@Bytran: In the same email, in section "Mid-decision"

"All applicants will receive an update to their application by the last day of the respective week. The update will either be an invitation to interview or denied without an interview. We will release decisions via our online application system at 9:00 am."

Last day of the week of Oct 28 is Nov 1, which is also when their phase 2 starts (based on the table in the email).

In the Twitter chat the other day someone asked a similar question and the answer was that recommenders have 7 days after the round deadline to submit their files. The chat transcript may be posted on the website if you want to confirm.

Hi All,

I just have a question about the recommendations for Booth. I had added the recommenders quite some time back and it seems that they have not received the links.

I have written to the admissions team and hopefully it should be fixed.

I am planning to apply for R1 and the deadlines are very close. Would Booth be okay if the recommenders submit their recos a little later after 3rd Oct? (I know INSEAD allows an additional week).

Has any one been in this situation before?

In an email that Booth sent to those with incomplete applications, they mention this as well:

"RECOMMENDATIONS - Recommenders have until Wednesday, October 9th to submit their letter of recommendation using the link provided during the application process."

Hey, do you mind sharing your experience at Booth. It could really help applicants of R2.

The event kicked off with breakfast and I had a chance to chat with prospective applicants. I was surprised by the amount of people (out of what looked like almost 120 applicants) that flew in from oversees. About 30 of us were already round 1 applicants with about 70 whom were prospective round 2 applicants.

The assistant dean gave a speech and we had an opportunity to meet most of the admissions team. There was an emphasis on the different strengths Booth has outside of finance, especially in marketing and entrepreneurship.

There was a 5 person student panel where we were able to ask questions to the panel. Diverse panel of 2nd years. 1 was heading to Mckinsey, 1 was heading to a tech start up, 1 was heading to an Oil and Gas Investment Banking in Houston.

We then got a tour of the facilities (I have visited 12 top 20 schools and would place the Booth campus in the top 3). My tour guide was a 2nd year Boothie. He is an entrepreneur and will be heading to BCG full time next year.

Professor Dhar from the marketing department then worked with us on a case for 45 minutes. He did a good job driving the case and guiding the applicants.

After the case was done, the head of the Polsky Center, Mrs. Starr, gave us a presentation. This was the highlight of the live event for me. I am interested in entrepreneurship and her presentation gave me further insights on how I can bring my ideas to a viable product while at Booth.

We then had a closing Q&A with the admissions team. After the Q&A was done we were able to participate in a happy hour event with current Booth students.

Major takeaways for me were
1. Down to earth student body
2. Solid Entrepreneurship skill building opportunities (was a major worry for me prior to the event, now I would say its a top 3 school in this area for me).
3. Active Alumni around the Chicago area
4. Solid Global presence and lots of opportunities to go on career treks around the U.S and around the globe.
5. Many opportunities to tap into the great University of Chicago community for collaboration

Good luck! I am really hoping for good news come Nov 1st :)

My other 2 campuses ranked in top 3 are HBS and Stanford. MIT is a close 4th.

My personal criteria for ranking a business school campus are
- Aesthetics of Facilities
- Look and feel of classrooms
- Look and feel of Study Areas
- Look and feel of Common Areas
- Practicality of Campus Location and offerings
- Where do students tend to live in relation to campus
- What are food options while on campus (assuming many days I will be spending 12+ hours on campus. Options can be in the campus or close to campus)
- Is the campus located in a city that will add significant value to my future professional goals while I am enrolled in the program (tech startups, startup accelerators, mentorship programs)
- Is the campus located in a city that will add significant value to my extra curricular activities and hobbies while I am enrolled in the program (design, coding, cycling, volleyball)

Booth has great looking functional class rooms and ample quite space available for study or group meetings.
Booth has the second largest private art collection in Chicago outside of the art institute. The art makes the common areas quite pleasing.
Almost 70% of the Booth student body lives within a 3-4 block radius in downtown Chicago. This allows for easy collaboration and building close relationships while at Booth (I consider this as part of facilities, some schools, such as HBS and Stanford, have most of the students live on campus. I consider this as a big plus)
Booth students have access to the Gleacher center downtown for more study space or space for team meetings.
Booth is located in Chicago.
Booth is segmented from the undergraduate population.

I agree. Harper is an amazing building and everything was built with the students' needs in minds. Also, as an architecture buff, I was quite pleased to see that Harper is next to the F. Lloyd Wright Robie House. I had no idea that's where it was.

That said, I kind of didn't like the commute from the downtown Chicago/Millennium Park area. You take the commuter train which, although is quite prompt, is not necessarily frequent. Then you walk maybe 1/2 a mile from the Metra Rail station to get to the Harper building.

I haven't done it enough to form a definitive opinion, and also there's obviously the option to live in Hyde Park itself. Hopefully I'll have more opportunities to try it out!

Submitted!!

The Status page still says GMAT score report not received, if we have designated chicago as one of our five schools when we took the exam then we don't need to do anything else right?

Thanks for any response

correct
And, so you don't worry later... I was a R1 admit and my 'GMAT score report received' was a red X until about a month before school this year, around when employment verification was happening. As long as you asked GMAT to send it, you have no reason to worry! The adcom does not update this section frequently.

Same here. I requested the score report to be sent back in early September. Good to know others are in the same boat.
