Hey guys, I noticed that after I submitted a document on the "Upload Materials" section, it just confirms receipt, but doens't let me view what I submitted. Is that the same for everyone?

And the waiting begins...I cracked a joke at the end of my very serious video. Hopefully they don't think I'm mocking them. I'm really mocking myself.

Ended up revisiting, going to a class, and submitting both a video and an additional letter of recommendation, this time a character reference. We'll see how it goes.

I just set a word limit of 500 for myself and stuck to it..

I don't think the word count will matter as long as what has been written has been edited well and makes perfect sense..

Hello, does anyone have additional recommendation send to the school? How do you confirm if the school receives the letter? The founder of the NGO for which I volunteer sent a recommendation for me to the school by email but she hasn't heard anything back from the school. So wondering how to make sure the school get the letter?

From what I understand, if they sent it to the general admissions e-mail (admissions@chicagobooth.edu) and included your reference number, you should be fine.

My "reference number"?? what is that..
when i called the office to ask them, they said that they will be able to attach it to my file based on my first and last name and that it should be sufficient...think that is cause for concern. Either ways..nothing that can be done now...Good luck everyone for next Tuesday..

Your reference number appears at the very top of the page when you log into your account. I had also forgotten about it, and my recommender submitted a letter without the reference number. Yesterday, I confirmed with Booth that the letter has been added to my application file. So, you shouldn't worry about it.

Good luck everybody!

I got the call from Eddie at 10:01 EST, I'm in. Good luck to everyone.

EDIT: If you were wondering, I did a video, visited the school (had visited in May last year), stayed in touch with Eddie in admissions and got one extra alumni support letter.

Yeah. I visited in person, did the video, wrote another essay and had an alum write a letter of support. They actually said when they called that they were impressed with how I handled being on the waitlist. Apparently they weren't freaked out by my borderline stalking.
