just got the phone call of admissions officer: congratulations, you are admitted by Yale SOM.
some infos about application: 27 years, 3.8 GPA first class uni in Beijing, Master in economics (part time), 4.5 years central government, 2,5 years (until fall)fortune 500, currently based in Europe, 730GMAT, fluent in 4 languages.
applied to HBS (interviewed, waiting), Yale (admission), Wharton (dinged after interview) and Oxford (admission)
HBS is clearly my priority. However, considering Yale's strong brand, even I will be "negatively" surprised on 18.Jan. I will still be happy about this outcome.
benefited a lot from this truely open chatroom. If I could give back some of my experience, both positive and negative, to applicants, I would like to do that.
