Yale SOM 2013 - Calling All Applicants

I think you do. On the admitted students website:

I would imagine official means un-scanned, signed, sealed, etc. They also want your transcripts by the enrollment date.

PS. I've been creeping on here for a while, and missed Winter Welcome, but am so excited to meet you all at Welcome Weekend! Thanks for being an awesome resource.

Thanks, cabom! I guess I'll be running to the post office AND the bank this weekend. *Countdown to noon on March 1* lol

I must say, initially I was thinking 360 state is the way i want to live out b school (downtown/closer to bars/right next to train), but East Rock life may be as or potentially even more social with multiple roommates and more of a neighborhood feel. Would be amazing to get away paying 600 to 800 on rent rather than 1.3K+

Just received my invitation to interview today as a r2 applicant

Just got back from vacation (unfortunately missed Winter Welcome) and after much contemplation am now blue as well! Looking forward to meeting everyone in April!

Woohoo! You made a great choice See you in April!

Also, care to elaborate on how you made your choice? I'm sure you'll get lots of questions about it!

See you there!!!

Noooo!!! Just kidding . Glad you made the best decision for you. After all, that's what's most important in this process.

Hahaha! Don't worry, kingfalcon, you'll have other GC-ers as fellow Sloanies soon enough!

How did you recieve your interview invitation? Phone call or email?
Is there any chance I can still get one? (I submitted my application close to the deadline)

yup you do from all schools!

I got an email yesterday early afternoon. Coincidentally I was at Yale when it happened watching my old college team play squash at the national championships. I submitted a day or two prior to the r2 deadline so I wouldn't lose hope. I had assumed I missed the boat, but was wrong.

I crafted a fairly lengthy response with my reasoning yesterday evening that for some reason did not post. In short, Yale was just a better fit for my career interests (social enterprise) and in terms of the student culture which, from my experiences, was incredibly communal. I immediately felt like part of a family. Throughout the application process, I've been impressed with Yale's outreach and resources that they have already provided to me. Whether it be putting me in touch with local alumni or discussing career opportunities, if you're willing to ask, they seem very responsive with quelling any concerns. I'm ultimately looking to do some cross-collaboration with the psychology department, and they put me in touch with some contacts even before I enrolled.

This isn't to say that I had any poor experiences with MIT - the people I've met and interacted with have all been bright and high on Sloan. There is certainly a similar culture of collaboration, but I didn't get the same sense of diversity (very relative I know). There's definitely no doubting that the students there work as hard as any. If you're looking into tech, consulting, or finance, MIT has to be involved in any conversation since those areas all fall within its proverbial wheelhouse. Ultimately, I had to go with the school that best aligned with both my interests and personality. Kingfalcon was exactly right in that I ultimately made the decision based on what I wanted out of a school. I would hope that's what everyone is doing.

hi, whats the last date to hear back for an interview decision? could not find that on the Yale SOM website. I don't think it can be much longer.

I am an R2 applicant from Toronto.

Maybe it's fate Good luck at your interview!




This is completely conjecture, but since in R1 the adcom took 2 weeks before the decision date to review apps and not hold any more interviews, working backwards for R2 would mean:

Decisions released: March 28
Last interview day: March 14*
So, last invites would go out by: February 28 (assuming they give you 2 weeks to schedule the interview)

It's possible they could go into early March depending on yield from R1 as well (deposits are due on March 1). I'm just a random person on the Internet guessing though....adcom could invite people all the way to March 28 if they wanted to!

As always, it's not over until it's over so keep hoping!


*Someone with a recent invite could tell when the last available day in the system is

Live at 360. Trust me. PM with questions.

ps, all students will be gone from approx. march 2-22, so i would not expect any responses around those dates.

Have fun on spring break & your international experience trips!
