The program originally served as a solely undergraduate institution until 1916, when academically oriented research masters and later doctoral-level degrees were introduced. In 1916, the school was renamed the School of Commerce and Administration. Soon after in 1922, the first doctorate program was offered at the school. In 1932, the school was rechristened as the School of Business. The School of Business offered its first Master of Business Administration (MBA) in 1935. A landmark decision was taken by the school at about this time to concentrate its resources solely on graduate programs, and accordingly, the undergraduate program was phased out in 1942. In 1943, the school launched the first ever Executive MBA program. The school was renamed to Graduate School of Business (or more popularly, the GSB) in 1959, a name that it held till 2008. During the later half of the twentieth century, the business school was instrumental in the development of the Chicago School, an economic philosophy focused on free-market, minimal government involvement, due to faculty and student interaction with members of the university's influential Department of Economics. Other innovations by Chicago Booth include initiating the first PhD program in business (1920), founding the first academic business journal (1928), offering the first Executive MBA (EMBA) program (1943), and for offering the first weekend MBA program (1986). Students at the school founded the National Black MBA Association (1972), and Chicago Booth is the only U.S. business school with permanent campuses on three continents: Asia (2000), Europe (1994), and North America (1898). Academic Concentrations: Students in the Full-time MBA, Executive MBA, and Part-time MBA programs can elect to concentrate in one or more areas of study, although some concentrations' required coursework may necessitate schedule modifications for students enrolled in the Part-time program. The various concentrations are: Accounting Analytical Management Analytic Finance Econometrics and Statistics Economics Entrepreneurship Finance General Management Human Resource Management International Business Managerial and Organizational Behavior Marketing Management Operations Management Strategic Management.

That doesn't calm my nerves since I'm an Indian in the US ... oh well!! On a side note vsetia, Q52?? I think this is the first time I'm seeing that ... good stuff

Thanks bk! I wish Booth just gave all results in one day :D

Great job onechance ! Collating the names u gave us a temporary sense of relief. The count is 6 now vsetia, sarah, riksuba, mohit,onechance and nullvoid325

Even if we take 52 as an error in typing, Q51 V44 should correspond to a 770 atleast! So either our friend seems to have been short-changed by GMAC or else ..... Good to see so many Indians out here. Best of luck to all of you. Hang in there. I know the pain is excruciating but thankfully not many more days to go! Lemme know if I can be of any help. Best, Sam

Yeah you are correct sir! I have been short changed by GMAC! On a serious note, I think I just mistyped that - this is what Booth does to people! :D

Patience is the key for all those who are waiting for the invites ....

+1. Hope we can still get some love from Booth. https://gmatclub.com/static/posted_from.png Posted from GMAT ToolKit
