Hey y'all, are any of us trying our luck in R3? I know that Yale, as well as many other B-schools, suggests that Round 3 is a little bit late for international students due to the long visa process.

Good question. I remember Yale and many other B-schools say that they treat Rounds 1 and 2 equally, meaning you will have around the same chance of getting in (and dinged). But for round 3, the number of accepted tends to be less than that of the previous two rounds. Take the class of 2025 for example, they had 339 enrollment, and the yield rate is around 40 - 50%. So you are looking at around 700 accepted, which means around 200 got accepted during round 3 if my math is correct.
