I am in for Round 1 as well -

In case you all haven't seen it already, I would like to inform you all that Yale website has offered an early announcement of the essay topic "The Yale School of Management educates individuals who will have deep and lasting impact on the organizations they lead. Describe how you have positively influenced an organization—as an employee, a member, or an outside constituent. (500 words maximum)". The individual round deadlines have been announced as well (R1 - September 18).

I am not allowed to post urls here at the moment, so apologies for not offering the direct link but I am sure you all internet savy people will be able to search on Yale website. The application platform is not active yet but will be so in a month time. Cheers

Here you are, right from Bruce: https://som.yale.edu/node/36337

What's the tuition cost based on? $152,500 per year seems awfully high!

Sorry, the information up there isn't correct. We'll change it soon.
In the mean time, you can find the correct numbers here: https://som.yale.edu/our-programs/mam/ad ... ancial-aid

Excited to apply to Yale... I have to drive to CT though... one of the few schools I have not visited!

Also 500 words for one essay only.... Oh BOY... going to be a wild ride!

If you dislike driving, you can take the Amtrak to New Haven. From the New Haven train station, you can either walk to Yale SOM or take a free Yale shuttle there.

Oh wow... didn't even realize! That's great!

I'm in for R1 as well.

Does anyone know for sure if Yale is going to be among those schools which are adopting common recommendation questions this year?

Hey Everyone!

Hope everyone's essays are coming along nicely (you should at least start if you haven't already!!!).

I compiled all the essay analyses (from experts/consultants). A LOT OF good information is out there on how you should approach the essay questions.
