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?


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


Gianfranco is right. They'll send details for parking, but if you do end up parking somewhere with a meter, remember your quarters!

Hotels: There's actually a list here: https://som.yale.edu/yale-som-connect/plan-visit
When I interviewed, a lot of people stayed at the Courtyard Marriott. It's close to campus (basically across the street from the campus bookstore) and everything will be walking distance from there if you don't want to rent a car.

And GOOD LUCK!

For applicants that have interviewed all it said was that final decisions will be released on the Dec. 9 deadline

Thanks DTOMAS. I remember they sent that last year but i have not received it this year. Maybe because I'm a reapplicant who they won't interview as per their policy for not inviting applicants to interview again if they've been invited within the last two years.

Same boat brother!

Hope for a better result this year. Haven't had any clue about what they think about my application.
Atleast last year with the interview call, I knew I had a shot. This year am all in the dark.

I received a similar email but mine didn't say they were "re-looking" at some applications. It said "At this point, most interview invitations for the round have been extended. Since we are sill reviewing applications, additional invitations may go out in the coming weeks."

Haha yeah. Last year you knew you had a near 50% chance of admission and some chance of WL bc we were at least invited for the interview. While they strongly encouraged reapplying over the summer (after I was removed from the waitlist in March), I have had little to no contact with AdCom since then since they won't reinvite us. More nerve-wracking then last year for sure.

Same here. Mine did not say they were re-looking but just that they were still reviewing applications.

I'm taking this e-mail as, "its probably not gonna happen pal". Oh well, Stern gave me the thumbs up so that's where I'm headed. With a splash of cynicism and perhaps some sour grapes, it's Yale's loss, not mine. Ha!

Not to make matters worse, but more give an idea of what might be happening (because I would want this myself):
I got an interview invite late Sunday night, and there was only one day left of interviews (this Friday, which made for the most expensive plane ticket ever). This made me assume that I barely squeaked my way in there and that might be one of the last wave of interviews to go out since there was only one day left as to when you could interview on campus.

This is no scientific thinking, but wanted to let you know my thought process and give a bit of transparency.

2 people have already listed "Denied without Interview." Have they actually started dinging people?

The email yesterday said they will inform people of interview decisions "BY" December 9th. Could this mean earlier?
