We are pleased to announce that the application for fall 2009 is live on our web site. This year we’ve added some new features — including new essay topics — that we hope will allow you to present as compelling an application as possible, and also help you begin to think about how an MBA from Yale will enable you to have an impact on the world.

But a new Orientation exercise introduced first-year students to the SOM approach.

 I was immediately attracted to SOM. It's so international, which suits me well since I want to continue working throughout the developing world. SOM recently launched an international exchange program where students get to study at a number of great business schools around the world. I'll be spending the fall at the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore.
