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?



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.

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.

The round 1 enrollment decision is due 2/28. Perhaps they are waiting to see the yield to better estimate round 2.

In any event, no one knows what's happening, so I wouldn't lose hope until it's officially over.

Yes, hurry up and tell adcom that you won't be going to Yale so the rest of us can get invites :twisted:

Unless, of course, you do decide on Yale after this weekend (this weekend is admit weekend, right?) then I wish you the best of luck in New Haven :)

I was planning to drive up tomorrow afternoon. However, someone crashed into my (parked) car this morning, so I'm not sure whether I'll still be able to make it. Working to figure things out now.

To all the other admits attending: have a blast and please post photos of the new building on the Class of 2016 Facebook page!

:lol: feel sorry for your car.. I might not be in the position to say this, but do feel that you are one of them ( SOM people, or yalies?), nice, kind and patient to others (the same as aerien) :-D
though I may not get in, but it would be nice if SOM has you :-D

Spoke with an admissions officer who said that you can still receive interview calls at any time up to the decision notification date as they continuously review applications and send out invites on a rolling basis.

To those who have interviewed so far, how are you all dealing with the "waiting game"? I'm finding it extremely challenging personally and it's just constantly on my mind. I'm trying hard to keep myself distracted but it is definitely very difficult. Any suggestions from those who have experienced this last year or during R1? I'm not typically an anxious person so I thought it may help to hear some different coping mechanisms!!

Any Indian R2 applicants who received interview invites so far? This seems like a very long wait.

All you can do is wait it out at this point. Results come out in April, so there is still a LOT of time left. I wouldn't fret just yet (or at least try not to!)
