Yale SOM Interview Questions & Report: Round 1 / 2nd Year Student / On-Campus
The following Yale MBA interview questions and report were submitted to Clear Admit by a Round 1 applicant. Good luck to them! The interview was conversational, but a bit more serious compared to other experiences I’ve had (in retrospect). This was my 2nd interview and 1st time with a student, so I think I underestimated the the seriousness of the tone. Yale SOM provides bios of all their admissions fellows/ambassadors online. It’s not worth your time trying to memorize all of them in hopes of being able to recall it when you meet your interviewer day-of. But just as an FYI, everyone’s Read more
