FAQs

• What is the application fee?

  

  The standard application fee is $250. For applicants earning less than $40,000 a year, the application fee is $175. For applicants earning less than $20,000 a year, it is $125. The application fee is based on the total annual compensation information you provide in the application. If you are admitted and enroll, we will verify this compensation information. Your offer of admission is contingent on successful verification.

• What types of recommendations does the Admissions Committee require?

  

  The application requires two professional recommendations, one of which ideally should come from your most recent supervisor. If you are an entrepreneur or work for your family’s business, you may get a professional recommendation from a client or mentor. Please select recommenders who know you well and can speak to your strengths.

• Does Yale SOM accept three-year undergraduate degrees?

  

  To apply to Yale SOM, an applicant must have a four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. institution or the international equivalent. International applicants with a three-year degree from an accredited institution may apply.

• Is the TOEFL, PTE Academic, or IELTS required for all international applicants?

  

  No, the TOEFL, PTE Academic, or IELTS exam is not required for international applicants.

• What do I need to do to be considered for a merit scholarship?

  

  All applicants are automatically considered for a merit scholarship. There is no need to take any additional steps to be considered. If you are awarded a scholarship, you will be notified at the same time you learn of your admission to the program. If you do not receive a merit scholarship, there are other means of financing your MBA studies, including outside scholarships for which you may be eligible. https://som.yale.edu/programs/mba/affording-your-mba

• What is the Behavioral Assessment and how is it used in the admissions process?

  

  The Behavioral Assessment is an online exercise administered by ETS, the testing service behind the GRE. But unlike the GMAT or GRE, which are tests of certain cognitive abilities, the Behavioral Assessment is a non-cognitive instrument that measures a set of inter- and intrapersonal competencies that are associated with academic success in business school. The exercise itself should take about 25 minutes to complete. You’ll be given 130 pairs of statements and asked to select the ones that best match your own behaviors.

• Is full-time work experience a requirement for admission?

  

  Although full-time work experience is strongly encouraged, it is not a requirement for admission. Our incoming students have an average of five years of work experience when they start the program, although the overall range of experience is much wider than that.
