Everyone here is just speculating, including me. The only people who really knows are the adcoms and they won't be posting here.
When going through my app again, I noticed a few things that points to why GMAT is very important to SOM:
- No where in the apps do they ask for extracurr activities. most schools ask for extracurr before and after college, nor was there an essay asking about it.
- Reco is completely free flow. No questions asked. Its like they ask for it because every other school requires 2.
- Only one short essay about Why SOM. The other essay is free form. Again, it doesn't seem like SOM is looking for much in these essays other than the ability to write coherently.
- Yale's Ranking has been stuck in the bottom of the 20 and the president of yale has been criticizing the program for not catching up to the rest of the univ in ranking. The fastest way to up this ranking is to decrease the class size and increase GMAT scores.
- The app is by far the easiest app that i've done. Like the common application in undergrad, making an application easier will increase more people to apply because they can re-use their other apps and make very few modifications. I for one did not apply to too many top 10 schools because their apps require far more effort and time.

Keep the app simple and get more applications. Reduce the class size drastically and thereby reduce the acceptance rate. Hey...we are super-selective. Yale screwed it up when they decided to position themselves as a public-policy MBA. It will take years of undoing...
