好像很少人討論Yale的MBA

[Ivy-Canada]

想請問一下有沒有讀Yale的學長姊呢? 想問問在那邊上課的情形+summer intern 找工作的情形. 好像很少人討論Yale的MBA.

我現在必須決定去Cornell或是Yale. 其實我本來是已經決定要去Cornell了. 可是親戚一直說Yale的名氣比較大, 叫我要去讀Yale. Cornell的校風, 課程我都很喜歡. Yale的資訊比較少, 好像很少有台灣人在那邊讀. Yale的網站也沒有寫得很詳細. 以後我希望往consulting 方向走, 不知道以各位的認知哪個學校會比較好呢? 謝謝回覆!

去CONSULTING版看看吧
有許多相關的資訊

基本上，你親戚說的YALE名氣大是沒有錯的，因為Yale"綜合"的排名確實是很高

但是如果專就商學院來說，Cornell的名氣不見得比較差，甚至在就業資源上 CORNELL所花的資源可能還要更多一些。（記得唸過一篇報導，說CORNELL為了加強其就業服務，專門包了一輛飛機載公司代表來校園面試）

不過 這兩間都是好學校，尤其YALE最出名的是其non-profit的program。你可以多方面比較看看。

Although Yale has been known for non-profit. Most of the kids end up going into finance and consulting. Class of 2007, I believe 30% of the students went to finance related jobs. The school also has pretty strong stats placing people in ibanking. Please look at the career office website. As for consulting, not too sure about the ratio, but I am sure you can look it up on Career develoment office's website. 　I know that for the class of 08, 5 people are going to mckinsey. I suggest you take a lookat both campuses before making a decision. After all, you will be spending 2 years of your life there. I can get you contacts from current SOM students from Taiwan and I am sure he knows more than I do. Let me know if needed.

To Opeman:
我看了Yale的Employment report, 有14%的是畢業後在consulting industry工作, 而Cornell是17%. 看起來Cornell應該比較適合我, 但是我看了你發表的 "Top Consulting Firms最喜歡哪幾間MBA的畢業生", 裡面是寫Cornell students 被Top 7的consulting company hire的只有四個, 反而Yale有14個. 這樣是代表top consulting companies比較喜歡Yale的學生嗎?

To Vader: 我想問一下有沒有可能知道Cornell跟Yale哪一個會有比較多的hands-on opportunities either in-class or in those competitions held at school. 因為我的background是做international education consulting的, 所以我希望在學校可以有多一點的hands-on experience來彌補我business方面不足的工作經驗. 還有就是以找工作來說, 哪間學校的career resources 比較多呢? 從學校網站看來Yale的recruiter大概只有Cornell的1/3. 還是說它其實是有很多resources的只是網站沒有全部列出來? 感覺Yale名氣這麼大應該很多公司會想要recruit Yale 的MBA學生阿.

To lunar916: hehe~ya Ithaca seems like an isolated town! good thing is that 不會有太多花錢的誘惑...?

非常謝謝大家的回覆!!

FYI. My friend, who worked in banking industry, had the same dilemma before, and he eventually turned down YOM for Cornell.

Hello Ivy,

對於Cornell consulting job placement,我拿我手上最新的2008 class畢業生資料給你說明一下,
For top3, we have
Mck(10)
Bain(4)
BCG(0).
如果再加上Booz Allen Hamilton 我們又加上4個,總共Top4加起來是18個,
順帶一提,裡面有兩個去Bain上海的一個台灣人一個中國人,Mck上海的一個中國人.

Besides, Cornell有蠻強的placement in
Accenture(6),
Deloitte(7)
Capgemini(3)
AT Kerney(1)
IBM(3)
我只有列strategy and operation practice.
以一個250個人的班,其中又只有差不多1/4~1/5的人是真的在找consulting job,
這樣的placement應該算是挺樂觀的吧
Cornell的學生還是以走finance為主,所以想做consulting的真的是少數
加上想走consluting的人中間又很多跑去general management的job,
我們的second year都跟我說,真的堅持用心去找consulting的最後全都找到了,
給你參考一下摟

Goodspeed
