My guess is Yale is much more competitive this year - maybe another 25~30% rise in applicants?

Rejected without interview yesterday. Applied in R2. White male from DC, 7 years consulting experience, 3.6 / 700. Not a great cycle for me so far. Still holding out hope for my remaining schools (including my two top choices) though.

Based on previous year's applicant roster post on this forum, appears last year they invited 38%/35% of applicants to interview in R1/R2 respectively, while this year, numbers are down to 28%/25% respectively. I'd say this is quite significant.

Assuming the total # invites is kept the same from last year (~1060 invites total across all rounds based on 60% pass rate after interview and 50% enrollment rate), they must be expecting slightly short of 4000 applicants total across all rounds. I believe the past year they had ~2700 applicants, so they must be seeing either a huge increase in overall app# and/OR alternatively they are expecting a higher enrollment rate this year that they are extending less invites overall (I believe enrollment rate jumped from low/mid 40% to low 50% this past year). For example, if they're now expecting 55% yield and 60% pass rate after interview, then they still would've received ~3700 apps: still a significant increase in app #. A positive indicator for the program regardless and tougher competition for all :(

Good luck everyone!

Stay positive, Yale's yield is roughly 50%. That means you have a solid chance of getting admitted off the W/L.

With that said, how did your interview go?

I went to the campus for my interview and was quite satisfied as interviewer mentioned that she was impressed. She even showed me the photographs of the place she comes from. I somehow believe it was not the interview that got me waitlisted..probably some other aspect of my application.
My GPA is definitely very low that could be one reason..

Yes, I am also banking on Yale's low yield :)
