以下是引用cheeyong在2006-8-1 15:16:00的发言：说说我自己的感觉。我本人比较相信US NEWS的排名（我不想和别人争论哪个排名好的问题，我只说自己的看法），因为它最全面，考虑了GMAT GPA 录取率 院长评分 雇主评分 就业数据等多项指标，比较科学。BW的排名我觉得太主观，因为基本只以雇主和学生满意度，有时候会很偏。况且，大家公认的HBS和stanford这两个最好的BS，似乎从未在BW的排名上位居榜首，甚至前三名也很少进入，也从另一个侧面反应出BW排名的缺陷。我觉得US NEWS把YALE最近几年排在14－15左右，还是比较反应它的真正情况的。至于那些WSJ和FORBES的排名，以及financial times的排名，虽然把YALE排的很高，但我就不提了，因为我觉得那几个排名没什么参考价值。 商学院排名的提升是一个长久过程，YALE的新任院长很aggressive，相信在他的领导下，如果能够利用好校友资源，10年左右时间，排名应该会有一定的提升。当然这只是我自己的想法，我也不会瞎说什么3－5年内就会飞跃，这是误导啊，呵呵。一个商学院的品牌提升，逐渐被市场认可是一个过程，没有个10年是很难完成的。 吸引我本人和其他中国学生的，可能还是YALE这个大学的影响和氛围。世界范围内，我最喜欢的大学就是Yale和princeton两所。从我自己的感觉而言，亚太学生应该主要是这个动机吧（主观判断）。美国学生就未必了。我问过今年参加welcome weekend的人，遇到不少美国人即将来YALE SOM的，他们本科优秀（harvard或者princeton等都有，有的本科是学音乐的），有好几个将来立志做non profit，也许他们是冲着non profit来的。当然，我无法取得大样本量统计大多数入学同学的动机，这仅仅是我自己的想法。 关于今年的accpetance rate和Yield，官方数据尚未公布。我的accpetance rate 16-18以及yield61％的估计，应该是比较准确的。我觉得yield去年37％的yield是特别低的，类似我国高考的小年，不反应问题。今年的招生似乎是比较理想的。客观评论，yale的acceptance rate按照以往情况和合理性，应该在20-25%左右，yield应该在55-60%左右，当然这个数据会随着每年申请的整体情况略有波动。 Hi Cheeyong! Thanks for sharing. Want be great to have a few more thoughts from you! I actually visited Yale this March. The campus and Yale itself is AMAZING....However,,,,,,i feel SOM is not sharing the same level of resource as other department. Be more accurate, i feel SOM located in a very very small building and forgotten..The facility of the school can not compare to other Yale's school or even some TOP 20-30 MBA with business focus. So i suggest this is why its yield rate is so slow..International students come to have a dream about getting into the world famous YALE. But when accepted and visiting, figure YALE doesnt equal to SOM.....However, its ranking and international students placement is still very good. Also, the teaching method of Yale seems very traditional and academic to me. Haven't really link it to the real business world ..After all, Yale itself is very for research and academics, which i persoanlly think it's less important in a MBA program. PLease correct me if i am wrong and share some thoughts why Yale is good ^ ^! Cause my bf is going to Yale for Phd....wuwuwuw I want to go to the same school with him....But merely based on my last visit to Yale, i can't convince myself to go .... Also, i hope more internatioal students can understand the exact pros and cons of SOM before applying..Merely just dreaming of a YALE name and apply is not a appropriate way and it will lower Yale's yield rate as well. Last time the adm officer told me that they have a very serious problem that students oftentime come to apply Yale with a wrong expectation. Not that it is not a good school, but you need to know what to expect and what not to expect from this program. ! |
