<p>There is not a single Marketing class even offered to undergrads. You can take them at the SOM with permission. </p>

<p>Yale does not offer a “business” or “marketing” or “communications” majors. I recall your asking the same thing about Columbia. The Ivies in general are based in the traditional Liberal arts camp.</p>

<p>Does the major I choose that I’m interested in affect my decision?</p>

4

<p>If you showed particular potential in a STEM major, that could be a boost. Otherwise, intended major has no effect on your decision</p>

<p>I mentioned marketing in my essay, do you know what’s the closest thing to marketing?</p>

<p>Just so I stay consistent</p>

<p>To be blunt I wouldn’t mention “marketing” at all. If Yale was interested in undergraduate business they would offer it and classes in marketing.</p>

<p>Perhaps say that you are interested in human behavior and psychology as it pertains to economics. “Marketing” is a low-level application of that area of study.</p>

<p>Here is a book that’s used in intro Econ and touches on “marketing” issues - go to page 81 and see if if you like this sort of thing which is as close to “marketing” as you will probably get at Yale.</p>

<p>Yes. If, for example, you write “marketing” down as your interest or intended major, Admissions might reject you as: (1) They don’t offer that as a major and if they admit you, you will mostly likely be disappointed by attending Yale, and (2) You have not done your due diligence on the majors offered at Yale.</p>
