I'm still undecided about whether to apply to Yale. Hoping to visit over the summer.

yeah? I have heard really good stuff about the program. Especially from my background Yale is no-brainer. Do let us know about the visit!

Regarding the above -- I fell in love with SOM during my visit. Very integrated into the university, gorgeous building and campus, innovative curriculum, smart students, and -- above all -- everyone was just so nice! was not expecting this last part, but every interaction I had was just wonderul, from my interviewer, to the front desk receptionist, to the students I spoke with in passing. Hopefully a visit will clarify things for you, Aaliyah537.

I will be reapplying (3rd round reject here). Retaking the GMAT in August--feeling much more confident. Trying to bust into environmental sustainability so Yale is a no-brainer for me.

Yeah the forestry school looks great! How many of you guys are reapplicants?

edgeook8 you seem to have been waitlisted. Are you still waiting to receive a decision or ?

Glad to see I am not the only one reapplying. What did you guys think were your past mistakes/reasons you did not get the congrats email?

souvik101990 -- Yes, I'm waitlisted in Round 3. I was told that it was due to lack of space and that nothing was lacking in my application after I asked SOM to evaluate my application (this is something they offer to WL applicants). Not that I'm a perfect candidate by any means, but I've learned that in the third round there is sometimes simply no space. I am cautiously optimistic about my chances in future rounds if this one doesn't work in my favor for this reason (emphasis on the "cautiously").

Good luck, all!

Yeah seems like round 3 is a hit or miss for most people. I just got out of the Yale Mumbai Reception. Anjani Jain was there himself and he was really funny. Got to learn a lot more about the integrated curriculum than what's just there on the website. There were at least a hundred people in the session - the Indian demography at its brutal best. All in all I had a good time. There was great food as well but I couldn't enjoy that much as I left for dinner.

I asked a question about career goals prompt in the app dataset and got a decent response. I'll post more about the experience later in the evening.
