I'm a threepeat, and the first year I got feedback that said, (it's always an e-mail), "We actually don't have anything to suggest to you - there was nothing that stood out on your app that would necessarily disqualify you. Keep in mind this does not factor in things like your recommendations or interview." I took this to mean - you were close, but not sterling enough. Maybe your recommenders weren't quite glowing. Maybe you bombed your interview. You'll know it when you look back.

The second time around I got very specific feedback on needing to beef up my quant background and needing a deeper level of responsibility in my WE. This was largely a result of me having reapplied less than 6 months after I got rejected the first time around. Didn't do enough to demonstrate growth.

This time around, I waited a year, got a new job, took 2 classes, more ECs, and wrote my entire reapplicant essay about taking their feedback to heart.

Wow! Congratulations, it sounds like you earned it.

This is my second time through the application process, and like you, I'm actually kind of glad I didn't get admitted the first time around. I simply wasn't ready for it. Four accounting courses, an internship, and a year's worth of thought later, I have a much better grip on what I want to get out of it (and how the process works).

Last year, Yale started releasing several R2 acceptances 1 week and 2 days prior to the decision date. Do you all think that we will start to see acceptances coming in starting on the 13th?

So close to the decision date. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

I interviewed early in the R2 cycle and am anxiously awaiting decisions on/around the 22nd. However, since submitting my app I have relocated and changed phone numbers, and the number SOM has for me no longer works. Should I submit an update to them about my phone number to avoid anxiety on decision day, or is that presumptuous? Just theoretically, if I let it be and am admitted but they can't call me, would I have to wait a long time to get the notification by email?

If I am not wrong, you usually get the notification email that day itself.

I would just write to the admissions office and tell them that you are writing to update your contact information since you have moved. I think they will actually appreciate knowing your new information if you get admitted. The Yale Admission people seem to be very understanding and friendly and I don't think they will think you are being presumptuous.

Again this is my opinion, you should do you will be most comfortable with.

No, probably not. They just sent out an email saying that they're getting ready to review the waitlist candidates and that we need to have all additional materials in by Friday 3/16.

The Army green lighted my packet to attend Grad School at Yale SOM today. Good thing, considering I had already dropped the deposit. Good luck to everybody else out there waiting, especially the military applicants. See you in August.

Can't say for sure - maybe May? R1 had to submit our deposits back in February.

I can't understand how it isn't already at elite status. Even without Dean Snyder - the job placement, quality of professors, incredibly innovative curriculum, visiting industry practitioners, etc, is nothing short of amazing. After the new building goes in, I see no reason why Yale shouldn't be significantly higher on all people's minds, let alone the rankings.
