What are people's thoughts on Booth's preference for recommendations? Is it vital to get a different perspective through the second letter? I feel sticking to my two professional recommenders would be safer but at the same time Im not sure whether this would hurt my application.


I have used 2 professional recommenders and both current workplace, one line manager, one senior colleague. I have shared my resume with them and application and asked if they could try to include some extracurriculars in their letters too.

One interesting way I came across was reading another letter online where the recommender wrote: Candidate X has done such and such activities, and made xyz improvements - all at the same time being involved in extra curricular activity : showing ability to manage multiple tasks, time management and prioritisation.

Food for thought!

Hi there, sorry if this has been covered before. I interviewed last night w/an alum. I was just wondering: does Booth release any admits between now and the 15th, or everything - both admits and dings - gets released at once on the 15th?

thanks and good luck, all

Hi bonkselle23,

Congrats on your interview. Chicago releases all decisions on the 15th, however in the past years admitted applicants did receive calls from the admissions committee the day before the decisions release date. I cannot tell for sure whether they will repeat that this year as well.

Good luck

Interviewed this morning on campus with a 2nd and overall I think it went very well. The questions were straightforward and consistent with the experiences of others.

During my campus visit, the admissions officer mentioned that Booth will try to call the accepted applicants.

Hmm, if we go by last year, admits get calls/emails the day before and dings go out on the day of.

Anyone else got an invite for a NYC retail event from Booth? It occurs after their decision deadline. Oh how I'd love to perceive that positively.

At the bottom you should be able to read some blurb about why you're getting these emails. I got instructions for what to do for the interview way before I got my invitation, but I think that's because I only went under review in late Octoberg, and lots of people got invitations quite quickly.

It seems that R1 applicants started receiving calls on 12/15 when the stated notification date was 12/22...

Has there been any discussion on a required format if you plan to upload document instead of using the text boxes for post-college/in-college extracurricular activities?

Thanks for the help!
