Chicago (Booth) 2013 - Calling All Applicants

My scholarship exceeds $30k/yr as well, so I was a bit perplexed by that. I'm assuming it is possible to receive multiple scholarships? I was hoping to review the package during my equally unproductive day today (and with Wharton tomorrow and my vacation kicking off Friday, this is clearly going to be a lost week).

IF YOU WERE DINGED:

Keep your head up. You can see by my profile that I have gone through several dings. I got the admittance call yesterday at 2:34CST and one of the things that my caller indicated was how impressed they were with the changes I made with the 9 months I had between applications. Do not rely on the same things. Be true to yourself on where you may have fallen short and take major strides to fill the gap. I can sympathize with the disappointment some of you feel, but can testify that continuing to press will pay off. And this is a GREAT feeling.

Looking forward to joining you other Booth 15' acceptances in the upcoming events next year before class!

Lastly, I heard that scholarship $ may or may not be discussed on the call yesterday. It wasn't discussed, so I don't know if that means I didn't receive any, or if it might come in the packet. Still waiting to get info on the admitted students site, and assuming that we don't have to accept admission until February.

I'm thinking that that $30k probably went up a little bit because of a tuition increase that has not yet been announced for next year. Who knows. Anyway, from Cheet's post a few pages back it sounds like you cannot have a fellowship AND a scholarship. You will be considered for fellowships equal to or more than your scholarship, but if you get a better fellowship, you give up your schoalrship. She can correct me if I misinterpreted anything.

Corndog/MaizePerro: Your question about scholarship was answered a few pages back. Allow me to re-post Cheet's helpful information. Congrats on your acceptance!

Thanks!

My scholarship info wasn't in the update. I believe an actual email is supposed to come that gives you access to the admitted students' website. That is when the scholarship info will be available (according to what the adcom told me during my acceptance call yesterday)

I believe they are separate. When you accept admission, you also have to pay your deposit...just like wen you submitted your app and had to pay your fee.

Thank you! At least someone remembers the call. I can't recall anything! Was in too much shock..

Congrats on getting a scholarship. If you don't mind sharing, how much is the scholarship?

Waitlisted. Booth and Kellogg.

Better than a swift kick in the pants, but unfortunately bringing no clarity to my future plans.

Waitlisted too..looks like there are a lot of WL'ers this year. All the best guys

Last year we were all a bit confused about having to accept admission in order to get on the admitted students site. I think there is a link on your application status page that asks you to accept admission. Just do it. This does not mean you are committing to Booth. It just gives you access to the admitted students portal. You aren't officially committed until you pay your money which you don't have to do for a while.

what would we do without you cheetarah

waitlisted too

So, what does the waitlist even mean for international students?
I read somewhere that it can take 8 months.. .No time for Visa arrangements or scholarship. Feels like a ding.

I accepted via the link in the application. I got an email with the information on the deposits ($2,000 due Feb 19 and $1,000 due June 5). Still no information about the admitted students page, I will update if I get more information.
