U. of C. Booth dean goes to Yale
By Greg Burns

Tribune staff reporter

12:46 p.m. CST, January 20, 2010

The business-school dean who landed a $300 million donation for the University of Chicago has agreed to serve as dean at the Yale School of Management in Connecticut, beginning July 1, 2011.

Edward "Ted" Snyder announced last month that he would be stepping down from Chicago's Booth School of Business as of June 30. Following a year's leave, he will replace Sharon M. Oster at Yale.

Snyder has headed the Chicago business school since 2001, and in 2008 announced a $300 million gift from alumnus David Booth and his family, the university's largest donation ever. The school was renamed in Booth's honor.

When he announced his decision to step down last month, Snyder cited an unofficial policy at Booth limiting the tenure of its deans to two five-year terms. His final term would have expired in 2011.

Great news about Snyder!

Bamo, wasn't this very news described as a ridiculous impossibility in your thread on Yale v. Cornell over at BW? All the sweeter for it....

Ha, I just wandered over to check that out! I probably should have looked before posting, these message boards advance so quickly while I'm at work until 9:00.

How useful are the BW forum postings compared to this website? I am pretty new to this networking with other applicants (although it's nice to know I'm not the only one struggling through essays, anxiously waiting for school responses, etc) and don't know if it's worth also going to BW or if it's pretty much the same content...

To follow up on the last response, my opinion is that your preference between the two is personal.

- If a nice discussion is important to you, you'll probably prefer GC.
- If you'd prefer to hear information from professional admissions consultants, BW is the way to go.
- If you want to hear from current students, GC.
- If you are 100% committed to working in investment banking / private equity / or for only the "finest" hedge fund and want to only consider everything from that point of view, again BW.
- If you, on the other hand, you'd like constant reminders of why you don't want to work with IB / PE / hedge fund people... actually BW does that for me, too.

I read BW, particularly the Ask Sandy thread, for entertainment. I come to GC and actually post here because I think it's useful and it's structured in a way that makes me want to participate.

Yeah I brought the idea up on that thread and a few guys quickly shut me down and yes, one guy was willing to bet his life savings that Snyder or the Kellogg dean will not come to SOM.

Of course those guys are BW are now saying how Yale probably paid Snyder gazillions to sign up, but I have a feeling it has more to do with the Yale name. Snyder went from Darden, to Michigan to Chicago. I think he probably wanted more impact out of his last stop, but that's just my two cents. When Snyder took on Chicago in 2000 that school was ranked 10th as well. Let's see if he can take Yale all the way to the top

hey guys..
new to the forum..i applied to Yale for R2.I believe the i/v invites have started rolling out.
But when I look at my app,it still shows that they are awaiting my undergrad transcripts,but when i see the application,i can see the transcripts uploaded.
Should i cross check with them?the website says to wait for 4 weeks before the status change,but Yale is my top choice and im kinda nervous.!

wow.. interview already? that's super fast! How come my R2 status still says "awaiting GMAT result"? Isn't GMAT based on self-reported scores until admission offer is extended?

What about the people who've got interview invite already? Does your status show "awaiting GMAT result"? I didn't ask GMAC to mail the result to Yale... thinking it's not necessary until I got an offer, or at least interview invite.

Thanks and good luck!


Ounce - go ahead and send them your scores. They'll get 'em in 5-7 business days. I was under the same impression, but I was advised that until official scores are received your file is consider incomplete/pending review.

Best of luck bud.

ETS takes upto three weeks to send scores. This is the timeline they themselves mention and my scores have taken that long to reach in the worst case. I must confess the period included the Christmas and the new year weekends.
