Breathe. It's over now.

There are a lot of accounts here since 2013 about people felt they didn't do well on the video interview and still got an interview invite. I doubt the video (nor any 1 part of your app) is a make-or-break deciding factor. Instead, I assume and have it on good accord that adcom looks at your app as an entire package. Each part of your app gives them a little more insight into who you are, what makes you you, and how you'll fit into the greater class. This video is just one of those factors.

Go take a walk. Try not to beat yourself up about it. Think about the great parts you were able to show adcom and focus on that. There's a ton of time in the admissions process; try not to stress over things you can't change now.

Appreciate the kind words!

Regardless of whether it's a troll, invites should start going out around now anyway and continue through February.

The R1 welcome weekend is the last weekend of January so id expect R2 interviews to start after that. Agree with the above on timeline to expect invites. Check the admissions blog for any actual hints direct from the source though.

Hey guys,

I want to seek your advice.

I did not know that Yale required Official test score report. I realized it when I got an email from Yale SOM. Email said that all scores should arrive by January 24th to be considered for Round 2.

I sent my official score report today, but it looks like it takes 5 business days for ETS to send the score...That means the score will get there on January 25th.

What action should I take? Should I contact the Adcom?

Thank you so much!

It'll be ok. You sent the scores. Now just wait for them to receive it and process it. If they need something from you, they'll reach out and let you know.

Everyone else, send in your official scores!

I just took the video interview and... I failed miserably. I practiced so much for it but when it came to the real thing, I just froze up and kept spewing words. I'm so disappointed in myself.

Did not post earlier because I didn't want to demoralize anyone, but I think I also failed miserably. You're not alone :)

It sounds like most people had similar experiences with the video questions, so I wouldn't worry. I feel like the whole point of the video questions is to take people out of their comfort zone. I mean, they're only giving you 60 seconds to answer deep philosophical questions about the relationship between business and society. Pretty much everyone's going to struggle in that situation.

Thank you Aerien and thank you so much for all the advice and support you're giving to perspective students! I spent a few days reading your posts about school applications and different thoughts ( as creepy as it sounds lol), I found a lot of useful information.

I reside in the US, but I'm also a dual citizen. Not sure if it makes any difference.

Haha not creepy at all (well...maybe kinda? :P). That's what the posts are for. GC was a huge help to me when I was going through this process so I try to give back as I can to the community.

Does anyone know if interview invites are sent out all at once or staggered?

Looks like a few applicants have heard back already -- congrats!
