Just hope to discuss this for all applicatns to have a better ideas of different views. it is true that building and facility is not what make a MBA succeed. However, it did somehow in a way reflect how much resource this program get indirectly. I don't think SOM is poor..I just feel, at least before, they aren't getting enough attention compare to other departments. ^^ Did you visit SOM before? If you did, yuo will know SOM building..i would say...it's not really a building. it only has 2 floor. And ill-equipped PC center, lack of room for student lounge..And it does not have SOM's own library. They share with social science. But of course, it will change with the new building done. SOM has less than i guess...25 of student clubs? Including all the career-related clubs and activity ones. Of course having over 100 clubs does not mean anything...no students will join more than 4-5 clubs. But it does limit your choices. At least i didn't find one club interest me except one Asian Business club..(sorry..forgot the name @@") I am not comparing SOM to schools that are not within the same level ..I compare SOM to school with same level. Among Top 10-20 No doubt that Yale whole campus is AWESOME!! It has the best campus of all schools I visited . If you feel Yale's great campus is enough compensate SOM's own lackness of resource, then it's personal call. Also, i know that SOM students are very very well-connected. Alumni network is really good. And they don't hold campus recruitment in such a board and ""mass production"" way like others. They invited individual corporates to to small meeting room and have close talk with each student. And their faculty is VERY VERY approachable and supportive. The adm. officer came to the campus that day especially for me to give me a tour even they class has dismissed already! That;s something some schools can't compare. I personally think one great advantage Yale has is its MBA/JD joint degree. That's really UNCOMPARABLE...Yale Law school is among the world best...that's the fact and truth ! I think the best way for applicants to choose the right school is not denying or ignoring what the school lack..(No school is perfect). It's that applicant should fully understand what the school lack and what make it unique and good. Then choose one school that u think all the goodness outweight lackness! Welcome more insightful thoughts and discussion here!! Eager to learn more from all talents here.  You are welcome. We should carefully weight the pros and cons of a business school before we apply. Anyone who deliberately exaggerate or defame a school is ill-willed. You did not attack SOM. You just discuss its strengths and weakness with other people. Don't worry, hehe. I don't deny SOM's current facility and physical location jeopardize materializing its ambition of becoming one of the greatest business schools. That's why the new dean is planing a new campus exclusively for SOM usage, which will cost 150~200 million dollars. I think everything will be settled by 2010. Anyhow, the current condition is still acceptable. For those interested in SOM's MBA program, please pay more heed to its new curriculum and close-knit environment. I haven't compared SOM's student clubs with those of other schools. According to SOM's website, there are over 50 student clubs. I don't know how many other schools have. It seems the student club range is propotional to SOM's small program, which admits only 220 students each year. Anyhow, hope you will find at least one club that meets your interest. Thank you for your valuable inputs.  |
