Why did you choose to attend Yale SOM?

I literally googled "Best MBA for Nonprofit Work" and Yale was #1, so I decided then and there that SOM would be my top choice. My long-term dream job is to make impact investments on behalf of a grant-giving organization (think Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, etc.), so Yale's reputation in the nonprofit and impact spaces just made sense. Plus, since we're allowed to take electives in any other Yale schools, I can load up on as many School of the Environment classes as I like.
