YAI keeps class sizes small to foster a tight-knit environment. The application process can be competitive:

For Fall 2023, we received about 200 applications for ~10 new analyst positions in the club. Most of our members come into YAI with no prior finance experience—including all of our current executive board. We find that the most successful applicants are those that dedicate themselves the most to the application process. We encourage all students to apply.
