I interviewed today and I'm happy to say that it was incredibly "low threat". Very conversational with no real difficult questions. If anyone has any particular questions, feel free to ask.

When I logged into the online account https://admissions.som.yale.edu/apply/ today, I saw the status 'Submitted'.

Should it be 'Under Review'? To be honest I am losing hope...

I read on an earlier post that re-applicants that interviewed last year wouldn't be invited to interview again this year. Is this true?

The "Submitted" status never changes, even once you receive an interview invitation or complete an interview. When you open up your application, the following activities will show up as you receive/schedule/complete an interview.

RECENT ACTIVITIES
Date Details
02/10/2014 Interview Complete
01/17/2014 Interview Scheduled: 02.10.2014 (1:00 PM)
01/17/2014 Interview Requested
01/09/2014 Payment Received: 225.00 USD
Application Fee

Hope this helps - don't lose hope!!! There is still plenty of time.

No questions on the interview, but did you do a full day on campus? If so, I'd love to hear how you found your overall experience. Did you get to sit in on a class? What was that like? What vibe did you get from students and professors? Did you feel like you got a good sense of the culture there?

Hi Everyone -

I am wondering what is the percentage of people that are invited to interview at Yale SOM? And from there, the percentage that get admitted?

Thanks!

I believe, and aerien or one of the other current YSOM students can correct me here, that Yale interviews 30% of applicants and then accepts roughly 40-50% of those interviewed.

I think from my research it was around 60% acceptance rate of interviewees. I'm not sure which is more up to date.

Anyway, finished my interview and visit yesterday. Hope I get accepted!

I just did the full day on campus. We had a Yale Campus Tour and Yale SOM New Building Tour. I absolutely love the campus! The most beautiful campus that I have ever been to. Feel like Oxford.

As for the interview, I found it to be very strange. My interviewer had a list of 6 strange behavioral questions that he read off a list. He didn't go off the script at all, and we ended with a Q&A session.

Someone back in round 1 posted a link to a poets and quants article that mentioned the percentages. I don't remember them off the top of my head, but there was an interesting article with the dean.

https://poetsandquants.com/2013/09/05/th ... agement/4/

"It’s probably a quarter to a third of the pool. Contrary to other schools, I try to interview fewer rather than more."

I was on campus earlier this week and the Associate Director of Admissions was very straightforward with numbers - he said that this year, they are interviewing about 25% of the applicant pool with approximately 60% of interviewees being admitted.

I agree! The behavioural questions all felt a bit strange and convoluted - and I'm not sure I was able to convey all the points I was hoping to. It was definitely very conversational but I left feeling like there was more I had wanted to express.
