Did anyone else get an email to register for a session with a Booth executive coach about career services? Wondering if this was a mass email or targeted?

Well its a wild guess then, that you might have been admitted per some DB internally. Else, why would you get such an email?
The likely-hood of an email error might be low.
What did you take EA / GMAT? Any other highlights of your app?
Cheers

I have 18 years of WE and work in Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare. My WE is strong but UG is not from a reputable 4-year school. I took EA last month. I already have a Booth email address as I took 2 Booth courses through GSAL-B program. I decided to pivot from P/T program to executive as I fit in better with the Executive demographic.

Don't lose heart. There is still hope. I guess, WL means if someone drops out there is a slot for you or you might get a solid shot for 2022 intake with a few adjustments that you could get feedback on? Do check that my friend. (I don't know how this works myself

I got a call and e-mail indicating that I was accepted yesterday as well. Good luck to those waitlisted and still waiting to hear! I'm waiting on my other top choice before making a decision.

Wow! that is an amazing score. What study materials did you use? I am going to re-take the EA while I wait for a final decision.

Folks, I am in. Got the admit mail.
Pumped with the stunning welcome video by Booth! Loved it!

Wish you all the best in case you are waiting or waitlisted or planning to re-try.
If you are waitlisted or dinged
Trust me, I have worked years (over a decade) for this and have been dinged long time ago and gone through the troughs of trials and tough issues in work and life. Stick in there.

Congrats. Can you share what cohort you'll be in? They shared the official schedule so it's starting to feel real!

Congrats all. I am happy for all of you! I am still stumped at this waitlist. It has been 2 year long journey and self doubt is setting in.

I'm sorry to hear. If you're not admitted from the waitlist, I would consider connecting with the admissions team. They have been so nice and they might give you feedback on how to present yourself as a stronger candidate.

For the EA, if you haven't gotten the official prep, I found it really helpful. 4 practice tests, and I used GMAT club to review all of the incorrect questions and seek out stronger explanations.

Keep plugging. It was a 2 year journey for me too. I had to leave a toxic job to get in the right headspace to tackle the application components.

Booth is tied with Wharton for me and I'm waiting on them.

Give it time. Work for a few years. Get busy with something else that you care about. Then come back. Don't let the fatigue break you. Sometimes its fine to lose a battle but win the war.
And hey WL means you still got a chance.
Do. Not. Give. Up!

Booth Admissions Team By-Far is the most decent and authentic set of people I have come across.
Hands-down I hold them in the highest regard for humility and decency.
I have also heard that at a certain top ranked brand school - colored folks -- don't feel included in the community.
So, research is ON.
