I also got interview invitation on 20th as well! so Excited!!! Any international applicants here will request to off-campus interview? Is off campus interview will hurt my qualification?

Is there anyone can answer above my question? I almost decide to have interview at off-campus as I live in Singapore; need to fly to other ASIA cities though. but just worried if it give negative impact on admission.

Not an international applicant, but I wouldn't worry about it. It think you have to take them at their word when they say that where you interview has no impact on your admissions decision. These schools have people from all over the world applying (like you!) and it's just not practical to expect applicants to travel half way around the world for a 30 minute interview.

There's probably good reason to want to see the campus for your own sake, but that's different than thinking it will sink your application in the admissions process. At the end of the day, becoming "the most international business school" is one of their 3 stated highest priorities, so they have good reason to be understanding on this issue.

Thank you for advice! Yes it was quite challenging for me to fly over esp. current busy season- we are doing business planning for next year. It takes more than 1 days as there is no direct flight to New York. I will show my passion to Yale at an interview! :)

yea,

especially since most of these are on the weekdays. I don't know about all you guys, but my office is not aware I am applying. I can't reasonably take off last minute days with a week or so notice. It probably wouldn't even be approved without legitimate reason. Furthermore, in my industry, this is the busiest time (feb-april) - even saturdays are not truly mine. All this to say, even though I really really wanted to go interview on campus - i will be doing a lot with local alumni. If Yale gives a saturday date (and i get invited), I will drive down. otherwise it's just not possible for me

Is there anyone can answer above my question? I almost decide to have interview at off-campus as I live in Singapore; need to fly to other ASIA cities though. but just worried if it give negative impact on admission.

This question comes up a lot. For almost any school, anywhere, the rule of thumb is:

Do you live driving distance (<3-4hrs): you should go in person or it looks like you don't care
Do you live driving distance 5+hrs: can go in person, not a huge deal if you don't
Is it a cheap / easy flight?: could go in person, scheduling could be an issue if you have a busy job or whatnot. meh. finances are also potentially an issue. Either way, going shows higher likelihood of yield but the effect is minimal
Is it a long distance: (e.g. UK applicant to an AUS school): its highly likely you will not be able to go in person but good on ya if you can make it. local in-person or Skype interview is expected. They aren't going to penalize anyone for not hopping on a 10 hour plane ride :).

Thank you for advice to both of you! I decided to do off-campus interview. :)

Hi everyone, congrats and good luck to all who already got their interview invites!

I have a question - do you see the status of your application anywhere when you are logged in?

The page with the application proof and video essays says the following : "The status of your application appears below" - but there is no status whatsoever to be found...
Any comments/advice on where I should look?

Thanks a lot!

Are there any reapplicant who got invitations?

Adcom said routinely they don't interview reapplicant. But how do they measure the improvement of reapplicant, just a 250-word reapp essay? Sounds like so weird...

"Torturous" is a good start. I've been monitoring my e-mail every day since they sprayed out a bunch at 2:28 ET Tuesday (maybe). Received an admissions newsletter yesterday from Yale SOM - sick little trick, that.

Yeah, and it started off "From the Director of Admissions:" and that was all that was in my mail program preview when I saw it. Tsk, tsk.

Reapplicant here as well. I was not aware that they don't interview reapplicants. :cry:
SOM's reapplicant essay was brutal with limited word count. Other schools were more generous or asked for a cover letter. I believe they will be judging us based on our video essays which I hope does not happen.

Wow...just tuned it out of boredom and am excited now with the first invites having been sent out already.

And here I thought the remainder of January will be easy-going until we hear back sometime in February...well that didn't work...

I have no idea about the application status changes, but you should update your email address with the admissions office. Email them (with your new email address) or give them a call with the updated information. Interview information is released through email, so you'll want to make sure you have access to that information!
