What questions are asked in the Yale MBA interview?

Yale SOM interviews are resume-based and blind, meaning the interviewer only sees your resume, not your full application. They focus on your professional background, leadership, and teamwork. Here are some common questions you may face:

• Walk me through your resume.
• What are your short-term and long-term goals?
• Why Yale SOM?
• Tell me about a time you led a team.
• How do you define leadership?
• Expect questions about how you’ve made an impact and how your values align with Yale’s mission, like:
• How have you made an impact in your community or workplace?

At the end, you'll likely be asked "Do you have any questions for me?"
Yale’s interview is structured but conversational, focusing on how your experiences align with their emphasis on purposeful leadership. Be authentic and prepared to discuss your leadership and impact.
