Are you sure? 101 out of 100 Chinese college students have heard of Yale. Try Emory on them, see how much they know about it.

Will be little surprised if someone will actually choose Emory over Yale, given that neither schools provide a nice scholarship.

For your reference. You can take a look at the 88th and the 90th post.

Thanks, outanddown's points are also what i am concerned.

other concerns of Yale (data collected from http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/05/full_time_profiles/yale.htm)

1.the average Gmat score is falling in last three years from 703 to 696 to 683

In 2003, the average is 703, the same as some top 10 schools and better than most 15-25 schools.

In 2004, 696, still ok but began to fall.

In 2005, 683, no more than other 15-25 schools.

In the same time, Emory increased from 676 to 680 to 681.

2.Also is the Yield rate.

In 2003,62%,2004,42%,2005,37%. dramatic fall.

In the same time, Emory increased from 28% to 37% to 39%.

3.Though we say Gmat is not very important in the application process, we see the top 3 schools has the average as 710 or more, the top 10 has 700 or more and the second tier has 680 or less.

Also, the second tier has a yield less than 40%.

I had the interview of Yale and still wait for the final decision. I think Yale do has some advantages than other 15-25 schools, such as its reputation and location. While at least in the past 3 years, Yale has been on the way downward and can't recruit enough qualified applicants.

我认识一个Wharton毕业的MBA，似乎他们对yale的评价并不高。虽然目前Yale的排名比emory高，但是从发展潜力看我觉得emory更有优势。我觉得不能光看眼前，要有发展的眼光。没准若干年后，Emory的名气就会超过Yale呢。

The information about Yale you provide is correct. But if you take a look at the profiles of other top10-15 schools such as darden, cornell, you will find that they also have similar gmat and yield rates as yale, but this does not prevent these three schools from attracting big name recruiters and from being top15.

Students admitted to these three schools may also be admitted by top10, resulting in the low yield rate. fyi, the four chinese students (directly from mainland) in yale's 2006 class got very good internship last year. atkerney, jpmorgan, GS, and the leadership program of a renowned corporate.

ps: I do not attend either school but have friends there. (I got dinged by yale after the interview but got full scholarship from emory)

Which one do you prefer, 刚果商学院，柬埔寨管理学院，和Yale管理学院？

感觉这三个学校也差不多, 又都比较侧重general management。但好像Yale在国内的知名度高一些。不知大家对这三个学校怎么看？三选一又会倾向于哪一个呢？

被Yale录取的同学也来说说吧

zdcgy, thanks for your information and congratulations for your success on Emory.

Your information is correct that Darden, Cornell and Yale really have some similarities on Gmat and yield rates. I must apologize that I mainly compared data of Yale with those of Wharton, Chicago and so on.  And my conclusion that "the second tier has a yield less than 40%" is subjective.

Still, my concern is that the Gmat and Yield Rates of Yale in last three years indicate that it is maybe on the way downward. It's dramatic decrease for gmat, from 703 to 683, and for yield, from 62% to 37%.

Since I have applied for Yale and other schools and wait for their final decisions, I hope to know and talk about more of them, not only the shining aspects but also the weaknesses which may be the hidden danger for our investment of time, efforts and money.

Maybe Yale begins to weigh qualifications other than GMAT much more after the program has established its position in the top 15 by recruting people with higher GMAT? Could this be an explaination?
