Update in case helpful to anyone - I was waitlisted post interview. The only issue with my application was my low test score. So if you're like me, it's going to be an uphill battle, but not impossible. I'm not holding my breath about getting off of the waitlist, but the folks on the other side were really compassionate while providing me feedback on my application (I think that was like the nicest way anyone has told me my score needs to be higher)! I'm happy I gave it my all though and I'm excited for all the folks who will be part of the upcoming class! I had a 155Q / 160V, 3.8 GPA, between 5-10 years of experience (impact investing and large social enterprises), and really deep involvement with a few nonprofits focused on the industry I want to deepen my exposure to.

Hi! Were you waitlisted when asking for the feedback? I got dinged. I’m curious to know where I could’ve improved.

Hey folks, to all of our R1 soldiers, congrats to those admitted! Do you we have any R2 here, as the deadline is in 2 weeks (Jan 4)?

@ThrivingWind what’s your background?

That’s definitely helpful to everyone who’s been following your updates! How did you get feedback? Also, has this not tempted you to consider re-testing?

Hey friends, I have 2 doubts and would request your suggestions. Giving some context - Indian Male - 720 GMAT score with decent profile – 6 yrs work ex (2 years EY + 4 Years Managerial work ex in Industry in M&A and Strategy), National Rank 17 in CA (equivalent to CPA). Doubt 1 – Should I even consider applying to Yale with the above Stats? Do I stand any chance? Doubt 2 – If I apply this year and get rejected, would it hurt my chance to get selected next year as Reapplicant?

Yale mentioned there is a little extra time for the LoRs,, does anyone know how much time does that mean ?

Hi everyone, about me - 4 year exêxperience (1 year- an auditor EY; 2 years Financial Analyst for an startup- 1 year start my own bussiness) - Gmat 720; -GPA: 3.64/4 Should I consider applying for Yale? Do I have any chance?

I applied in R1, the deadline was Sep 12, my LOR went in on 16th I believe. On the portal, it’s mentioned- the post application materials submission deadline like Video essay and Behavioral Assessment. I believe that deadline is also valid for LORs. Drop in a mail to MBA Admissions @ Yale. They’ll answer
