One of our favorite roles as admissions
consultants is helping people shape their list
of schools. There's nothing more rewarding
than working with someone dead set on
Wharton, only to realize "hey, you are perfect
for Kellogg" ... and then have that person
wind up at Kellogg, happy as can be.

We pride ourselves on our ability to be more
than "yes men" or even "campaign managers"
who shape results. We also believe we are
true counselors who simply have more
information than most of the people we are
counseling.

4. • Yale SOM has a new, state-of-the-art building
on the way. The funds are being raised
(initially a concern, but not so much now that
a $50 million naming gift from Ned Evans has
bolstered the project), the plans are
gorgeous, and it can safely be assumed that
in a matter of years, Yale will go from one of
the worst MBA facilities to one of the best, if
not THE best.

5. • Yale SOM is young. It's a relatively new
business school (and it's small), so the alumni
base is tiny, compared to MBA powers. That
has been a problem for deans who try to raise
money and build awareness, but it's a problem
that will naturally be abated as Yale SOM
grads go out and do great things. The flip side
of having a small alumni base is that virtually
all of the 6,000 or so alumni of the program are
still active in their careers and fall within just a
few generations of Yale classes.

6. • SOM is at Yale. I know, duh. But never forget
the value of a business school being in the
warm embrace of a powerful university,
especially in the age of interdisciplinary learning
models. SOM's Yale address allows the
business school to be aggressive with
specialties and with the raw case method,
because world class learning is available just
down the block in every field. When you don't
have to strain for multi-disciplinary learning
models, the education flows more smoothly and
people can be great at what they are great at.

7. • Ted Snyder. When Ted Snyder first left
Chicago Booth and announced he was
joining Yale, the prevailing opinion is that
Yale had it made in the shade. But as with
everything else in modern society, the
backlash soon kicked in and op-eds in the
Wall Street Journal and other publications
started to question whether the Ted
Snyder magic will work again.
Our opinion? Yes, it will.

8. • All told, Yale is a school to really watch - a
blue chip stock. It's great now, for the
experience, especially if you want a
smaller class size, great career services,
strength in health care, the rigor of the raw
case method, and top notch finance. But
it's going to be even better as a value play
for down the road, when your degree
keeps soaring up the rankings. When you
start planning your MBA search for this
fall, be sure to give Yale SOM its due.
