Just thought I would get this one started... I will be applying to Yale SOM...

Thanks for starting the thread! I will be applying as well - I just need to BTGMAT!

Which round will you be applying in?

Round 1

I'll be applying Round 1.

I'll be applying in R1 or R2.

I plan to apply in R1.
Not yet 100% decided though.

I have a 670 (Q47 V35 AWA 5) in GMAT. I am an Indian female working as Electronics Design Engineer.
But I am looking for an MBA in Social Entreprenurship. I have related experience in the field for past 2 yrs outside work (3 by matriculation)
I am still researching if Yale is right fit and vice a versa.

I will add you to the R1 list for now. If you change your mind, let us know.

I plan to apply R1.
Just took my GMAT on Saturday... so glad that is done

I'm going to apply R1. I think I'm a long shot.... I've been working on the essays - they aren't that bad once you dig in. Pretty similar to other schools which is nice.
