We encourage you to visit our campus to get a firsthand view of the Yale SOM experience. Campus visits have ended for the 2007-2008 academic year and will resume for the 2008-2009 academic year on Monday, September 14, 2008. However, if you will be visiting New Haven over the summer and wish to go on a campus tour with a member of our staff, please call 203.432.6380.

Campus Visit

While on campus you can take a tour, visit a class, and have lunch with students all in one day. The schedule looks like this:

9:30 a.m.	Admissions Q&A Session
10:00 a.m.	Class
11:20 p.m	Tour and Lunch
1:00 p.m.	Class
2:40 p.m.	Class

Admissions Q&A Session
Do you have questions about the application or admissions process? An Admissions Officer will be on hand to answer your questions and help demystify the process.

Visiting a Class
You will receive a schedule of the day’s available classes when you arrive on campus. We encourage you to arrive at the Admissions Visitor Center 20 minutes before class is scheduled to begin. To be fair to our students and faculty and to minimize disruptions, we cannot escort you into class if you arrive less than 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Tour and Lunch
At 11:20 a.m., students will take you on a tour of the SOM campus, and then to SOM’s dining hall (Donaldson Commons) for lunch. Tours leave the Admissions Visitor Center promptly at the scheduled departure time, so please try to arrive a few minutes early.

Interviews

Interviews are conducted by invitation of the Admissions Committee. If you receive an interview invitation, please schedule your interview through the link in the invitation e-mail. Once your interview appointment is scheduled, you will receive an email confirmation. If you have trouble scheduling or don’t receive a confirmatory email, please call the Admissions Visitor Center at 203-432-6380.

Because interviews occur throughout the day, there is ample time to participate in the other elements of a campus visit — Admissions Q&A, tour, lunch, and class visit — while you are here for your interview. We will automatically include you in these activities when you schedule your interview.

Connect With a Student

Check out our Admissions Ambassadors page to get a sense of the wide range of student backgrounds at SOM.  You may see someone who went to your alma mater, is from your hometown, or worked at your company. Feel free to reach out to the Admissions Ambassadors for questions about student life, classes, or to meet for coffee or lunch while you’re on campus.

Getting Here

Visiting Yale University

While you’re visiting the SOM campus, you may want to explore parts of the greater University and the City of New Haven. Please visit the Yale University Visitors Gateway to find out more information about art museums, restaurants, and tours of the University.

Still have questions?

If you still have questions about SOM after your campus visit, feel free to post on our discussion board. The Admissions Committee monitors its section of the board daily, and there is also a forum for questions directed toward students.
