excited!
Got a Yale interview invite today! This is my 4th one and I am psyched.
submitted 9/25 complete 10/8
Good luck everyone!
(and don't stress too much)
 
what were your stats?

have they rejected anyone yet?
 
How long did it take you guys to be complete? I submitted the secondary on October 3 and am waiting to be complete.
 
Yale is completely nonrolling. So you won't hear any final decisions until mid march sometime. Patience and Faith!!! That's my motto
 
I emailed three prospective student hosts 8 days ago, but have yet to hear from any of them. Any words of advice?

You emailed hosts directly? I emailed the student hosting coordinator and was matched to a host over a week in advance of my interview date.

I emailed people directly too and got a host. Simply email more people and eventually someone will respond. If they don't, you can always just contact the admissions office. They are usualy quite willing to ask studentds on your behalf

A lot of people are really swamped with prospectives...so just keep trying. If not, I know the person in charge and he'll usually set you up with someone.
 
Does Yale send everyone a secondary invite?

Thanks!
 
Had an awesome day interviewing at yale. Quite a unique school indeed! Might be awesome for some, while some might not like it at all. I happen to be among the former 😉

PS: New haven is definitely as bad as people say it is.


Good luck to those with upcoming interviews there.
 
I was complete 7/29 and have not heard ANYTHING from Yale. Is this a silent rejection? Anyone else in the same boat?
 
No word since July, but considering the school's non-rolling nature I'm not concerned...yet.

Weird cos I was complete on 10/5 and heard from them about 1.5 weeks later about an interview. However, since its non-rolling, this means absolutely nothing so chinup guys. 🙂

Don't worry too much about it. The way Yale reads their apps isn't in any sequential order.

I hope I hear soon =/ my winter quarter is crazy busy..I don't want too many interviews in Jan/Feb. all the courses I need to graduate were offered in winter so I'll be busy...sigh

And it sucks more not to hear anything from them haha. I'd like some comforting "we haven't looked at your app yet, don't worry" that would be awesome. =)
 
Wow, epic silence on this thread. Has anyone heard anything from Yale lately??

nada. tried sending them some updates in hopes of getting interview invite and all I got was a "be patient and don't update us" message...

Wow kinda harsh. Stay strong I'm sure they're very busy over there.
 
It's a little bit comforting that Yale has been pretty silent lately. Yale is THAT school for me...aka the first choice dream school. I'd love to interview there and see if it lives up to my expectations.

I really thought I had a sure fire interview here seeing as how my dad works as a physician at the Yale-New Haven Hospital.

37 mcat, 3.9 gpa, complete on 10/06 but no interview yet. What more could they want? lol
 
Just got an invite!!!!!

Haven't heard from any school in months, and definitely wasn't expecting an email on a Saturday evening, but I'll take it!

Stats: slightly <3.5, 36R (12, 12, 12) and I'm one year out.

Good luck to you all!

Actually I was complete on October 5. It shows the date on the application status page. People above say that Yale doesn't review applications in the order they're received though, so take it with a grain of salt.
 
Complete 11/05....Interview Invite 11/30....Interview Date 1/14
 
Does Yale accept pre-interview update letters?
 
Complete: October 5
Interview Invite: December 4

Stats: 3.97, 36R, International

Looks like December 4 was a happy day for some of us! 😀

Wooaaah! Same complete date, same invite date - we're interview twins!

International = Canada?

*High five* Scheduled for Jan 31 (the last date they offered).

Yep, Canadian. Our interview cycle starts quite a bit later and all schools are non-rolling. Totally psyched to get an invite from Yale! I hope there isn't an insane snowstorm (like outside my window right now) when I have to fly out of Montreal for my interview.

I'm set for the 28th. I like Friday interviews.

Good luck!

I picked afternoon. I'm not too used to getting up before 7am for very, very important things.
 
Hi Everyone.

I was just wondering if I should be having concerns regarding the status of my application, or if I should be taking any proactive measures.

I was marked completed on September 20, but have yet to hear a thing. I am a Canadian university student, and our application process is significantly different than the American system, so any help that you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Take care

From previous posts in this thread, it seems like Yale doesn't review their applications in the order they're complete. If you have anything that warrants an update/interest letter maybe you could send one.

Actually, from previous posts in this thread, Yale specifically requests NOT to have "pre-interview" updates sent. A couple of people have sent them and they have gotten that response. Rude? I agree.

Yea, so I'm not the one to come to for advice 😀
 
They're going to hate me since I sent an update 😛

I'm sort of expecting a rejection at this point since I haven't heard anything and everyone on here has way stellar stats (I'm a 34S, 4.0, oos) so I wanted to try all guns firing. Love this school, so happy for you guys that have interviews!!!

Best of luck:luck:

I know students who got interview invites in january of last year and were accepted march 15th. Hang in there. Your stats are not a problem.

Yea definitely not a problem. I consider 4.0 to be pretty stellar.
