What is your advice for a prospective SOMer?
Be proactive and reach out! You will get a much deeper understanding of Yale SOM experience, its community, and the life here at New Haven from having conversations with real people, rather than looking for information online. Reach out to Student Ambassadors, participate in online sessions, or visit the campus, if that is an option. If this is something that you're not used to - especially for international students like me - this would be a great practice in building new networks as an MBA student, which you will be doing A LOT as soon as you step into the campus.
