Description / location of visit and/or interview atmosphere: 9:45 am Interview seem to be the right time as the interviewer had the chance to warm up from the first interview at 9:00am. There are about 50 other prospective students interviewing during the same day, interview run every 45 mins. From 9:00 am to 3:30pm. Each interview takes place in “interview rooms”, on the first floor, and each section has about 10 students interviewing at the same time, each one-on-one with a second year-year student.
Type of interview: The interviewer was a second year student that mentioned early in the interview that she only had access to my resume and so that I should not feel offended if she asks questions on subjects that I have already mentioned somewhere else in my application. The interviewer has a list of questions with open boxes to write comments as I was answering her questions, there were a total of +/-10Q.
Interview Questions
- What are you doing in your current position?
- Why and MBA? Why now?
- How can you contribute to Yale SOM?
- Tell me about one of your biggest contribution?
- Tell me about one event when you failed? What did you learn from it?
- What clubs are you interested in joining while at SOM?
- Do you have any questions for me (5 min remaining)
I was very comfortable during the interview, I have yet to receive any decision, being a wait listed application I did not see any variance during the interview process as any other Round applicant. I wish there was an admissions person during the interview.
