Last year Yale interviewed around 35% of Rnd. 2 GMAT club applicants, and the year before that it was even higher (around 45%). Obviously statistics on this forum are skewed, but since we're only at 12% invited so far, I am going to optimistically choose to think that there is still hope for those of us waiting!

I am a bit confused about the status of my application. All it says under "status" is submitted. Also, upon opening the application - "the status of your application appears below" and then there is no mention of any status. So I'm unsure of whether the admissions team has started reviewing my application or not... Does it say "application under review" or something similar for the other candidates?

Thank you for your help.

If you submitted your application in time, they are reviewing it. Everything is done manually per what i was told, so it might take time to update statuses

Yeah, no news in a while. (Any more decisions?) A fresh week now, we're getting fairly deep into R2... hopefully some good news soon?

EDIT: it looks like Yale is kind of the opposite of CBS in terms of decisions. With CBS, the rejections have been coming first, and the longer without a rejection, the better. But has Yale rejected anyone yet? It seems that all the decisions so far have been invites to interview, so no news so far is bad news.

Notice how all the decisions on Clear Admit so far have been invitations:

https://blog.clearadmit.com/livewire/?school=yale-som

I think Yale might be interviewing the best applicants first, and waiting to reject people. Maybe admissions goes over most of the other applications 3 or 4 times to decide which of the rest of us in the middle of the pack really deserve an interview.

This is the complete opposite of CBS's Clear Admit wire, which has a string of rejections instead.

Had a great interview last Friday (Super Interview day) - in the middle of a snowstorm! Yale has been amazing so far through the whole process - first they sent us emails advising us of the inclement weather and offering to reschedule or Skype interviews to anyone who couldn't make it. Then day-of, they were very accommodating about missed interview times due to the weather and were very flexible and efficient, going off-script from their planned schedule and holding impromptu tours for everyone who was waiting for their interviews.

Also, I received a very sweet email from my interviewer (nice personal touch that the other schools haven't done!) as well as a "buddy" from the Yale Women in Management program, offering to answer any questions I might have. Definitely made a positive impression on me!

for those who have received interview invites or have already been interviewed - is that reflected on your application status or shown under "recent activities"? (I am hoping that I have not missed their emails and if so I would be able to check the updates on my application status page...)

I haven't interviewed yet - having it this Friday - but on the webpage under recent activities there is a note that an interview has been requested.

Hey there, did you apply second round through the consortium? I'm just trying to figure out where I stand. It seems as if all 2nd round consortium are considered 3rd rounders at the schools.

I just got an email last night with an interview invitation, but it looks like there are only three days open, two of which are this Thursday and Friday! Hopefully they'll let me do a Skype interview; I don't think I can make it up there on such short notice. Anybody else opt for a Skype interview instead?

Anyone know how Yale announces decisions? Is it on the stated date (i.e. March 25) or is it like rolling, like interview decisions? If the latter, when would they start trickling in?
