A little late to this party, but accepted also! Timestamp 12:41 yesterday. Looking forward to seeing everyone at revisit!
Waitlist letter came today, no mention of a tier. It says 30% of the class comes from the waitlist, but I'm not sure how many are on the list. I do know someone who received a post-interview rejection today, so it doesn't include all interviewees. At any rate, I'll be withdrawing in favor of other schools/personal factors. Congratulations to those accepted and good luck to my fellow waitlisters!
Received post-interview rejection in the mail today. Congrats to the rest of you! 🙂
Does the letter say if there is a process to accept your place on the waiting list, like via website, and if so is this time sensitive? I ask because I anticipate being a waitlister, not rejected, but I won't be home to check my mail for several days and don't want to miss any deadlines.
I think the form says within 10 days.The letter came with a form that has to be mailed back to the admissions office. It doesn't list a deadline, the letter just says "To hold your place on the Waiting List, please return the enclosed form immediately." I'm sure they'll hold your place as long as they hear from you within two weeks or so. If you're worried, you could call them once you get the letter to say that you want to be on the WL, you just had to wait to check your mail.

Rejected post-interview....came one week after Harvard post-interview rejection (auch) ....this was one of my best interviews south of the border (i am canadian) and I was devastated.
However, in retrospect I think that they don't think my interest and passion for family/immigrant medicine aligns with what yale has to offer, and that was probably the reason.
I guess I just wanted to come on to this thread to have a sense of closure. I am going to assume that all of us (accepted, waitlisted, or rejected ) here have at least one acceptance at hand. I am sure that our paths will cross, no matter where we end up, sometimes in the future.
See you all in the next four years and during residency interviews. Congrats to all of you who were accepted at Yale University School of Medicine!
Is the waitlist not tiered this year? There's no mention of it in the letter. -_- #
Tiers will only be decided after May 15th, according to last year's thread.
Good luck wherever you're going (seems like you're going back north?).
As for me, I guess I'll have to patiently wait through to weekend to know my decision. Work faster Canada Post!
edit: oh well, I'm rejected too.

Hey all, I'm a current M2, if you have any questions about Yale, ask away and I will try to answer them 🙂
Awesome, thanks! I'm really excited about Yale. Here are a few questions of mine:
1. I only found a general outline of the class schedule regarding step 1 exams. What month do M2 classes end? How many weeks off do you get for studying/step1/vacation?
2. How early do YSM students typically seek out research mentors for their thesis project? How easy is the commute to the new West Campus if your lab is over there?
3. How late are you on campus, usually? Does the majority of the class live in East Rock? Do you know of any classmates who commute from west of Bridgeport?
4. What's the most common way that your M2 class socializes? (e.g., organized activities, study groups, pub crawls, etc.)
5. Regarding pizza: Pepe's, Sally's, or other? 🙂
Question for a current student:
Is it true that YSM will allow students to take courses in any department on the Yale campus and complete additional degrees at no expense? Who would I talk to in order to confirm or deny this at revisit? Program flexibility and being able to explore are big decision pieces for me. Thanks.
Thanks for the tips/advice.
Did you live in Harkness? If so, what was your experience there? Is it similar to the average undergraduate dorm?
I'm thinking about living in a nearby apt and am weighing the pros of not living in a dorm against the social aspect of living in one (especially first year).
What do most people do for food in Harkness? Is it a meal plan or are there kitchens?
(Yale undergrad who lived in Harkness over a summer)
Fellow foodies willing to walk 5-10 minutes: make sure you check out La Cosinita (Cocinita, but I think they spell with an S). We're talking serious, huge $5 burritos and $2.50 tacos that are loaded to the brim and are among the best, most authentic Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico (and I'm from LA). 2 tacos will fill you up; 3 will kill you. There's also pizza everywhere. Ethiopian. Indian. One of the best burger pubs ever, ever. Surprisingly good Chinese food. An AYCE sushi place. About 562 Thai restaurants. And a cheese truck.
tl;dr You won't starve. Welcome to the Haven.
How do students generally get over to the Haven Free Clinic? I'm looking at some housing options over there and wondering what the public tranist situation looks like.
Also, I know the neighborhood is technically a bit "sketchy" but I grew up poor and have lived everywhere in the world so I think I'll be alright with most anything the Haven can throw. At least its not Baltimore!
YES. This is exactly what I wanted to hear. 😀
Hey all, 1st year student here. Congrats to everyone who was admitted. I owe a lot to SDN so here's some insider information - there were 232 accepted students based upon the phon-a-thon we just did.
