Hi all Yale MBA aspirants,

I am looking for some admission helps here, looking at the possibility of applying in R2.

I just noticed Yale SOM application requires official GMAT scores to be send to Yale even though admission is not granted yet (only for applying). Did I misunderstand anything here since I have also been working on several other Business school applications but no one of them requires official GMAT scores for applying?

Secondly, after visiting your thread, is my understanding correct that we can have another 1 week for the video essay from the application deadline (8 Jan 2015 for R2 + 7 days = 15 Jan 2015??

Thank you beforehand for your willingness to share from your experience.

Regards

Applicant from Indonesia

According to the assistant dean, generally decision is released on the decision date. But if you do have a reason, you can write to them and they will try to help. So far as I can see, Yale has been nice so if you have a reason, you can try to talk.

They all require official GMAT scores. When you take the GMAT, you can send official scores to up to 5 schools.

A piece of feedback from the assistant dean who held the reception in Shanghai last night: According to him, some more than half were reviewed, which means still many to review and to invite. So don't lose hope.

Posted from my mobile device

hmmm..I think this is the only thread of hope we need to hold on to. Indeed wait is killing a lot of us.

Seriously! They need to send out invites soon, if at all they're going to!

Yes, your understanding is correct. You get an additional one week after the application submission deadline, to submit your video essays.

Just had my Yale SOM interview in Delhi this morning !

Pretty structured interview. They plan to ask same set of questions to every invited applicant to ensure standardised feedback for the final decision.

It was more like a timed interview, strictly 30 mins. They request you not to share the questions outside. But I tell you this there is no curve ball there, nothing you won't be expecting.

Additionally, for people in London who are invited for a dinner, I would strongly recommend to go and use this opportunity. You may not be able to share your top selling points in the structured interview process.

Good luck !

So far interview dates in India have coincided with their "Yale SOM Reception" dates/locations in India (30th October in Delhi and 6th November in Mumbai). Does this mean that they are done interviewing the Indian pool and no more invites will be sent? Because any invites sent after these dates would have to be interviewed by alumni or via Skype...

I've been thinking about the same thing. It looks likely but not a 100%. They almost surely have not gone through all applications. I had applied to Kellogg 2 years back and was phone interviewed by the ad-com a week before the decision date after initially getting a interview waiver (essentially a rejection).

Aaah. Well I'm almost sure of it. I guess if the guys who interviewed could tell us how many people showed up there for an interview, we'd have our answer.

According to the attendee at SOM Beijing reception, Bruce said almost three quarters of interview invitations have been sent out and the remainder ones will be out gradually untill mid-November. If so, there seems to be fewer slots for us waiting. I am not sure if it is true.

Very interesting to hear about the format in India. I had an interview with a second year student at the Yale SOM this week when I was visiting campus (not on a scheduled date).

Very friendly and conversational interview. It was very evident that my interviewer loved Yale and wanted to play a part in picking the next class. No unexpected questions. Questions around my resume, jobs, things I do for fun, and some follow-ups about specific situations mentioned in my previous answers.

Good luck to all!

Stopping by to say good luck to everyone!! If you have interviews coming up, it's getting quite chilly here in Connecticut, so dress appropriately. No worries, there is a coat rack for you.

If you're still waiting for an invite, don't give up hope yet. It's barely November and people definitely got invited for a few more weeks in past years (check old threads for specific dates)-- my year people were even interviewing in December for Round 1. Keep your head high until you have definite reason not to.

Thanks for the positive vibes... I have no idea what to think.... I wonder if someone that is currently scheduling their Yale interview can see how many open slots there are? Is that an indicator of how many more interviews they have available?
