Note:

I wasn't anticipating too much on Yale SOM, as I received an interview invitation late. Rumors say the later you get the interview invite, the less likely you are to get admitted—but that proved to be wrong. I will be going to another school, so for all those waitlisted, keep your hopes alive! I had the best interview experience with Yale SOM, implying that the community there would be great. Congratulations to all who have been admitted!
