Both Booth essays do not have a word limit. They’re 250 word minimums. Are you confusing the limits with some of the short answers or optional questions?

Below is the excerpt directly from my Booth application.

ESSAYS
These essays provide an opportunity for you to tell the Admissions Committee about your life, your career, and your goals. In addition to our required essays, you are also required to submit a re-applicant essay only if you have applied to any Chicago Booth program within the past two years.

Please include the essay question at the top of each essay.
Weekend MBA Essays
Essay One: Why are you seeking an MBA from Chicago Booth, and why is Chicago Booth’s Weekend MBA your program of choice? (400 words maximum)


Essay Two: The University of Chicago’s motto is “let knowledge grow from more to more; and so be human life enriched.” Please tell us how your individual perspective and experiences will enrich and have an impact on the Booth community. Feel free to use examples from both your personal and professional life. (300 words maximum)


Optional Essay
If there is any important information relevant to your candidacy you were unable to address elsewhere in the application, please share that information here. (500 words maximum)

Looks like you’re talking about the weekend MBA, I was referring to the full time MBA.

Guys get in touch with as many Booth Alumni as possible. They are all genuinely nice folks. I’ve tried to contact 6, and 5 of them actually replied. Even in their busy schedules. I haven’t had that experience with a lot of other schools. Another reason why I want to become a Boothie..

Couldnt agree more. Booth Alums are the best I have interacted so far purely in terms of willingness to help.
