Yale Class of 2016 Calling all applicants!

I'm figuring out how I can beat the video interview. May I ask what the questions were??

I doubt anyone will tell you their exact questions, but none were too off-the-wall. Just prep for it like you would a normal on-campus interview and you'll do fine. The visible countdown clock is more likely to throw you off than the questions themselves. I'd try a few dry runs with a timer before you tackle the real thing.

This.

Several people posted their questions earlier in this forum. There are also some posted on ClearAdmit. But, it seems like the set of questions used in Round 1 was replaced with a new set in Round 2. So, I don't think you can "beat" the video.

Also, I completely agree with ndukyh. I felt I did quite poorly on Yale's video questions, but I was ultimately admitted with a significant scholarship. I think the school is really just trying to see your personality.

I'm an international applicant and trying to applying for the 3rd. round. Do you guys think I still have a chance to get accepted?

Thanks and congrats

Looks like the invite stream has hit a halt.

Let's hope it's temporary as I'm most definitely still waiting. (I'm watching those numbers like a hawk so hope to hear of a new batch of invites going out soon - possibly like those Fridays that happened back in January??). It's been said that Yale does work till the deadline so it ain't over yet.

We've still got a few weeks guys - keep your heads up!

Anybody else get the following email?

Mine was a little different - I received the following a couple of minutes ago:

If you have interviewed with us in recent months, thank you for taking the time to speak with a member of our community about your candidacy. This conversation was a valuable addition to your application, and we hope it was also a great opportunity for you to learn more about the school.

this is what i got and i am 100% sure its a ding.i am only anxious about duke final decisions next week as that would either mean i go to bschool or i don't . i would pay anything to get a A next to HBS rather than a WL.

Ritin, did you interview at Yale??

no. only at HBS and Fuqua so far and thats all i am expecting . i don't even want to go to stern. so i don't have many options left. its either fuqua or nothing unless the good gods smile at me and admits from HBS decide to go to stanford instead and i get in.

no chance. position yourself better first and apply to a mix of schools in top 5 and then from 5-10 also. look at fuqua and tuck for next yr EA round and do more research on them. i don't know what yr gmat score is so i can't comment on that. Having been through the process now i can assure you it would have been much better to apply in round 1 or EA than 2. applying to round 3 requires a strong enough reason. You can't just let them think that you got denied at H/S/W and hence you are opting for yale now.with international applicants its also way tougher coz again yale doesn't have a fixed date and with the visa stuff its not worth it.
I personally recommend look at your applications again. do some thinking and research each school better and find a concrete reason to apply and apply early. You will also have a leg up since you have already gone through this.

I also received the foll email: As we approach the Round 2 decision release in early April, we wanted to give you an update on your application to the Yale School of Management.

Does it mean a ding for sure? Any insights from Round 1 candidates?
