I didn't receive this email. Instead I received an email where it was written - "We’ll continue to send out invitations throughout the majority of the round – and beyond."

So, I'm really not sure what to make of all this. I think they will continue to send out invites till the decision date approaches. This is a very nerve-wracking process indeed! I wish there was a set date on which interview invites are sent out like certain schools.

Those who have received the interview invites, have you submitted your official GMAT scores to Yale School of Management MBA, Full-Time? I haven't submitted my official scores yet. Is this one of the reasons for not receiving Yale SOM's invite?

Are they done inviting anymore, after the first batch?? I’m getting anxious about this now...

As the official website says "Although we try to extend invitations as early as possible, they may be extended as late as the admissions decision deadline."
Yesterday, could see US invites more, no invites from India yet! Good luck everyone!

Does anybody know if final offers are all released on one day for round two or if they are rolling?
