以下是引用pa212002在2006-10-6 0:41:00的发言：Just an update: I went to the D.C. Yale admission reception last night and learned some news regarding the 2009 class: SOM is admitting only 150 students this year due to 45 admitted students last year accepted offer to defer their admisson to 2007. The class size of 2009 will still maintain 190 to 200 in this way but it is a big challenge for us 2007 applicants :_(( The Assistant Director of Admission was there last night and there were 50-60 potential applicants all cramped in a tiny restaurant room. The introduction lasted for 15 minutes and Q&A lasted for almost 90 minutes. One thing I noticed tons of applicants from the D.C. area have the experience in NPOs and/or government work. Apparently everyone heard that Yale is particularly interested in applicants with NPO/Gov background and their admisson officer told me each year about 20% students they admit are with that background, which is about 40 students. But that competition now fierces up becuase more applicants with similar background in NPO/Gov. The assistant director strongly urged all applicants should apply in the 1st or 2nd round. He said SOM only admitted six applicants in the third round last year. Thank you for your information. I learned the same just a few days ago. Yes, around 40 or 50 SOM admits come from NPOs and most of them still want to follow their interest in NPO after MBA. Another strength here at SOM is finance. SOM is one of the major business schools that is actively involved in behavior finance research. I'd like to share with you some other good news. I cited some paragraphs from Dean's email: In fact, we are already succeeding. Yale SOM has received a great deal of positive attention in the press. Alumni of SOM and the greater university, senior executives, and recruiters with whom I’ve spoken recently have all expressed enthusiasm for what we are doing here. As I mentioned to the 2nd years when we met in OML earlier this year, we raised $32.9 million, surpassing the previous year’s giving level by 286%.
And now, in early October, I am delighted to tell you that we have already broken last year’s record, having raised over $67 million dollars to date. In total, SOM has recorded in excess of $110 million in campaign gifts and new commitments, or 37% of the School’s $300 million overall fundraising goal for the Yale Tomorrow capital campaign. Included in this total are $26 million for our new campus, 6 new endowed professorships, $10 million to support faculty research, $2.5 million to support our curriculum reform initiatives, and $38 million to be designated. This spectacular fundraising success means that we are ever closer to designing and building our new campus, expanding our faculty ranks, and providing more support to all of our programs and activities. Following a national search, I am pleased to announce that Allyson Moore, currently Director of Full-time MBA Career Services at NYU’s Stern School of Business, will become Director of the Yale SOM Career Development Office, effective November 13. Allyson is a graduate of Antioch
College with an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia. In addition to her MBA career services role, she also has held positions on the recruiting side, having been a University Relations Manager at both Unilever and Warner-Lambert. Those of you who have met Allyson know that she will bring years of relevant experience, plus enthusiasm, creativity, and a results-oriented focus to her work at SOM. We are looking forward to welcoming her to Yale.
