You seem to be a SOM "type" with your background and interests, but the academics also matter. Can you retake the GRE (or take the GMAT instead)? Your GRE score correlates to about a 560 GMAT, which almost always gets rejected (I don't have GRE data, but the last intake of 300+ SOM students had a GMAT 620 as the minimum). I did a campus visit at SOM and one of the admissions officers said they like to see at least 70% percentile in both quant and verbal GMAT subscores, but the GRE is easier, so you would need to get the GRE V up to at least 158-160 and the GRE Q to about 163-165 to be competitive.

Where did you go to college? US or a different country?

Hi All,

Can someone please help me understand what Yale means by the following question -
If you have a graduate degree, how, if at all, does pursuing an MBA relate to your previous graduate studies?

I have a bachelor in engineering.

I think they are specifically talking about grad school (masters / PhD / etc.) your bachelors is an undergraduate degree.

You don't have to write anything if there is nothing. I went to a campus visit, and Margie said that the optional essay is "truly optional." I wrote mine about the choice of recommenders, but wouldn't have had anything to write if that wasn't relevant.

Submitted and finished video essays.

I thought the video questions were a bit more hardball than Kellogg, but that's because Kellogg really only asks you one unexpected question and it's a fun one.
