just generally, how prestigious is it viewed as? relative to say... Tuck or Stern or Haas?

Yale SOM is a solid top 15 program that is making moves to rise up. It's still below Tuck/Haas/Stern in terms of prestige and recruiting, but we'll see whether Dean Snyder can turn things around.
Yale SOM - Anyone go there for a MBA? (Originally Posted: 11/07/2008)
How to people view an MBA from Yales SOM? anyone here actually go there for a MBA? how does it compare to other schools?
I don't know much about the program but it is much younger than your traditional MBA programs. I know they are investing heavily to try and bring up its ranking every year -- with the prestige of Yale attached to the name it definitely has a leg up in that sense.
sorry, don't know much about the specifics of the program.
Yale SOM - MSF at another university (Originally Posted: 03/15/2011)
Does anyone know if Yale allows MBA students to opt out of some of the classes? i.e If you did an MSF at another university, could you then opt out of similar classes at Yale's MBA program?
Thanks.
Best way to find out definitively is just to call someone at the administrative/admissions office and ask. If you do it right you don't even need to tell them your name, if you're concerned about that impacting your admissions prospects or something.
I wouldn't worry about "prestige" until I was accepted. If you are weighing acceptances and Yale is the top school you get accepted to...go for it. Just focus on doing a great job and not looking too far ahead.
Place very well in finance. It was on my list of target schools, but the Dean has just resigned to join Apple in an advisory role. Still sounds like a really good school to me; alumni base is strong (it's Yale) and it seems to be rising in the rankings each year too.
Yale is slightly below Stern but way below Haas and Tuck. What are your MBA goals? Also, as stated previously, if SOM is the best school you can get into. Then go, it's a good school.
Anyone with direct experience with this school or any additional info would be great.
(Full disclosure I applied to and was accepted at Yale SOM with $)
Yale SOM is a great non-profit programme and has surprisingly strong placement in terms of finance among the Darden/Ross/Fuqua/Yale SOM cohort. Consulting-wise however it drastically lags behind that same group which tends to be Fuqua>Ross>Darden>>>Yale SOM (roughly).
The new building is fantastic, and Yale is definitely putting money into it. Additionally, their alumni are fairly active and tend to be as devoted as those I spoke to at Darden, but not quite on par with Tuck.
Overall, compared with the programmes you mentioned, Yale SOM is not on the same level as Tuck or Haas. As for Stern, Stern has the better finance placement by far and they are fairly even (if not Yale SOM having a slight advantage) in terms of MBB %.
The one thing I will say is I've been hearing that Yale SOM is on the rise for the last few years and they have stayed fairly stagnant compared to their competitors in their tier. I think perhaps one day it could overtake Stern, but that will be a long-time coming as placement-wise it still needs to catch Fuqua, Ross, and Darden let alone any of the top 10. Also, while their entrance stats are fairly impressive, having met a number of current and soon to be '16s, I found a significant number of them to be from non-profit or social enterprise backgrounds compared to every other school I looked at. So, go to the best programme based on placement NOW not what you think it could be in ten years.
At the end of the day, if Yale SOM is the best programme you get into, then go for it.
get into ibanking in NYC for sure with a yale MBA. Know a couple of people. of course that was back in a good market.
FWIW I am headed to Yale SOM in the fall, and I turned down Haas. I quite like both schools though. I am coming from boutique hedge funds in Europe. At the end of the day I believe the b-schools that can claim a spot in the 10-15 tier offer similar opportunities, and it comes down to personal preference. I personally wasn't interested in Stern (or several other schools considered traditional top 10). Having dealt with finance recruiters in Europe I actually think the Yale brand is better for my specific purposes than Tuck/Stern/Haas.
