From
the Admissions Office
As the summer winds down and the recruiting season gets underway,
we wanted to take a moment to update you on the application to Yale SOM’s
class of 2010 and the line-up of admissions events for this fall, as well
as provide some tips on how to present the strongest application possible — this
month, focusing on the GMAT exam.
 Putting
the Yale Curriculum to Work
In her first year, Jenna Angeles '08, learned to study
issues from multiple points of view and not view the world through
a narrow framework. An internship in consulting struck her as an
excellent way to put her new skills to work.

Profile: Betting on Finance
When I picture the person I was when I entered Yale SOM,
it’s probably far from who I’ll be when I leave. I came
from a nonprofit background, but now I’m in finance. I worked
for Working Today in New York, which runs the Freelancers Union. I
was in fundraising, which is mostly focused on getting grants and gifts.

Spotlight: Tito Vidaurri '91, Managing Director & Country Head, Deutsche
Bank Mexico, SA
"Yale
SOM gave me the tools and opened the doors to build a career
in finance, which in turn, has allowed me to directly participate
in the recent transformation of Mexico and other Latin American
countries."
