This guy is not a typical graduate student. He is on a Yale management program. So suit can't act in negative to him rather it will pose him as a young executive. There are are casual fitting suit. Wear it with no ties

Greetings to all here that have been doing a great job so far. I am new on this thread and have read some of the transcripts here to get a sense of what to expect during the interview. Congrats to all who have gotten their visas so far.

My interview is on Wednesday, i got admitted to do a masters in advanced management at the Yale School of Management, i have some scholarship and a loan from an international loan provider (recommended by the school) covering the remaining fees and expenses. I was refused a students visa in 2005 when i wanted to go and do my undergraduate studies (something about not having supporting documents even though the CO never asked me for them). I just finished my MBA from LBS and so i am not working yet.

Please what are my chances looking like from all the collective experience here and are their areas from my profile above that i should be conscious of working on. Also as a student what sort of things do i need to show ties back home.

Thanks for your help.

In your case, You dont need all that for Yale , to get admission is not beans so the VO knows you have crossed all those T and I........If your test score is mentioned just say exactly what you typed now .

what you need to do is sell yourself well . Talk briefly about you work experience, your transition to do an MBA and how you want to strengthen that MBA with this masters. . .......See below a powerful statement i saw on their website . Common that all you need . Take that statement and make it into one powerful sentence and make it your own so you dont sound like a textboook . That all the selling point you need

Master of Advanced Management
Join a group of emerging leaders from all corners of the globe for intensive study, exchange, and professional development..

when you start the school, make sure you attend the next National Black MBA conference and go get yourself a good internship. MUST attend oo

Yale is a very good school , however it is good if you have work experience and a solid plan regarding your future plan and path and you need to demonstrate that in the interview .

2005 rejection would not be a problem but You need to be able to sell yourself well, sell your journey and what the future holds for you if given . You definitely would be asked what have you been doing since and you need something substantial . Why that school is an easy answer if you prepare well because the name of the school sells itself
