Yale's application is so easy to use. Does anyone know what is the time deadline to submit the application? I am planning to take the GMAT on 25th, so want to know if I need to take it in the morning vs afternoon.

I want to say midnight. Take a look at last year's thread since I'm pretty sure the same question was asked. I think that was the one thing adcom didn't specify in the app...maybe OhDenny can help bring that up if that's the case.

Be sure to post the time if you find out what it is!

I completely agree. Definitely the easiest of all applications I've used so far. Wish they were all like that. Harvard seems to use the same system too.

A new vendor entered the MBA app scene last year and if we recall correctly, Booth was the first to deploy it. Totally agree with you both, it is SOOOOOO much better than ApplyYourself, which is what had previously been the standard. Lots of schools are still using ApplyYourself but more have moved away from it this year to the new one (Technolutions is the company name). Stanford is on ApplyYourself but apparently they've deployed a new UI so it's not nearly as clunky as the legacy version - still not as nice as this new contender though.

The first time we saw the new Technolutions UI last year we practically went into ecstasies. Leaps and bounds improvement over its predecessor.

But we get off on weird things, yes we do.

I, too, loved loved loved Yale's app vendor (whoever you are, you rock!). I think Columbia used the same vendor last year (and I'm guessing this year as well). Major props to them.

As it's now the "end" of Orientation Day #2, just wanted to give a quick shout out to all of you working hard on your applications right now. It is worth it!! I have met so many amazing people in the last few days here. Everyone has interesting stories to tell and really varied interests/perspectives that they bring. I don't think I could be in a better place than where I am now. Much 2015 love.

Sounds exciting! Glad you've had a great first two days. And the new website is a huge improvement over the old one. I'm currently in the process of writing the Yale essays for round 1 - it'll be my first submitted app this year.

I think Booth might have been the first non-SOM school to implement, but I know Technolutions has been SOM's server for the last 8 years. The CEO is a graduate of Yale College, and their office is in New Haven. Boola Boola!

10%?? That's appalling.

At least they disclose the numbers honestly, unlike the schools who include Asian Americans in that stat.

290? I thought Yale was targeting 275 this year. Are they still going to increase by 25 for c/o 2016?

Good point, but you're right, that number does NOT include Asian Americans. May we strive for an even more diverse Class of 2016!

Not sure. From a student perspective, I think a lot of us were surprised at how "large" our class is, but with the opening of the new building, there should be space for all of us and I'm guessing even a few more for 2016 ;)

Some perspective on the under-represented minority number: although it is definitely not something to boast about, it is at least somewhat in line with last year and a significant jump over 2 years ago.

URM
2013: 7% (16)
2014: 11% (27)
2015: 10% (29)

Women:
2013: 36% (82)
2014: 35% (87)
2015: 39% (113)

The good news is that because of the increase in the class size, the sheer number of under-represented minorities is higher, and the sheer number of women in the class is significantly greater.

FYI - the percentage of people who identify as US people of color is 23% (i.e. the total including Asian Americans).

I'd also mention that all of these numbers track very closely with our peer schools - Stern has 12% URMs, Duke has 9%; HBS, Stanford and Tuck only report US Minorities and are 25%/23%/15% (!!!), respectively. I agree that 'appalling' applies to the dearth of URMs in B-School, but it's a systematic thing rather than solely related to SOM.

Your data isn't quite right, we verified with the GSB directly last year that they only report underrepresented minorities. They're at 20% for Class of 2014. Agreed that it's systemic but 10%? For one of the smallest bschool classes around? It should be higher. We appreciate that absolute numbers are rising, and we know that Yale is part of the Consortium, but they need to do better.

Also where are you getting your other numbers? Duke is showing 22% minorities which we assume (unconfirmed) includes Asian-Americans; NYU shows 29% which we know (confirmed) does include them. Where did your 9% and 12% come from? The NYU difference would be very surprising, that means that 17% of Stern's class is Asian-American? Really?

About 30% of the U.S. population are African-American/Black or Hispanic; only 5% are Asian-American. These numbers seem flipped in bschool populations.

Specifically: HBS at 25% (if that's ex-Asian-Americans) is almost representative of the US population so good on them (not "!!!").

Don't want to turn this into a whole affirmative action or social justice debate or whatever but we are a stickler for reporting accurate data to the applicant community so just looking to know where you got yours from.

@dudeascending, we just gave you kudos for that post, not because of what you said, but because you spelled "bellwethers" correctly.
