Yale Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

DC

I also received my interview invite yesterday at around 2 pm. Best of luck to those waiting.

US or International ?

so looks like they have done sending out invites this week?

Anybody in Asia who got the invite? Anybody know if they send out invites geographically?

I am kind of shocked by the lack of movement thus far... Maybe its just an ultra-competitive year.

seems like last year most of the invites went out around Nov 1st....so let's hope that they big wave is approaching soon.

Guys,

I am US based applicant and I have a question about Yale's interview invitation process...I logged onto my online application and I see a link that says "Interview Requested - Click here to respond".

My question is: is this a formal request for Yale SOM's interview process, as in, the admissions committee completed review of my file and I am being invited to New Haven for an interview. The reason I ask this question is - I did not receive an email of any kind, so I just wanted to make sure before I get my hopes up . My invitation to Cornell was much more formal, email followed by a phone all, so any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thank you so much.

seems like you are invited for an interview. Did you check your spam folder or maybe the email will be forthcoming.

Ya, I asked 'aerien' a similar question. Hope he responds soon with his insights .

gautamthegr8, I'm pretty sure you are good to go for the interview, as that was my application status said once I received the interview email. I'd go ahead and schedule a time if it lets you, or hang tight for your personal email before doing so if you want to be careful...optimistic congrats.

Hey, gautamthegr8. I am faced with the same situation. And I am an India-based applicant. I guess good luck to the both of us.

same here..got an invite on the application but not through email.

Congratulations to everyone that got the invite. Do you guys know if your status changed to under review? Cos mine's still stuck on submitted

seems like Yale is still sending invites to applicants with very high GMAT scores. Hope they soon move over to re: GMAT<700 applicants.

Ok. Someone check last year's thread, but I remember invites going out until the week before Thanksgiving. However you guys hear back about a week earlier than we did, so the interview timeline may also be adjusted accordingly. I wouldn't freak out on Halloween if you don't have the email by then....I'd probably start thinking of other options / hold out for WL by Thanksgiving Day, just based on logistics of scheduling interviews / reviewing applications after the interview, etc

Just out of curiosity, will I be at a disadvantage by interviewing in HK/Shanghai without a campus visit? I plan to visit later this year when I have time off but was debating whether this would be seen poorly by the admissions team.

Just checked my email - got the interview invite :D .. super excited and above all super relieved after the nightmarish video essay :D.
Though the email invites you for an interview in New Haven, I will ask them to reschedule the interview to an international location.
