Why did you choose to attend Yale SOM?

I chose to attend Yale SOM because of how welcomed I felt when I started contacting community members. I believe that Yale SOM close knit community provides you with the best MBA experience: You get to know your classmates better; the vast array of professional opportunities is available to everyone; and the collaboration between the community is unmatched.
