They only gave me 3 days to pick from in a week so not a whole lot of flexibility but the interviews are suppose to only be 30 minutes each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krystalized Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 @Hkane same here only three days to chose from but multiple time slots that day. Maybe someone could cover call for you for those 2- 30 minute slots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all the cart before the horse though, Yale received my application Thursday and my payment Friday so I’m still hoping to be lucky enough to get an interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I have my fingers crossed for all y’all. Getting in before the priority deadline is a major accomplishment. It’s not easy to get everything together in those first precious weeks. It really shows how dedicated and passionate we are. I hope you are rewarded with an interview invite tomorrow morning! As far as the cart before the horse thing nothing wrong with good planning to set yourself up for a good outcome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of sales right now like Banana Republic, and a suit or nice blazer may be a good investment for future use. I have also heard that H&M has decent blazers as well 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be an investment, but it will be worth it. You would not want to stand out due to your attire - try to make that a non-issue so they can focus on what you have to bring to their program 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only insight I've personally gotten was from reading last year's forum, so things could have changed. However, they said the interviewers try to make it a relaxed environment. There was no info regrading questions though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels a little strange to dress up to sit in my bedroom, but I want them to know I'm serious. Target in my area has a work-wear section and that's where I got my outfit. The pants needed to be hemmed, which I tried to do myself. thankfully no one will be looking at my shoes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
