To prospective Yale applicants

cheeyong

Yale SOM will begin to accept applications for MBA 2007 in mid August. The first-round deadline will be late October.

I would like to share with you the good news for Chinese applicants. The Laura Cha Scholarship and Kevin Y. Zhang Scholarship, both exclusively for mainland China students,  will welcome their second recipients next year. The Laura Cha Scholarship, awarde every other year, is a full-tuition scholarship set up by Shi Mei Lun, the former vice president of CSRC. The Kevin Y. Zhang Scholarship is a half-tuition one established by Kevin Y. Zhang, 1994 MBA graduate of Yale SOM. Kevin is currently the managing director of Goldman Sachs Hong Kong.

As for 2007 target size, I guess it will be around 180-200.  Yale has launched a new MBA core curriculum, and in order to free its faculty to develop new teaching materials, it has already cut 2006 admits to around 180-200. I think this practice will continue into next year. Well, it is a very small program. You decide whether you like it or not.

Last year, SOM's accpetance rate is 28%, but the yield is only 37%, a very disappointing figure. This year's yield has rebounded  to around 61%. Although no official data has been released about this year's acceptance rate, my calculation shows it should be around 16%~18%.  Evidently, the admission is highly selective.

For those who like to have a taste of the new curriculum, please go to the website http://mba.yale.edu/mba_admissions/curriculum/default.asp

Yale06年大陆学生的就业情况：Mckinsey上海一个，微软美国一个(MSN strategy manager)，JP Morgan香港一个，香港某investment management firm一个（此君在Goldman Sachs实习），CreditSwiss First Boston纽约一个（本身在美国的大陆申请者）。还有1－2个我不太清楚。如果上述信息有差错，我会及时更正。

Thanks very much! 请教LZ，申请Yale是第1轮较好呢，还是第二轮较好呢？每一轮大概录取几个大陆学生呢？

每一轮录取几个大陆学生没有统计数据。我觉得尽量争取第一轮申请。

LZ在耶鲁吧？耶鲁的排名不高，但亚太申请人非常热衷该校，造成录取率很低。
