I'm sorry that you didn't get in this year, keep trying though! I heard an esteemed person tried four times. She used her experience to encourage others. Yale is definitely worth trying multiple times! It is a leading and competitive platform. As for my situation, I had work and out of college experiences. It was out of these experiences that I turned to fine art. I'm tad bit older than my fellow undergrads. So I thought this kind of experience would count into Yale's admission guideline. I guess there was little room for interpretation. btw two of my acquaintances got interviews. They were out of school for 1~2 years. I guess you are more right about Yale don't take people straight from undergrad and I should give my portfolio a critical break lol.

I’m fresh out of undergrad as well. I was expecting an interview at least; which shows that they are interested in my work. Then I was rejected ? I take this rejection as my work not strong enough; which is a problem. Yale is a top school after all. Many of my friends with similar experience also got rejected. I guess rejections are common when surviving in the art world——might as well get used to it and keep trying PS Congrats to those who got the interviews :)) God bless and good luck!
