Calling all Yale 2008 applicants

Yeah I'm just concerned because I had my score report sent when I took the test two months ago. I submitted Sunday and it still says awaiting. I e-mailed them Sunday but still haven't heard back.

Yeah, I hear ya. I paid for the GMAT score report to be sent there in mid-September and it still says that they are waiting for it. Hopefully it will be fine.

FYI, just received this:

Dear Jeremey,



Thank you for your note. We are working to assemble applications quickly but this process will take another few weeks to be completed. If you sent your score reports they are likely on file in our office and will be matched with your materials soon. Thanks for your patience.



Best regards,

Michelle Vitali

Associate Director of Admissions for

Communications and Outreach

On the first look, I thought it was an interview call. With a pang of jealously , I read through it and found it to be...

when can we expect interview calls? Mid Nov?

Well the deadline isn't until tomorrow, perhaps they will send out an e-mail like Wharton does which details the timeline.

I would expect them to start sending them 2-3 weeks after the deadline, so yeah, mid Nov probably...

Ok, So on submission, I get the following

Awaiting: Reference (XXX, XXX)
Submitted on 2007-10-XX
E-mail: XX@XX

How can the status be submitted and awaiting at the same time???

submitted...one down.

Submitted.

Cheers!

Submitted...had to go trhough couple of horrors...but submitted....

torpedoes away!

Good luck everyone!

I am aiming for R2.

submitted today, easy app to do

Does anyone know what hotels to stay at for Yale?

I see they listed 3 hotels in their website,

Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale
155 Temple Street
203.772.6664 / 800-THE-OMNI

The Marriott Courtyard at Yale
30 Whalley Avenue
203.777.6221

New Haven Hotel
229 George Street
203.498.3100


But I think the Marriott hotel is in a really bad neighborhood. I hear Yale itself is in a bad neighborhood, but anyone with experience with these hotels?

What about you guys that are going to explore diversity? What hotel are you going to?

We are staying at the Courtyard. I will let you know how it is.

I'm staying at the Omni.

Check out these reviews.

Of the 3 hotels listed, only the Courtyard reviewers mentioned the shady neighborhood. And if you look at all 3 locations, only the Courtyard is by itself.

But when it was all said and done, I went with the higher priced hotel. All 3 are the same distance to Yale, so they have to be doing something right in order to charge more. Unless of course, everyone thinks like me and they are in fact, the crappiest of the 3. It's only 1 night.

lanter,

So what kind of events do they have planned for you that weekend?

It is a comprehensive weekend geared toward people who have applied in R1 and those who have not taken the GMAT. Unfortunately I can't stay til Monday and visit a class. The first day we get to meet with Admissions and current students, the career development office, tour of school reception and attend a party that night. On Sunday we have an application session, ledership development presentation, lunch with Dean Podolny, an alumni panel, a student life panel, and a reception with dinner.

Unfortunately I can't stay on Monday due to work (i am beginning to hate work more everyday especially having to miss a class at Yale)...I am also having my interview on Saturday during the GMAT presentation....i will take the tradeoff. Also, I am flying up Friday night and will have until 1pm on Saturday to walk around campus and tour New Haven.

Is there any information my fellow GMATclubbers would like to know or questions you would like asked. Let me know.

Sounds fun.

If I read that correctly, you got invited to interview.

Congratulations.

You will probably have to get a J visa to study. B1/B2 is only for tourist, and it might be seen as "visa fraud" to study on such a visa
