Candidate Referral - Alumni & Current Student

Thank you to the hundreds of alumni volunteers who assisted our admissions efforts each year, whether by hosting or attending an event, reaching out to an admitted applicant, or in any number of other ways. Your involvement truly makes a difference and there is a lot of positive momentum that we are looking to continue. Getting your input on top candidates is one way to do that.

As you think of individuals with whom you interact, you may not know their GMAT score or GPA, but you likely know a few individuals who stand out in terms of their intelligence, judgment, diligence, and ability to influence others. These are the people we want. In particular, given the School’s mission to educate leaders for business and society, we are especially interested in individuals who are broad-minded and intellectually curious; who think creatively about situations; and who apply analytical rigor to solutions. In short, we want individuals who are best able to leverage three distinguishing features of Yale SOM:

1.   The business school most integrated with its home University;
2.   The most global US business school; and
3.   The best source of elevated leaders for all sectors and regions

We encourage you to refer as many high-potential individuals as you know. Any candidates that you refer will receive a one-on-one consultation session with a member of the Admissions Committee.

If you've had only brief interactions with a candidate and would like to provide feedback (positive or negative), please submit this Candidate Feedback Form instead.

Thank you for your continued support of Yale SOM!
