2019-2020 Yale

Fo the people who have interviewed here already, how was the one on one meeting with the Director of Admissions?

"The application day will begin with an orientation meeting with the Director of Admissions. Throughout the rest of the day there will be two formal interviews with members of the Admissions Committee as well as a brief presentation by a Financial Aid officer. "

The meeting with the DoA is as a group. Directors of admissions are generally administrators and aren't involved in actual admissions decisions, which is done by the dean of admissions and their committee.

Uber from airport to Hartford Union Station. Take train ($9 one-way) to New Haven. Hartford Line | Schedule
Or rent a car, it's about 45 min drive from Hartford to New Haven.

I filled out the student request form ~month ago and interview next week but haven't heard back. When did others hear by?

 

[ssp3]

Can anyone speak about their experience in the Yale pre-interview informal dinner? How informal is it (dress code, conversation, etc.)?

Very informal. I wore a t-shirt and it was totally fine.

 

[deleted987519]

Has anyone recently received an II from Yale?

Unbelievably I have not! /s

 

[383517]

I think they meant to send me one but forgot somehow

 

[Engrailed]

Are they up to January now in interview dates?
Someone please inform!

Got an II here earlier in the month and the only available dates were in January.

 

[wikidoctor]

I got one Oct 24. Only dates are Jan now

Canadian applicant here. Submitted my primary on Oct 15th (Only applying to 1 or 2 US schools this year).

Not sure if anyone here applied this late to receive this email haha. On Oct 24, I received a email reminder regarding the Nov 15th deadline for the secondaries. They mentioned they are now interviewing applicants throughout early February. So I'm assuming January interview spots are filled?

 

[Cherry1997]

First (half) R, just got email that the MD/PhD committee couldn’t offer me an interview and my app was transferred to MD only evaluation 🙁 submitted app mid October

 

[soccer90876]

Does anyone know what the post-II acceptance rate here is?

 

[deleted994247]

Does anyone know what the post-II acceptance rate here is?

somewhere between 30 and 40, I think it was 38? But honestly I wouldn't think too much about the acceptance rates, those include people accepted off the waitlist, and knowing these numbers doesn't really affect the outcome anyway.

 

[soccer90876]

@Punky Brewster : thanks for letting me know!

 

[Cigar]

Folks it is starting to get cold and wet in New England this time of year so don't forget to come prepared for weather at your interviews these next few months. As a bonus on rainy interview days, admissions will give you disposable Yale rain jackets lol.

 

[Medsthetic]

are II/pre-II rejections sent out over email? also, do i have a glimmer of hope if i havent gotten a pre-II R yet, or meh? havent kept up with yale since i sent out secondaries in july

I think Yale is one of the schools that doesn't send out R's until the end of the cycle. I also sent out secondaries in July, we gotta just keep hanging in there!

oh **** this is going to be me I completed even later

 

[JasonG12]

Anyone know when they stop sending out IIs?

 

[Crassus]

Is Yale receptive to post-II LOIs?

 

[relm]

Hey y’all! Interviewing here in a couple of days. Any advice from current students or people who have already interviewed here ?

Hey congrats on the interview! Would you mind sharing your complete date?

 

[tikihut]

For those that went to the pre-interview dinner with medical students, what was it like? I think I remember RSVPing several weeks ago when I got the interview invite, but there has been no further emails/info on the dinner since then, and my interview is this week.

Extremely extremely casual! You can talk as much or as little as you want about diversity in Yale. It was a very small group when I went!

 

[dreamitmakeithappen]

this thread is so quiet, can we expect any waves of IIs at the point?

Looking at last year’s they stopped sending out invites by this point. Last year’s thread was also very quiet.

 

[hydrophobicmed]

RIP my Yale dreams November 21 2019. Not even a LM 84 could save me haha.

the name of the game: you win some and lose some.

Title of my memoir

 

[hydrophobicmed]

Absolutely. I’d be ecstatic to attend either of the schools I interviewed at. It’s just scary because statistically 2II is no guarantee of an acceptance

statistically no amount of II's can guarantee an acceptance. But you do get to the point where if you have 6+ II's the chance of getting dinged all of the places is about the chance of winning a small lottery. You got Columbia right?

title of your memoir, win more than lose lol.

 

[futuredoctorjanedoe]

I know SDN is a small pool but in last years thread the last day someone posted an II was on december 10th - it may not be too late, keep your hopes up!

the thing is that Yale schedules really far ahead. II in mid sept, scheduled early dec. The interview season ends on Feb. 14 according to the meal order form in which you get to see all the available dates. So it's about right that now II's should be over.

 

[Cherry1997]

II!!!!! Still two dates left in January (didn’t look at the February dates but assuming those are open too). Super excited after getting transferred to MD only consideration and thought I was for sure going to receive an R

November 4th, so it took about 3 weeks after being moved! Good luck!

 

[John1212]

When will Yale send out their decisions (A/W/R)?

 

[caffeinatedMD8]

When will Yale send out their decisions (A/W/R)?

I believe Yale is non-rolling, so sometime in March

 

[xkcd6330]

When will Yale send out their decisions (A/W/R)?

I believe everyone hears back on March 15

 

[strappysandals]

I believe everyone hears back on March 15

Lmao just about 6 months since i interviewed

 

[positivepuffin]

are we supposed to receive a confirmation email about the pre-interview dinner?

 

[mass-premed66]

Are January interviews already filled up? What days of the week does Yale interview?

Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s. Not sure about dates again, sorry!

Just got an II yesterday, only date available was late January! I think they go through February.

Congrats!

Though it doesn't seem like much hope for the rest of us.

You never know! There should be more dates, plus people will start cancelling as more decisions come out in Jan/Feb.
