Yale visit

[yalemba]

Hello! I am coming to visit Yale on Tuesday (10/17) and am very excited about it. I signed up for a campus tour, lunch and a 1 pm class and 2:40 pm class (in case lunch makes me late for 1pm). Can someone tell me:
- if the lunch is going to be with other applicants only or will MBA student(s) be there as well?
-is there a choice of 1 pm classes?
-Is a business suite the appropriate atire
-Is there anything I can do to prepare for the visit (besides having researched the program)
-does anyone have any other suggestions about what to expect and what to take advantage of while at Yale!

tanks in advance!

Lunch is going to be with your tour guide(s). It's a group lunch where there will be current students to answer your questions. Anyone who actually is a tour guide, feel free to provide more info.

Generally, there are a few classes to choose from. I'm not sure what the 1pm options are for Tuesday. They will have a list of courses for you when you arrive.

Business dress is recommended.

Otherwise, for prep, aside from researching the school itself, I would think hard about what type of place you would want to spend the next two years of your life. Fit is important, and its as much about you as it is about your school. Know what works for you, and the rest should be easier.

For other things to do while you're here, I would recommend exploring a bit of New Haven. This means the downtown area, the Yale campus, as well as East Rock, where a lot of us grad students live. Of course, all of this depends on how much time you'll be spending here.

Welcome to Yale (I suppose by the time you see this you'd have gone for the tour and had lunch!)

Paul has done a great job of answering your question. I'll just add that lunch will be with everybody in your tour group -- both applicants and tour guides.

Cheers,
