Ask an MBA Admissions Consultant

The Yale School of Management (SOM) is one of the few top business schools that require applicants to write only one essay. This essay is used to show the admissions committee what kind of person you are.

The Yale School of Management (Yale SOM) asks applicants to explain a big commitment and what it means to them.

There is a 500-word limit on the essay, so you need to be clear, direct, and brief in your answer. There shouldn’t be much preamble or extra text.
If you think the required essay topic won’t let you talk about an important or interesting part of your profile, or if there’s something about your application that needs more explanation, you can use the “optional information” space to fill in the blanks.
Who is Yale SOM looking for?
“The Yale School of Management embraces diversity. We believe that effective leaders are those that understand and benefit from the perspectives of people with different backgrounds and that a commitment to building a diverse community is a key element of our mission of educating leaders for business and society.”
