701明显不算很高的AVERAGE

以Yale的排名看，它应该在680左右。

I just went through bios of all those 2004&2005 China Trip participants posted on YALE's website. It seems that few student from mainland worked through this event. I mean most Chinese participants have gained w/e or degree in the States, which sounds like stronger backgrounds.

如果Yield偏低，学校一定会从waitlist上录取人，比如05年。但是今年，yield那么高，YALE前两轮就超额完成了任务，第三轮好像只录取了一个人，更别说waitlist了。最后学校为了把入学人数控制在180-200左右，不得不鼓励大家defer一年，前40个defer的学生可以免去下年第一年的一半学费，折合2万美金啊，呵呵。

请问，去年Yale 的Yield 如此高，以至于很多人都会Defer到今年，会不会降低今年的录取比率？或者说申请会比较困难？

我是big four auditor+投资银行equity research背景，GMAT740,TOEFL 643。拿到了今年新设立的kevin Y. Zhang奖学金。

请问LZ是Which big four 的？算上KPMG的Alum ，大陆录取了2个这方面背景的，我觉得Yale 的特点是不全侧重于培养Business Leader，要更广泛些，像LZ这样Typical 的business  background 的applicant 是如何回答Why Yale 这个问题的呢？

另外，kevin Y. Zhang奖学金是自动考虑的吗？还是要单独申请？

All merit-based scholarships do not require separate application. You will be notified if you are the recipient.

Yale SOM has begun to accept this year's applications. This year's essays are exactly the same as the last year's.  The first essay is a traditional one: Why MBA and Why Yale? Career goal? Career progress? Limited to 500 hundred words. The second one is very flexible. You can develop your own topic and write anything you desire. Also limited to 500 hundred words. I would like to point out that don't worry about the word limit. You can definitely write up to 600 hundred words. Trust me!

In my view, applicants must seriously explore Yale SOM's value and the new core curriculum. You can find the relevant information from SOM's website.  BTW, don't view SOM as a non-profit management school. Actually, many students want to pursue their careers in IB. In mid January every year, there is a "super week", during which many Wall Street banks come to campus for internship recruitment. SOM invites as many banks as possible, including Merrill Lynch, UBS, Citigroup, etc. The recruitment lasts four days during which three rounds interview are conducted.  Four SOM students made use of this opporutnity and interned in Merrill this summer, and all have been offered a full-time position.
