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'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.
