As others have mentioned, SOM is a highly passionate and mission-driven institution. I've been consistently inspired by my peers and in awe of what they seek to accomplish with their MBA education for business and society. The student body culture, in my opinion, is another defining hallmark of the SOM experience--folks here genuinely care about each other's personal and professional success. Given that it's Yale, academic excellence is expected and the curriculum/workload can be rigorous at times, though there is a robust support system in place. In terms of recruiting, a large number of students pursue finance and consulting, though others also have technology, non-profit, and entrepreneurial interests.
For future applicants, I'd suggest reaching out to current students to gain deeper insight into the community. Don't be afraid to contact Admissions Ambassadors or Club Leaders!
