Admissions Requirements
What are the requirements for applying to the Master of Advanced Management program?
To apply to the MAM program, applicants must either be enrolled or have recently graduated with an MBA degree from a top business school, including those in the Global Network for Advanced Management.
We will be accepting applications from MBA students from business schools outside of the Global Network for Advanced Management during Round 2 and 3 of admissions.
Applicants must complete the online application form, provide transcripts from every college or university attended, submit one professional recommendation and one support letter from their MBA school, complete video questions, essay questions, provide an official GMAT or GRE score, and pay the application fee.
What is the application fee to apply?
The standard application fee is $95 USD. The application fee cannot be waived.
Do I have to have a GMAT or GRE score to apply?
Yes, applicants must submit an official GMAT or GRE score as part of the application. Applications will not be reviewed without a GMAT or GRE score. We are unable to waive this requirement under any circumstances. There is no minimum score required to apply to the Yale SOM MAM program.
What is the average GMAT or GRE for Yale MAM students?
We do not calculate an average GMAT or GRE score for our applicants. There is no minimum score required to apply to Yale SOM.
Do I need to submit official transcripts and degree certificates when I apply?
You do not need to submit official, paper transcripts or the corresponding degree certification to apply. We allow applicants to upload scanned transcripts and degree certificates. If you are currently taking classes at your MBA school, we ask that you please submit your most recent official grades.
If you are admitted, you will need to submit official transcripts and the corresponding degree certificates to enroll. The degree certificate must indicate the type of degree conferred, the institution/location from which you received the degree, and the date of degree confirmation. Please note that if your transcript indicates this information, there is no need to provide us with an additional degree certificate.
What types of recommendations does the Admissions Committee like to see?
The application requires two recommendations, one professional recommendation, ideally from your most recent supervisor, and one from your MBA school indicating you are/were in good academic standing. Please select recommenders who know you well and can speak to your strengths. Do not choose recommenders simply because they are in high-level executive positions at your company.
Is an interview required for admission to Yale SOM?
Yes, all applicants who are offered admission will have had an interview. Interviews are granted by invitation of the Admissions Committee, and conducted over Zoom.
Is the TOEFL, PTE Academic, or IELTS required for all international applicants?
No, the TOEFL, PTE Academic, or IELTS exam is not required for international applicants.
If my transcript is not in English, do I need to submit an English translation of it?
Yes, non-English transcripts should be translated into English. If your institution does not provide an English translation with the transcript, you should obtain a notarized English translation.
Is full-time work experience a requirement for admission?
The MAM program is designed for early to mid-career professionals. Documented work experience will only strengthen your application. The average age of an MAM student is 32 years old.
What is the application process like for a reapplicant?
If you have applied within the last two years, you do not need to submit transcripts or recommendations, but you can and should resubmit test scores (GMAT or GRE) if your scores have improved. You are required to submit a new application, new essays, pay the application fee, and complete the video questions. Although it is not required, you may want to submit new recommendations if they would provide insight into your candidacy since your last application.
If you applied more than two years ago, you will need to submit an entirely new application and provide all required materials.
Is there a GPA requirement?
No, there is no GPA requirement. We look at all applications holistically and a GPA is only one component of a completed application.
