How did you prepare for the interview?

Met with alums from my undergrad school who go to Yale now. The usual - online, reading current events articles.

What impressed you positively?

How happy everyone is. Director of Admissions Mr. Silverman is one of the most garrulous and friendliest people I have ever met.

What impressed you negatively?

New Haven's not the ideal town/city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

They have your entire file (thick 1.5-inch booklet) in front of them. Both my interviewers flipped through them occasionally/regularly for reference. Their admissions committee has fourth year students who have full voting power and also interview (one of my interviewers was a student). Both interviews were fairly conversational, and they try to make feel relaxed. The whole day (non-admissions-related faculty talk, student lunch, tour) provides a very comprehensive look at the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
