How strict is Yale about recommendations being submitted before the 5:00pm deadline? My app has been in for a couple of days, but I'm starting to worry about whether my recommenders will submit on time. If they submit tomorrow (or early next week), will Yale still count me as an R2 applicant, or will they roll me into R3 (like HBS)?

Yes, they will count you as a Round 2 applicant but if the recommender is late more than a few days it does not make a good impression.

I actually called the admissions office for this very issue.

And I quote, "deadline is for you only."

Submitted for R2.. Reapplicant. W/L last year... Looking at the thread, look like R1 reapplicants had very little success.. Any Reapplicants in R1 who made it through?

I think you will be now be considered a R3 applicant. You might want to call them and ask.

Didn't ask for feedback... pretty sure I know what my weaknesses are. I'm visiting campus next week, sent a brief email reaffirming my interest, will send another letter after visiting campus to clarify/elaborate on some stuff in my app.

has anyone accepted their offer yet? I noticed the link to pay the enrollment deposit just takes you to the application page...I'm guessing there'll be a new link after you click the accept offer button but more importantly... I was wondering if paying now would allow you to start the BG verification process earlier or if the school plans on waiting until after the deadline, submitting all the data to kroll at once, and then asking everyone to pay the additional fee within the 10 or so days after the enrollment deadline...

a lot to swallow, I know.

I accepted the offer but have not paid the deposit yet. I like that Yale allows you to do that. I got an automatic letter saying they have reserved my spot. I will pay the deposit soon and then see about the BG verification process, even though it really doesn't matter to me since my employers know about me going to school.

yeah I just kind of want to get it over with as soon as possible as one less thing to even think about - but if there's no benefit to shelling out a grand a half now vs. later I suppose I should continue collecting coins

let us know what you find out!

google VOE and VOI... most large companies use a vendor called theworknumber.com - even the government uses it. it lists your start date, end date, salary, title... the employer won't even know a VOE has been conducted. smaller companies will more than likely get a call to the HR department. people like kroll don't (and possibly cannot) disclose the reason for verification. worknumber lists all employers that use their service. if yours is one, you are entitled to an annual disclosure that will show everyone who has accessed your data within the past 2 years (banks, other bg check vendors, etc.) - VOE and VOI is extremely common. when I accepted my last job they used a company like kroll and it was over the same day I signed my acceptance letter. there are an infinite number of reasons someone would verify employment. all banks do this when you're going for a loan of any reasonable size (car loan, home loan, etc.) - I wouldn't sweat them finding out through the process. that said - when you sign your life away to an "investigative consumer report" which differs from a normal CR...you are authorizing kroll to actually conduct interviews with folks. I believe this is mainly done because they are more than likely going to call your recommenders but just to confirm minor stuff. if it wasn't an ICR they wouldn't be allowed to contact the recommenders. anyway the only thing you really need to worry about is data being loaded incorrectly at any point in your life and then having to deal with explanations to kroll, the stress, etc. etc. that's why I personally just want it over with asap
