About Yale

greattaste

greattaste,能不能请你介绍一下Yale今年中国学生的背景情况？比如工作背景、年龄、性别等等（怎么听起来有点象征婚：））。还有，能不能谈谈今年中国毕业生的去向？觉得学校的profile对我们的帮助不是很大，因为这是针对全球学生的统计数据，对中国学生的要求肯定会更高的。

今年(2004) 从大陆来的中国同学有 4 个，北京，广州各一个，上海两个，3男一女。年龄range 27 - 29. employer 包括 西门子，P&G, 美国驻上海总领官，MARS 爱芬食品（旗下品牌包括德芙, M&M's 等).  

聊聊Class of 2006的同学Summer intern 的情况. 从大陆来的四位同学暑假会去Goldman Schas HK - equity research, JP Morgan HK - IBD, PepsiCo leadership development, and AT Kearney 工作.

希望这些信息对大家有帮助. Other questions are welcome!

听起来不错哦。原来考虑过申请yale，但是看了employee report之后就打消了念头，现在看来要重新考虑。

另外，美林是global pay吗？

Frankly speaking, we seldom discuss salary with each other.  As far as I know, some IB/MC firms now offer "adjusted global pay" to people who are willing to go back China.

谢谢greattaste！好象真的都挺不错。还想问一问Yale在management方面怎么样？我今后还是想在传统领域里做管理，或者是改行做管理咨询，不知道Yale在这方面强不强？

Some facts:

WSJ ranks Yale No. 3 in strategy (Ranking is always highly debatable, but it at least provides one perspective.) We have a bunch of good professors/courses in strategy and general management, and SOM also offers concentrations in leadership, marketing and strategy, which is a very popular focus among my classmates.

As for top tier strategic jobs, SOM students got into BAH, BCG, McKinsey, Mercer, AT Kearney, Monitor.....Just a few days ago, the Career development office announced it will bring Strategic Planning Group of American Express to do on-campus recruiting. Prior to this year, SPG’s recruiting efforts were focused on Harvard, Wharton, and Columbia.

As for top tier industry positions, we have people at BP, ExxonMobile, Unilever, DuPont, PepsiCo, IBM, DHL, Nestle, P&G,Wal-Mart, J&J, GE capital, Motorola, Cummings, Intel... To my knowledge, DuPont, PepsiCo, and DHL are hiring for their leadership development program on campus.  IBM also did so, but the company didn't accept international students.   BTW, five minutes later we will have ExxonMobile's on-campus presentation.  As the economy is getting better, the school is expecting more opportunities in industries.

Having said that, to get a job with a top tier firm/company is not an easy job, esp. for international students. School can help you connect to major firms/companies, but eventually you need to rely on yourself to make things happen.

想问一下Yale的诸位，申请第一轮和第二轮区别大不大？第一轮的优势在哪里？

本来想赶第一轮的，但是怕首轮牛人众多，我自己的GMAT不是太高（〈750），工作背景又不是五大，咨询公司，是不是第二轮反而好些？

盼指教！

IMHO,

you should apply when your application is ready. Round 1 and round 2 don't make much difference.

Your GMAT is fine as long as it is in the 700 range.  For class of 2006, the school's average GMAT is 696.   In addition,  the student body at Yale SOM is very (can I say that again?) VERY diversified.   Don't worry if you do not have an MNC background.  We have a girl working in the US consulate in SH, and a 30+ Chinese MD who worked as a medical researcher in a hospital in the U.S. before coming to Yale.

Thank you, greattaste!  Can you explain why BW ranking of Yale drops sharply this year?  Why both recruiters and students didn't give a good score?  Thanks
