Chicago: feel good in interview and application, but got DING, even without WL!!
Yale: feel hopeless in interview and application, but got IN.
Who can tell me why? Really sad when reading the denial letter.

Yale和Chicago的商学院风格还是很不一样的。LZ申Chicago是因为奔finance去的吗？如果是，那Yale还是会相对弱一些。不过Yale在国内应该会蛮有帮助。

Is Chicago your dream school?
No matter how many in you got, in the end of the day, you can only enroll in one of them.

Actually, I like Yale. Big name in the world, strong alumni network, and history.
Honestly, I hoped to get both. But the fact was not. Anyway, I am happy I still get one.
Just share my interview experince:

1. go through resume
2. what to do for fun during high school
3. why your undergrad school and major
4. specific undergrad experience
5. why first job
6. why MBA, why Yale
7. career goal
8. 2 specific questions on resume
9. Q&A

20 minutes with Adcom. Except the last one, my answers lasted no longer than 1.5 mins.
27 hours after the interview, the offer came. Very efficient. I like that style, straightforward and efficient.

good luck to Yale applicants.

Thanks for all you guys' encouragement. I did take this situation into consideration, but, when it comes, it still comes with hurts and questions.

Anyway, moving on. Good luck to all CDers.
