FROM The Booth Experience: A Booth Community Purpose
The first time I stepped into the Winter Garden brought me back to a peculiar memory I had long forgotten; a decade ago when I was nineteen years old, I had my first big travel experience when I flew into Europe and landed in a Zurich, Switzerland airport to begin my trip. Just like that … Continue reading A Booth Community Purpose →

Any idea how quickly the turnaround is between receiving an interview and giving the interview? How much time at minimum do we get to prep (and is it worth doing so in detail beforehand)?

I also wonder if it's worth more than a week prepping in any case, but great to get your thoughts.


You will be able to schedule your own interview; in round 1 there was a very long time frame you could choose from (4 weeks or so I believe). You can look earlier in this thread to get a handle on the R1 experience.

The interview is very conversational and given by 2nd year students (on campus at least, I assume alumni off campus). My guess is they are gauging 'fit' more than drilling you on your resume - though you could always get an abnormally tough interviewer. I honestly didn't do great on the 'harder' behavioral questions but think I was strong enough interpersonally that it perhaps overcame. Expect whatever interviewer you get to want to hear your case on "Why Booth" - just like you would get at any other non HSW M7 school.

FROM Booth Admissions Blog: Getting Ready for Round Two Interviews

Hello from the Windy City! We have not quite been living up to our name this winter – as this weekend we enjoyed temperatures in the mid-40s! The lakefront was busy with Chicagoans and tourists taking advantage of the warm weather by running, biking and walking along the Lake – one of my favorite places to run in the city.

We have been busy in the office reading applications and have enjoyed learning more about everyone’s story. We have begun to release invitations to interview this week on a rolling basis with all decisions being released by February, 4. If you are invited to interview you will receive an email with thorough instructions, but I wanted to go over a few of your interview options so that you may begin to plan ahead. We want to give you the flexibility to pick the interview option that works best for you.

On-Campus Interviews (Hyde Park & Downtown Chicago)

Weekday interviews will take place from Tuesday, February 10 – Friday, March 6 at the Harper Center in Hyde Park. We will also offer interviews on Saturday, February 21 at Booth 455, located just across the street from our downtown campus, the Gleacher Center. Interviews in Chicago will be conducted by our second-year student Admissions Fellows.

If you live in, or plan to travel to Chicago for your interview, we encourage you to take part in a campus visit as part of your interview experience. You can sit-in on a class, talk with an admissions director, and have lunch with current students.



Hub City Options

We know that not everyone can make the trip to Chicago – so we are bringing Chicago Booth to many domestic and international cities!

     •    New York City on Saturday, February 21st

     •    Washington, D.C. on Saturday, February 28th

     •    San Francisco on Saturday, March 7th

     •    London on Saturday, March 7th

     •    Hong Kong on Saturday, March 7th

Interviews at our hub locations will be conducted by staff, alumni and Admission Fellows. Further details about the locations and scheduling will be sent via email when you receive your invitation to interview. Interviewing in one of our hub locations is a great way to meet members of the Booth community. All of the cities above will have an informal networking opportunity with local alumni that will allow you to gain insight into life at Booth.

Off-Campus Interviews

If you are unable to travel to Chicago or one of our Hub locations, you also have the flexibility to interview with a Booth alumna/alumnus in your city. The admissions office will match you with an alum in your nearest major city. You will both then decide on a mutually convenient date and location (generally a coffee shop or an office) to meet. All off-campus interviews need to be completed by March 1st.   

Our staff, students and alumni are looking forward to learning more about you and your story in the interview. Best of luck to everyone selected to interview. Remember the interviews are just a conversation! For those of you visiting Washington, D.C. my colleague, Kristen Bautz, and I will look forward to meeting you!


Best,

Kelly

Well, what situation would you rather be in? Not knowing when they would come out and be anxious, or knowing that they've started coming out and be anxious?

Nothing. I don't think there is any correlation between invite date and likelihood of acceptance. A lot of people got them near the bell in R1 and last year. Mine came on day 2 and I'm sure I was not an exceptional candidate, having now met some of the competition. Looks like those who get through R2 will have some impressive classmates.

Invited to interview! Good luck everyone.

Edit: Chicago based, for those curious. Not sure that matters.
