Well, JFK is about a 1 hour 45 min drive from Yale. There apparently are these shuttle services:

I'm not sure if there are others. I just did a quick google search.
if the flight is any cheaper, you could fly into Boston, which is about a 2 1/2 hour drive from New Haven. I didn't look for Boston shuttles, but I would guess there is at least one service.
Obviously, flying directly into New Haven would be more convenient, but I can imagine that the flight would be more expensive. You'll have to weigh that against the time/cost for a shuttle.
In terms of campus visit and the interview, you are correct, everything happens in one day. Dress code for campus visit is casual, although some people always wear suits. Dress code for interview is business formal

Hi there -
If your plan is to visit Columbia, HBS, and SOM I'd fly to either NYC or Boston visit Columbia/HBS respectively then take the train (Metro North from NYC or Amtrak from Boston) to New Haven and then take the train to whichever school is left to visit. The train from NYC is ~2hrs and then you can walk (its a fairly long walk) or cab to SOM campus. You can definitely just have a day in New Haven. When I visited some folks left their baggage (small roll-aboard/duffle) with the kind admissions folk in the office for the day.
Have fun!

I agree. There are only a few commercial flights that fly into and out of New Haven and it does drive up the cost. You'll have far more options with Boston and NYC - traveling between all three cities on the train is easy.
