I am waitlisted for Yale SOM without interview. I am speculating my quant and anlytical might be an issue although my GMAT score is 680. Is it ok to mention taking CFA Level 1 course work. Although I have not applied for Dec exam yet, we have formed a study group in office for learining all subject. Also, what all should I bring forth to strengthen my candidacy, Yale's network and strong support for social entrepreneurship makes it my first choice. So I want to send a strong update. Also, is being waitlisted without interview a minus. Please suggest

Hi NK28 and thanks for your post.
The first thing I'd want to know is if there was any additional information in the letter you received. Did they specifically ask you for any additional information, or did they actively discourage it. Generally, Yale is open to additional information, and so I do think it would be a good idea to make contact, graciously accept the offer on the WL, and then determine a strategy for communication with the adcom.
Any relevant update to your profile would be worth sending on to the adcom.
Is the adcom currently not aware of your CFA coursework? If not, then I do think this would be relevant to include in an update.
Feel free to contact us at [email protected] for a more detailed assessment of your profile. You also may want to look at our WL guide online at our shop.https://www.clearadmit.com/ca-products/waitlist-guide/
Best,
Deena

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
