Waitlisted at Yale SOM

Round: Round 1

Received via portal December 5, 2023

GPA: 3.8

GRE: 312

Program Type: Traditional Two-Year

Application Location: West Coast

Note:

Waitlisted after flying to New Haven to interview. Honestly, really disappointed in myself because of how much I prepared for the application and interview (Yale was my top choice). Felt really fortunate to get an interview with my test score, so I shouldn't have been too surprised at the result.
Coming from an impact investing / social enterprise background.

grichmond Verified User. Likes Earned: 1311 I agree with Alex; sounds like one key step to take as you aim to work your way off of the waitlist would be to retake the GRE and pull within Yale’s range.

Their average is very high (330 if memory serves), so you need to really push yourself to get beyond the 320 mark if possible.

Best of luck!
