Calling Chicago GSB 2008 applicants

Fortunately that word was not used in her text... I searched for it.
Chicago got a lil love from me.....A school is a good fit for me when it manages to convey its message without using the you know what word

I think the GSB adcoms try to avoid using "holistic" as much as possible. I only heard it once during the whole GSB Live event.

I think it was more than that, I think nervous was laughing everytime they said it because she knows its my pet peeve. Though they definitely didn't use it as much as other schools. I swear some use that line 10 times every event. Thats a good plus for GSB in my mind. They need a thesaurus because that word is over used far too much.

there should be a drinking game at the next infosession... everyone takes a shot when someone says "holistic"

Your liver deserves better.

better as in better drinks or better games?

better as in dont drink yourself to death.

Just got an email from Chicago GSB with the following message -

I think we can send after invited to interview. I will send an e-mail to the ad com asking if that's possible.

I've received this e-mail...

I thought during the Live Event they said decisions would go out before Xmas. I was hoping to know before the holiday. If I get in then I wouldnt have to spend my vacation stressing over R2 applications.

I think that is there unofficial target date to have it all completed by. They are probably just giving themselves some fudge room in case their schedule slips.

Looking at last years posts, you guys should hear before the 20th

Status changed to received, at least the start was ok!
