In this blog post from last year, the Director of Admissions says, "you don’t need to use all 90 seconds—something I think some Round 1 applicants wished they knew!" I guess they got some long-winded responses last time. https://som.yale.edu/director-admissions-tips-answering-video-questions

I received an email yesterday stating that a few things were missing from my application. Upon checking the status page of my application, I found it was my official GMAT score report which the admissions office hasn't received. However I had sent my scores way back in December and I got a score fulfillment receipt from Pearson as well. I am just wondering if it was an automated mail and has anyone else received a similar mail or am I missing something here. The Admissions Office needs everything before the 23rd of January to start reviewing my application.

This was a targeted email about your specific application. Since you have the fulfillment report from Pearson, send a copy of it to Yale adcom to see if they know about it; perhaps there was a mix-up between Pearson and Yale. It sounds like you have to acknowledge this or your application will be considered incomplete. Call adcom on Tuesday about it (Monday is a US holiday).

DorkusMaximus : I received the same email too.. I sent the scores to two schools on the same day and looks like only Yale didn't get it. Hopefully, they get it soon!

Thanks aerien ! I replied to the concerned Admissions Officer stating the issue. Awaiting response, post which I will forward the score fulfillment mail + pdf of unofficial score report as well as pdf of the official score report. sc652 - same thing happened with me. Had requested Pearson to send my scores to 2 other schools along with Yale SOM. I recommend you follow up on the mail just to ensure everything is okay with your application.

Any idea when Interview invites come in for R2 applicants?

The first wave of Round 1 interviews were sent on the 3rd Tuesday after the deadline (Oct 7th). 27th could be the day for the first wave of interviews for R2 applicants.

As per this post from the last year's thread, 18th Jan. However, I am not aware about the deadline of the application and the video essays. I think it was 10th Jan. yale-class-of-2016-calling-all-applicants-151332-620.html#p1319090

Sounds like I had the exact opposite experience from most. I thought I did really well on the Yale video essays but that I bombed the Northwestern video essays.

Same thing happened with me....Yale Video essay was fine but stopped couple of times in Kellogg's. Read in Kellogg's forum that they usually send Interview Invites to almost everyone. Keeping fingers crossed to get a chance for the same. Best of luck to you too as well.....I hope they are not tht particular about video questions
