it's too subjective to have a really significant impact. if they really cared about it they'd have admissions committee members do every single interview (e.g. HBS).


This is simply not true. I haven't interviewed at HBS myself but the feedback I got from people who interviewed at HBS as well as Booth is that Booth is much more focused on the fit in the community. This can probably be better evaluated by a student or alumni than an admissions officer. Just because it is not done by admissions does not imply that nobody cares. And of course it is subjective. They determine whether they want you in or not. If someone is a jerk, he will probably not get in as you often have a bunch of other applicants with a similar background and same stats who did not flunk on the jerk meter.

Did other female applicants get an invite to the "Booth Women's Connect" event? I'm wondering if this is a good sign for next week.

sorry, those emails don't mean anything, even though they come from "Booth MBA Admissions". They go to everyone who is signed up in their system (i'm a guy and was invited to the women at booth thing, for example).

I got the same email and I am a guy, so I would say it is probably nothing :)

FROM The Booth Experience: Becoming Don Draper
Advertising has changed dramatically since the Sterling Cooper / Mad Men days. Although there are quite a few Don Drapers out there pitching their big ideas, advertising today has evolved into a new form that amalgamates creativity with data analytics and technology.  And this is the world that I will be part of after graduation. … Continue reading Becoming Don Draper →

Anyone who's been through the process have an idea of the timeline that calls are made? Something like 9AM to 4PM CST?

If you look back the confirmation email they sent you when you submitted your application it should say Final Decision by March 17th for R2
