Congrats everyone on their acceptance!
But don't lose hope...Yale definitely uses their waitlist and it's far far from a death sentence as with some other schools.
Hoepfully I was waitlisted. I didn't receive an email

Mine was an MD-only acceptance, received 10:06 AM
Hi folks,
I called the admissions office today to figure out what was going on. As luck would have it, Dean Silverman picked up and we talked for about 12 minutes about how they are doing decisions.
This is what's happening:
1) All people immediately admitted have been notified via email today.
2) Everyone - Admits, waitlisted, rejected - will also receive a snail-mail this week.
3) For the waitlisted, we will also receive a new letter in short time telling us our tier on the waitlist. This letter is independent of the letter we receive this week, and will be sent out I think within a few weeks.
4) Yale has significant waitlist movement because it's difficult to form a class of 100 students right from the start. So don't give up hope.
Hope this provides some clarity to this gut-wrenching process.
Cheers.

I'm west coast, PST.
I thought this was by far my best interview and no letter. It's impossible to predict these things.

I was accepted at a school back in the fall where my interview was the worst, and no email today from Yale and I thought this interview was at or near the best. Murphy's law....
Murphys law would be if you got rejected from everywhere! You are still in good shape having acceptances

Well, to give comfort to anyone who had a bad interview at Yale, my experience involved the doctor talking at length about research on women suffering depression following gynecological surgery, me accidentally zoning out and saying "postpartum depression" after the long discussion, and him irritably saying, "Nooooo...they got their uterus taken out, they had hysterectomies." (And him thinking to himself, "What a dumb little turd.") It was a short interview with no recovery.
accepted yesterday! is there a facebook group?
can any current Yale students comment on living outside of New Haven (not very far outside)? My girlfriend lives in NYC and will be there for the next three years. We are thinking about trying to live in CT a bit south of New Haven so she can commute into the city (she only needs to be there for work ~3 days/wk). I would just drive up to New Haven every day. Does that sound straight up idiotic? Any insights would be great.
Just got the wait list letter in NYC today. Disappointed about not getting an outright acceptance, but after yesterday's uncertainty, I'm just glad it's not a rejection.
Congrats to all those who got in yesterday, and good luck to everyone whose process just got a few months longer...
Withdrew my application yesterday and was notified by email that I had been waitlisted.
Thus, if anyone cant wait to learn their status just withdraw!
Gotham, thanks for letting us know...did the waitlist letter have a form or any information about staying on the waitlist?
Has anyone not received any letter/e-mail? Am I to expect a delay because my address is international?
Maybe my rejection letter got lost crossing the border.
I'm in Virginia and haven't received any snail mail yet...it's making it's slow crawl from New Haven, that's for sure.
And Gotham - thank you for your response.

Damn, there is no one at my permanent address to check the mail; it's not my "effective" address until May 1.I received my acceptance letter in the mail today at my permanent address. First correspondance I have received there (instead of my preferred address) from any med school. Just FYI, your letters may be headed to permanent addresses.
Could I get the link to the fb group guys? I can't find it and want to meet the other admits
Heading to second look with my significant other. Any insights from current students as to where a good spot to stay is? We won't have a car, so close is best I suppose. Thanks

Thank you, but that's an email address...
