fees for applicants with lower incomes. https://som.yale.edu/director-admissions-application-2014-2015-live

In for R1! All the best, everyone! Quick question - do you guys know by when applicants should complete their 3 video interview questions. The application form mentions that one can answer those questions after submitting the application and paying the fees, and that the link for the video questions would be available from 1 Aug onwards. Does that mean I can answer these questions even after the 18 Sep round 1 deadline?

Tomorrow is August?!?!!?!? How is everyone doing on their apps?

Round 1 for me. FYI, there's an online info session on 6th Aug: https://som.yale.edu/online-event-yale-som-reception

How did the online session go? I was unable to make it.

The session covered 'Why Yale?', curriculum and various programs, school's mission and its integration with Yale University. Bruce specifically asked attendees to ask questions related to admissions and the application during the application tips presentation on the 27th: https://som.yale.edu/online-event-application-tips-chat
