Prizes are live for the Booth session!
I have entered just to test things out. Should I accidentally win (though usually I rarely do - as demonstrated during these sessions where I have signed up for each one but hardly gotten anything), but should I win, I will give away my prize through another random drawing right after the session

bb · Answer

Congrats to everyone who won! And my pattern continues

I continue not to win (I think I won once so far and I signed up for all sessions)

Hello bb souvik101990

I have sent a mail to Chicago Booth for application fee waiver, as I am one of the winner of GMATCLUB MBA SPOTLIGHT Chicago Booth Winner. They denied to agree for the same. Even, they further told that don't promote such events in which Booth is offering application fee waivers.

Mail received from Booth is as follows:-

Hello Yash,

Additionally, we do not participate in GMAT or GRE fee waiver programs. The GMAT score is valid if the test was taken less than five years before the date of the application, deadline. The test date makes no difference in the assessment of an application as long as it was within five years of your application date. To request an application fee waiver please complete the request form at https://apply.chicagobooth.edu/register/ftfeewaiver.

Booth will grant waivers for the following reasons:

Enrolled full-time in an undergraduate program (non-University of Chicago student)

It would be great if you would  NOT  do that. Unless you are applying this week. Please wait for instructions.

You are creating work for Booth, myself and probably others. Why? Are you applying this week?

Apologies for the same. Okay, I will wait for further instructions from GMATCLUB. I was hoping to start the application form today, so just thought of confirming the same from them.

bb · Answer

Thank you.

PS. I will check again but my guess with lots of things going on, they may. It have gotten to it or they may have to do something to the application and if the app is not open yet; they may not be able to even do it before then. Either way, best to wait for specific instructions.

PS. they did not quite say when they would be sending them so I will check for the timeline.

By the way, I got your private message, this post, and an email from you. All about the fee waiver for the application that is not due for another two months. ?

I highly recommend that you consider your communication strategy with Business schools. You do not want to appear as needy, desperate, and a pest. There is something to say about perseverance but this is probably not the place to show it off ?

Hi everyone, you should have received today an email from Booth about how to redeem your app fee waivers.... if you have not received the email, please check your junk/spam/trash folders (all 3). If you have not received it, please PM me and I will ask the MBA program to resend.

Thanks!
