!	Moderator Note: Post Removed. Do not post profile evaluation requests in Bschool discussions. We have dedicated profile evaluation threads for all major schools. Alternatively you can also post profile related questions in Ask admission consultants forum.

Yale has released its essays and application deadlines for the class of 2021. Deadline for the first round is on 12th Sep 2018.
Yale has asked for one required essay: “Describe the biggest commitment you have ever made (500 words maximum)”
Yale wants you to share your attributes and values with them and you may want to structure an essay that highlights your leadership skills and professional commitment.
Yale values contribution to society and you would want to demonstrate it in your application. If you have been directly employed in the social sector, your story should bring out your leadership qualities and the impact that you have created. Alternatively, you can also highlight your contributions and difference that you made through the CSR initiatives in your organization.
Good time to start working on your application and essays, especially if you are interested in applying to multiple business schools.
We at “Beyond the Gmat” provide free evaluation of your profile and guide you in selecting the best fit b-schools for your profile. We can help you find out how good your fitment is for Yale and how you can shape your application to make the impact.

14 years - You have lot of work experience. What are your plans after MBA? Staying in finance or planning a switch into another industry/job function?

Thank you discodv05, Hiren06, Eric8923 for giving your intro to fellow applicants. Good luck for the apps!

Where are all other Yale hopefuls? Anyone got started on the essays?

Hi everybody,

With 2.69 GPA and 660 Gmat, is there any chance to get admittance from YALE?

Anyone know when Yale starts interviewing folks for R1?

According to last year's thread invites started coming out ~1-1.5 weeks after the app deadline!
