Tune in for this interview with its Assistant Dean for Admissions, Bruce DelMonico.Welcome to the 542nd episode of Admissions Straight Talk, thanks for tuning in. Sometimes I'm asked, "Is the MBA worth it?" And my answer is, "It depends on your individual circumstances." But I've got good news, we've developed a tool that will help you evaluate whether an MBA is worth it for you and your individual circumstances and it also estimates by how much. Check out how much you're likely to benefit, or not, from taking an MBA education. Using the tool won't set you back even one cent because it's free.Don't miss Linda Abraham's 2021 interview with Yale SOM Dean, Bruce DelMonico - full transcript below!It gives me great pleasure to have back on Admissions Straight Talk, Bruce DelMonico, Assistant Dean of Admissions at Yale School of Management. He's been on the admissions Team at Yale since 2004. He became the director in 2006 and the assistant dean in 2012. He was last on Admissions Straight Talk almost two years ago in November 2021. Bruce, welcome back to Admissions Straight Talk. [1:44]Thank you so much, Linda. It's great to be hereI'm so pleased to have you join me today. Now, let's start with a basic overview of the Yale SOM MBA program for listeners who may not be that familiar with it, and if you could focus on the more distinctive or perhaps the newer elements of the program. [1:48]Sure, happy to do that. So just briefly, we're a two-year, full-time, in-residence MBA on the Yale campus in New Haven, Connecticut. There are some things similar to other programs, some things I think are a little bit distinctive, as you say.

I think that's one of the nice features of being in an institution like Yale, is taking advantage of all the resources that the entire university has to offer, so I think that's another distinctive aspect of our program. I think a third thing I would point to is our global footprint. A lot of MBA programs have global programming and I think the way that we've assembled our Global Network for Advanced Management and the kind of opportunities that flow from that, I think are rather unique and I think do give our students a rather special global perspective in their two years with us at Yale.That was a great summary, thank you. Now, you mentioned the Global Network.
