  1. Wait listed AGAIN at Yale. Damn!

    hi eschaten!My friend(she is in yale) told me someone got waiting list first year. Sheila wrote to him/her and encouraged to reapply. And then they rejected him/her in the second year......So do not be discouraged, you still have a chance because at least you are still on the list!

  2. Thank you! But like I said - I don't think I made it. I am finishing my undergrad this year - and it's very rare that they accept students so fresh out of school. Maybe if my interview would have been fabulous I would think I had a chance - but it didn't and I was nervous and I suspect they thought I was weird... As for your interview - I don't think the fact that it was on skype had an effect on it - you should stay optimistic! Maybe if we're really lucky we'll see each other next year at Yale :-) and if not - perhaps in SVA [which is also considered being lucky]. I'll let you know if I go there! Good luck to us!

    Thank you Song! Figure-crossed for us!

  3. Hi! Yes, I know... I've been touring the States in the past two weeks! This kept me very busy :-) The interview at Yale was challenging. Very interesting, but hard. In all the other schools I wasn't required to bring tangible work, and the interview was a nice chat [with calarts - an HOUR long chat haha]. At Yale though, it was a big presentation with no less than 6 critics, that lasted 45 min. They were friendly, but kept interrupting [also each other], jumping from project to project, asking difficult [but intelligent] questions and criticizing. I could tell they all read my statement with attention - and all had things to say. This was nice to know - since they are all very talented and busy people. So it was an honor! After that I had another interview with two students - that was very nice and interesting.

    I don't think they will accept me - I was a bit nervous, and felt that I'd have spoken better in Hebrew. Also, I feel like I left an impression of a not-mature enough or not experienced enough person. They also didn't really compliment any of my work - besides my writing skills... Maybe they didn't like it. So I really don't think I made it, but it sure was an experience!!

    oh! I am sure you made it ! It seems your interview goes very well. I also applied yale(3year) and had a skype interview. They didn't ask me many questions about my work...maybe not interesting enough...;( And the total time is 50min(plus with students...really short...). I guess I screwed it up because I was so nervous... Feel bad now...

    I am considering to go to SVA, if you go there, let me know. ;-) (But I guess you will go to yale!)
