We understand that it may not be possible for you to visit New Haven for your interview. If that is the case, please let us know by contacting Yale SOM Admissions and we can offer you a Skype interview. Additionally, Admissions Officers will be traveling to the following cities on select days for in-person interviews: London, Mumbai, Delhi, Shanghai, Beijing, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Menlo Park. Please notify the Admissions Office if you would prefer to interview in one of these locations.

I see.. Thanks.

and good luck!~

Also got an interview invite last night. I submitted at about 3 PM the day it was due, so I think it's just a matter of luck as to whether they've reviewed your app yet or not.

I got an invite too! Does anyone know whether requesting an off-campus interview such as in Shanghai or a skype interview would hurt my chance to get accepted?

It's not going to impact your chances one way or the other.

Any domestic applicants receive invites?

I'm domestic.

this is pretty true-I was probably one of the last applicants to interview and I did everything possible to get to campus for the interview - I also got in! Keep your head up!

Thank you dropkicksam!

I also received the invite to interview email on Friday (1/17). It took me completely by surprise - SO quick! Definitely started my weekend off right Good luck to everyone else out there!

I'm a domestic applicant (F/Consulting/West Coast).

Hello current SOM students and applicants,

I plan to apply to Yale SOM class of 2017 and was wondering if I could receive some insights on the Yale Philanthropy Conference hosted by Yale SOM on 2/7/2014.

I just read about YPC (ypc.yale.edu) and I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to go for two reasons.

1. I am an aspiring future applicant and it would be a great opportunity for me to visit Yale (especially the new Building ) and perhaps talk to some current students.

2. I have been working on a non-profit start up for some time now and I think I could learn some wonderful knowledge at this conference. I hope to bring my non-profit board members to come with me as well!

What are your thoughts on this conference? Is it for someone like me (It is actually quite expensive $110/person and hotel and I plan to pay for my board members)? What are some ways for me to meet/talk to some current students? Lastly, any restaurant recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Missing app materials - I got a notification saying my GMAT score report has not been received by the admissions office. Really strange, re-checked that I had sent it 10 days prior to the deadline and for the right course.

I have only until 3 days to ensure the scores are received by Yale. Sent an e-mail to the adcom, called as well but Admissions Office seems to be closed today.

Anyone ever faced a similar situation?

Do you have a receipt of your request to send additional score reports with Yale's name on it? I would send that alongside a PDF of your score report in the interim. You can also call GMAC and rush order additional score reports if necessary/

Hello,

I received the same notification for missing materials. I was under the impression that Yale did not require official score reports until candidates were being admitted (like other schools). So I e-mailed back with a copy of my scanned report just in case, but of course they are closed today so I can't rest assure yet.

Do you know if Yale absolutely requires an official score report from GMAC? If so, I shall see if a rush delivery can be arranged now.

Thanks!

It does. you should rush it but still might be too late.

This thought crossed my mind, but the same score fulfilment report was sent to UCLA, Ross, Booth, Yale and Rotman having explicit mention of all schools in that single mail. I wasn't particularly comfortable sharing all that with Yale SOM. But if push comes to shove maybe I will, tonight.

I spoke to GMAC and they are pretty confident Yale would be able to locate it if tried again. So maybe one more shot at contacting Admissions Office otherwise resend. Pretty crappy set of circumstances.
