求助!!! Wait listed by Yale

blemebriller · 发表于 2011-3-28 22:50:52

Yale suggested wait listed candidates to (1) retake GMAT, (2) clarify career goals and (3) submit a letter of interest. I am especially not sure if I should retake GMAT... Please give me some advices!!

My Background: GPA 3.6 / GMAT 700 (Q49 V37 AWA6.0); 1 yr big 4 audit + 3.5 yrs commercial banking from management trainee; processing CPA license; CFA L2 candidate this June.

Looking forward to hearing from lovely CDers

Maybe at least consider retaking GMAT. If possible, do all three.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

I plan to do (2) and (3)... but not sure if I should retake GMAT because I doubt whether I can do better..

By the way, for additional recommendations, should I seek more from work or from ECA? (or any other suggestions?)

Yale,so thoughtful! LZ 多用点心思吧。这学校很尊重applicants的。

For recommendations, seek for a balance. If you have obtained two from work, get the additional one from ECA. I only submitted two from work. I guess most applicants do. Not sure how much a letter from ECA would help in this case.

GMAT is a hard factor,don't be not confident, just get out weekends/after-work weekdays wholy out for one months, maybe two, have a shot. 750 is not hard, when you really devote..and now you don't need to think for essays. At least if you reapply next year, GMAT is still there. For other two, quite subjective, really depends on the school's preference and the current admit mix. Alternatively, suggest finding some Yale alumni to write recommendation letters (or simple supporting emails will do)

Thanks for your advice larry0056

For simple emails from alumni, how simple? And would the same go for current student?

Actually, the more complicated, the better. But at least the alumni/student recommender shall know you well, so as they are at a better position to convince the admission office. One convincing/complicated letter will overwhelme three simple letters
