Desired Profile

  • Intellectually curious: You have a passion for delving deeply into challenging questions and can find something intellectually engaging in virtually any topic.
  • Strong quantitative skills: You must love applying logic to problems and have an inherent comfort with data and logical argument. While you need not come from a quantitative discipline, you need to have a data‐centric approach to framing and answering questions.
  • Practical and results‐oriented: First and foremost, you care about solving problems. You take a hypothesis‐driven approach and are willing to iterate to get to a workable solution. You are scrappy, willing to hunt down data and develop assumptions where data is scarce.
  • Attentive to detail: You have the highest standards for your work and always strive for zero defects. You are able to focus to get even the seemingly mundane details right in the service of the larger goal.
  • Emotionally intelligent: You listen well and understand others’ perspectives. You understand that communicating effectively requires bringing your audience along with you.
  • Collaborative and team‐oriented: You love solving problems in a team environment and excel at giving and receiving constructive feedback. You have a coaching and teaching mindset and look to develop the capabilities of those with whom you work.
  • Mission-driven: Committed to and passionate about Yale’s mission and the advancement of higher education.

Casing 101 Session

The second-round interview includes a case. We understand that many applicants will not have prior casing experience. We are therefore hosting a virtual Casing 101 session for all applicants on Wednesday, October 4th, from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM. During the session, we will provide an overview of case interviews for beginners, share best practices, and connect you with additional casing resources.
