Calling Fall 2010 Chicago Booth Applicants

I held 3 positions with the same company, 2 were very similar with just increased responsibilities and 1 was very different. On my resume, I lumped the first 2 together and broke out the 3rd separately, so it was:

20XX - 20XX Company X
Job #3
- blah
- blah
- blah

20XX - 20XX Company X
Job #1 / Job #2
- blah
- blah
- Promoted from Job #1 to Job #2 on Month Day, Year

Primarily I did this to save space, since breaking out #1 and #2 would've put me over 1 page, but also because there would've been a lot of repetition between #1 and #2. I broke it out the same way on the application data forms.

In terms of the "why you're leaving": for the job I held when I was applying, I just wrote that I currently held that position, rather than saying I was leaving for an MBA.

Going to give it another shot this year. Count me in for RD 1.

Just signed up for the Booth Live event on 9/25. Anyone else going?

Hi all, I am in for R1.

Has anyone gone before? What should I expect?

Thanks.

I'll be attending the info session here in Montreal.

I went last year. I think the description covers it. It is an informal gathering at a bar with current students and prospectives. It is a good way to get material for your essays so try to think of questions before you go.

Ouch, a Booth Live event the day after classes start? I believe they start on 9/24 if I'm not mistaken.

yep that's right.....although the plan is not to have class on Friday!

Do my schedule last quarter. No class Wed. No class Thurs. No class Fri.

gotta love chicago's flex schedule !

I went to the first Booth Live last year. Overall was a good experience, but you do not sit in a real class since classes just started the day before instead they have a mock class.

I do not know what value it will add to reapplicants.

Do these students provide feedback to adcoms?

Me too for R1

Two questions about the application.

1). Did you guys waive the right to review the LORs? I noticed that it was an option to waive that right, I was curious if its advantageous to do so...

2). Some of the essay questions refer to it as Chicago GSB, however I know the name changed to Booth...do they prefer that we refer to it as GSB in our applications or Booth?
