Thanks RunMimi, it seems late to me too.
Based on your response to this question, and your posts in earlier threads, I think that we are applying to many of the same schools.
How is this going to be of any use? You'll have to get an interview first. Besides, the structure could change next year. More than that, you can read interview feedback reports and old threads. This is thread-hijacking.
I interviewed at Yale this past Friday. They will notify on 3.22.05 (from the Dean's mouth). They are interviewing until early (first week or so) March. they will interview 800 people for approximately 200 acceptances to fill 100 slots. Unfortunately, i had a HORRIBLE interview experience - which is annoying considering they WERE my first choice (not to mention my Alma Mater)...but the Yale system is pretty cool...and a lot of other interviewees didn't have wonderful interviewers either (the interviewers didn't seem to into the whole process).
Oh well - considering I'm drinking/smoking away my frustrations this weekend, i guess all is still good!
Here's to hoping people receive some favorable news from yale soon! boola, boola!
