There is a Yale SOM chat today at noon EST (about nonprofit specializations). I wanted to go but unfortunately I have a meeting I cannot miss at that same time. Anyone planning to go? Do you think those presenting might have an idea about the interview schedule? I am trying to not be that annoying person, and I know what they said on the website, but my heart is starting to sink right about now.

It does seem like the interview invites have started to dry up. I feel like I'm just waiting around for the ding at this point. Very disappointing.

I don't think they could have gotten through all of the applications over a month before the deadline. There haven't been any interview invites in about 2 or 3 weeks (based on people commenting here). So that would mean that invites stopped 6 weeks earlier than Yale claimed they would. I highly doubt invites are over.

But it still sucks to wait.

Nothing about interview/applications are discussed in such chats. It is focused only on the topic it is about and it should be that way. You can read the chat at the same link even afterwards. I think it will be available for some time although I am not sure.

Hey elisej. I don't think you need to worry about this if you are interviewing with an adcom or a 2nd year student.

Caveat as someone with zero visibility into what they actually ask you, while there are many accounts of past interviews for many schools across the interwebs, whoever interviewing you likely has some leeway in what they ask you, with a handful of exceptions. However, there are still countless examples of interviewers throwing curveballs left and right and interviewees not being happy with that (yours truly included). You just have to be ready for whatever comes at you. pk87, thanks for taking this in stride, and I hope it pays off for you in the end!

Hey all! Wanted to highlight these reports on Clear Admit on Yale SOM video interview questions:

https://blog.clearadmit.com/2013/10/yale ... terview-2/
https://blog.clearadmit.com/2013/10/yale ... interview/

The Einstein quote is, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."


I got off easy compared to whoever received that question :shock:

No interview invites reported in a month. Any other round 1 applicants still keeping hope alive?

Not really. At present, I'm trying to move on emotionally to the schools that actually DO want me.

Interestingly the stats here indicate quite low numbers. So there may still be reason for optimism :-).

Hey guys, I just interviewed on campus today next to at least 70-80 other folks. The invite numbers on this thread are certainly LOW. Just figured I throw the info out there.

70-80 in one day?? That seems unrealistic.

As someone who saw campus taken over by prospective students yesterday, 70-80 is a pretty realistic estimate of the number of interviewees. Hope those of you who made it out enjoyed your time here, and good luck come December!

This completely seal any hope I had to get an invite.
Too bad.. I travelled half the world to visit campus (visit my top 3 choices only) a few months back and I really felt good about my app.

Can any current students or people who have already interviewed recommend a decent hotel in the area? I'm not looking to pay too much, but I want someplace decent.

Also, how is parking on campus?

It came in a couple of hours before I posted. But, it was sent on Sunday evening, which is why I totally wasn't expecting it.

close to your interview date Yale will send you an email with instructions on how to park on campus. They'll give you access to a lot that's a 5 min walk away from the school (it's free).

I stayed in the "New Haven Hotel" south of campus. The room was pretty standard, no complaints. And it's a short walk from many restaurants
